The HTC Desire HD is a fabulous device but, like many smartphones, it has one weakness – the battery life. Mugen brought out a Desire HD extended battery with 1300 mAh of power. That kept us going for longer when away from mains power, but still it wasn’t enough for some.
So Mugen have just increased the capacity of the HTC Desire HD Battery to 1500 mAh but have managed to squeeze that power into the same sized battery pack, which means it still fits the phone and doesnt require a different back cover to be fitted. This means that the phone will still fit in all the Desire HD cases, Desire HD Car Holders and Desire HD Desktop Chargers that might otherwise be redundant if a new back cover bulged in the wrong place.
Beware cheap imitations and rest assured that Mugen are a reputable brand that have a years manufacturers warranty, as they are built to last.

Want to use less energy and get more battery life out of your mobile phone? Here are our top 5 tips on how to reduce your mobile phones carbon footprint.
Turn your phone off!
It may sound silly, but how many times do you turn your phone off when you go to bed at night? Chances are you’ve not had many phone calls in the middle of the night, so by turning your phone off when you go to bed, and back on again in the morning, you’re saving 8 hours a day of battery life and could extend your battery life by a few days.
Turn off Bluetooth.
Bluetooth only needs to be turned on when you need it – by leaving it turned on all day your phone is constantly looking for other Bluetooth devices and draining your battery.
Turn off GPRS, 3G & WiFi.
If you never use the internet on your mobile, you won’t notice any difference by turning GPRS and 3G off – other than having to charge your phone less! If you do use Internet on your phone through either 3G or WiFi, turn them on as and when you need them, other wise they’ll be consuming power searching for networks when there is no need.
Adjust the display.
Manufacturers normally set the screen to its brightest setting to make it look clearer. This only drains power, adjust the settings and dim the screen to a level that you can still see, but is no brighter than it needs to be. Change the screen saver settings too, set it to come on sooner – reducing the time the screen is lit up for.
Leave it alone!
We’re all guilty of it, we get bored, nervous, need to look busy, so we pick up our phones and start fiddling with them. We’re not doing anything on them, only draining the battery. Put it down and find something else to play with!
