Mugen HTC Desire Battery Extended Battery - 1600mAh

I love this battery. But it is very important th recalibrate the phone, especially the disire and nexus one! 1) switch on your smartphone, load until the led is green 2) turn off, load until the led is green (in the off state) 3) switch on your phone, if the boot is complete turn of your phone 4) load you phone until the led is green (in the off state) 5) turn it on --> so you have the full capacity!!! this is a htc-manual, if the battery doesn't reach his full capacity otherwise the battery rembember the old state and doesn't load "over" the 1400mah.

After 4 full discharge and recharge cycles the performance of this 1600 mAH battery was worse (lasted only half of one day) than the one year old original HTC 1400 mAH battery.

i bought this upgrade battery because the standard HTC desire battery doesnt last a day even when on standby. This battery is not as good as the standard HTC item.

I purchased this item as I was only getting 10 hours out of the standard HTC battery, after several full charges I now get about 14 hours so believe it to be well worth the extra expense. How I use my phone. I have WFI permanently turned on and connected for at least 90% of the day. Account sync always on connected to my Gmail, twitter and facebook accounts. I use the power control widget to set the screen to a lower setting and turn blue tooth and GPS on as needed. Usage of battery Call standby 20% WIFI 23% Android system 23% Phone idle 18% Display 7% Internet 3% Calls 6% Hope this helps

Murgen high cap (1600mAH) battery is a comparable replacement in battery life to the original HTC. Might be a bigger capacity on paper but I believe it only charges to around 80% of capacity. Still a good buy as a replacement but don't expect miracle battery life, I get around 1 day normal use without charge.

My standard HTC battery was not giving me the life that I need for my job, so rather than pay £25.48 for another HTC BA S410 Desire Battery. I WASTED an extra £8.17 of my hard earned cash on the Mugen HTC Desire Battery Extended Battery - 1600mAh priced at £33.65. Quite what is extended about the Mugen battery I have yet to find out. But I can assure you it is NOT the battery life. I will be ask Mobile Fun if they can explain what Mugen mean by “Extended”. Despite having slavishly followed the instructions to do five complete charge discharge cycles before it will reach its full capacity, this battery 1600mAh battery has yet to achieve the life of my year old standard HTC 1400 mAh battery indeed it is worse! If you are looking for extra battery life? DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT it does NOT give longer battery life, just buy the standard battery and save yourself £8.17 and a lot of frustration and anger.
