Accessories CHICHITEC 1900 mAh batteries

I got the 2 pack + wall charger. They are great. I can go a whole day with my normal usage (few calls maybe 3-4, tons of texting, some internet, lots of market browsing) and end the day with about 72-80% vs my normal 50%
Im running CM7 with chads incredikernel.
what I did was I charged the battery in the included charger till full, then booted my phone to recovery, wiped battery stats (im rooted, yes), THEN powered down and popped in the 1900 and im running GREAT!

That right there makes me question the actual capacity of this battery. Even a 1500mAh battery is barely able to fit under the stock cover (Seido's 1750 mAh battery isn't really 1750mAh). Just be careful ordering this as it could be a re-branded 1300mAh battery.

htcexpress batteries have been known to be legit products, check around the forum for posts about the 1800 they already sell. My 1800 definitely has a greater life over the evo 1500.

Good to know crazy, I just ordered my 1900s today, I'm still on my 1800 and love it!

I thought the same thing.
I am using the Seidio 1750, and I can go all day on a charge if I am in an area with a strong signal. But if I am in an area with a weak signal, it drains much faster. It's hard to believe that if you can't cram 1750 into the stock battery frame size, then how can you get 1900 into that small package?

Yup, looks like they are now selling 1900mAh batteries over at htcexpress now.

Anyone have one yet? I'm not sure when they started selling them but just noticed today. I have my 1800 right now and still love it. Will probably order a 1900 later today.

Thoughts anyone?

CHICHITEC HTC EVO 4G BATTERY 1900mAh high capacity OEM Verizon Incredible Droid TOUCH PRO2 HTC HERO

Any update? I just got mine in yesterday and am charging it up for the first time so I will let you guys know what I think in comparison to my 1500 RHOD160 that I've been using. That battery started out as a slight upgrade, getting me an extra 3 hours... but has died off quickly in 7 months. If this 1900 gets me a full day with average use, I'll be a happy man.

So far the past few days, I've noticed I can let the phone sit for about 8 1/2 hours and only loose 1-2%.

I'd easily say moderate usage for this last day. From 4:30am yesterday till now, 6:00am the next day, I'm at 68 percent. (5-10 reboots from various mods/themes, and flashing a radio in the bootloader/ into recovery for some things, my average amount of calls/texts, bout a half hour of actual browsing on xda app/miui app, few market updates including the newest google maps update/browsing for apps, making layouts throughout the day, downloaded a handfull of wallpapers and themes from the theme manager in miui and anyone who uses that knows that takes a bit) All I can think of at the moment.

I don't bump charge ever, and this was all on 3g with my dbm's being in the -90+'s 99% of the time.

Imo equal or better than the 1800 I had, and I highly bet better, but I'm not on a rom that I can see my awake time. So until I go back to one of my sense roms I won't truly know. But I like it..

Do these batteries have rounded corners like the stock battery, or are they square like most of the 1500s? I have one with square corners and I find my case doesn't fit nicely, it makes the whole phone feel junky.

Will they sell just one? Seems like a good deal, but the second one would be a complete waste since I already have several other spare batteries.


Thanks

How is this battery doing? I currently have the HTC 1500.

It's certainly better than the 1500. I go a full day with moderate use with the 1900 and by 5pm I still have about 25% battery left. I can't say for sure how long this will keep up... but if it's for 6 months, I feel I got my $18 worth. Also this battery fits perfectly in my stock Incredible - nothing needs to be adjusted or modified.

With off-brand lithium ion batteries, you need to ensure the build quality is sufficient; I've heard of one too many poorly constructed Made-in-China specials exploding inside laptops, cell phones, and cameras.

So does anyone have any info on this battery's build quality? Does it seem good? Is the manufacturer in good standing?

Guys! I have bought many extended, so called oem batteries over Ebay and Amazon that promised same or better life per charge. All seemed the same or even worse. So what i have done was peeled of the cover off and what i have found was that the batteries that claimed 1500mah would be around 900mah. So if you wanna be sure in what you getting, peel it off take a picture and send it back to the seller half way off. I think its a crime for them to sell us crap!! I got a new phone the HTC sensation 4g, i will test the Anker and Chichitec claim of 1900mah.

If you guys wanna see me post pics for proof comment. thank you
you can comment with the pics of your own if you like
