Yesterday we recommended batteries of various flavours for the Samsung Galaxy S series, and now we’re back to look at batteries for a classic pair of handsets – the HTC Desire and Desire HD. We’ll be sharing our favourite replacement batteries and portable chargers for each handset. Let’s get right into it, starting with the newer handset!
Recommended replacement battery: The Andida Extended Battery is a rare breed, a battery that is the same size as the original but packs in a lot more power. You’ll get 1800mAh to be specific, giving you about 1.5x the battery life. That’s a massive increase, and makes for an easy choice when paired with the Andida’s low price.
Recommended portable charger: The Pama Plug N Go is a good choice here, as the Desire HD has a smaller battery capacity than the Desire, yet consumes more power. That means more frequent recharges and a bigger battery to compensate. The Plug N Go has a 4000mAh capacity and charges at a rate of 1A, so you’ll be able to recharge rapidly and repeatedly.
Recommended portable charger: The original Desire boasts slightly improved battery life compared to the HD, so a smaller, cheaper and more portable charger seems fitting. A great choice is the Playfect Slide, a tiny portable charger that packs 2200mAh of power. The sliding mechanism that gives the Slide its name also keeps the ports free of dust and dirt, while the sleek shape makes it easy to pocket the Slide or keep it in your bag while travelling.
