[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
Yes I've replaced my stock battery with two others: stock HTC batteries and a Seido 1600mAh extended battery, all with the same results(bad battery life). I just bought them tho and didn't bother with warranty replacement. Looking back I guess I should have. Anyway I DO think it's possible they are all defective due to my having repeatedly run them down to 0% at times. The Mugen came with a warning to never ever run the battery down to zero percent. I have also read here and at other sites that running them all the way down is bad for them. I'm no battery expert so I cannot say for sure, but you make a valid point.

My stock batteries would sometimes shut down the Nexus even tho it still showed 15% of power left: I would resolve this by wiping batter stats in recovery. Yes this is a concern I have but I cannot test it as I am not willing to drain this Mugen below 20%. Right now the battery has been off charge for 21 and a half hours and I am at 59% battery life left. When I am done cycling this battery I will hopefully never have to deal with seeing that battery get to even close to 15%, 20%, etc.. because I will be going to bed and putting it on charge long before then. Also, I do not want to risk draining this battery 100% as Mugen warns not to do that. They are very explicit about this.

I must also add that I do not use Facebook or Twitter(I use launcherPro Twitter widget but sync it manually) I removed the official apps via Titanium. Thought I should mention this since you reminded me with your post. This can also contribute to my good battery life, although it never did much good with the stock batteries, but again maybe they are defective.

i've read the same here at XDA and at other sites and it's a valid concern worth mentioning. For me it doesn't matter what they rate the battery at as I'm experiencing fantastic results, but that does not mean Mugen does not fudge numbers. So again a valid concern. My advice is to try it and return it if you do not get satisfactory results. If you get horrible battery life, my opinion is that it's worth a try.

hey Paul, yes I cycled the stock and Seido as recently as last week. I've tried every trick you find in a search here at XDA or Google. I even tried that trick where you drain the battery repeatedly to reset the battery meter, then charge it back. Also tried the trick of power to 100%, letting it drop to 99%, then turning off and placing back on charge. Light turns amber again and charges for another 30 minutes or so. All this did was make it stick at 100% for some extra time(usually an hour) then it would start dropping faster than normal tho.

Just for the record guys: I understand the skepticism. I was always skeptical of battery power claims. I suppose I wouldn't believe me either if I were just reading my posts and not experiencing this.

Again: I have been off power since 2pm yesterday and I am at this moment at 58% battery power left. I did sleep for six hours and didn't use the device for that period, but still, for me, this is incredible.

EDIT: one other thing I forgot to mention I do: I am ALWAYS checking and making sure my Nexus is sleeping properly via Spare Parts. I have had apps that cause my device to not sleep properly and that hurts battery life. In fact, just yesterday I caught the latest WeatherBug Elite update causing my Nexus not to sleep for the second time since they started recently updating it. I have now returned to a previous version I backed up and am having no sleeping issues at this time. If you are having poor battery life it is something to check and keep an eye on.
