Battery Guide

Your new battery:

• Only needs to be charged to 100%
• Does NOT NEED OR WANT! a full discharge ever

What to expect:



talk time: is the total amount of time the phone can be in a constant phone call from a full charge
standby time; is the total amount of time the phone is on and connected to a carrier signal but not in an active call.

What to really expect:

You won't get as many hours as stated above.

I have been using it a lot in the past week and will say it will get you through 1 day with ease, if you forget to charge it over night you will have battery to last you into the day but if you are going to use it a lot it won't last you through the second day.


Battery Care/Making it last:

Charge it when needed, or every night when you sleep. Although Li-ion batteries have a limit on number of recharges, if you charge it once a day, it will last for over 3 years, which is a fair amount.

1. Flight mode over night (if you do not want to receive calls/sms over night)
2. Turn down the brightness, under 50% is very bright still
3. Turn off the vibration feedback.
4. Use WMLongLife app. Will control 2G,3G, Data and Wifi to save battery.
5. Close programs
6. If there is a weak signal and you don't need the phone, turn on "Flight Mode"

Cradle + Extended Battery & Cover - £20

Extended Battery & case - £15

Both of the above products are NOT official HTC products. The case to replace your metal one will be PLASTIC.

Average mixed use - charge every other day

Intensive video watching or 3D games drops the battery life significantly

I realized that its impossible for me to live without a spare batteri, but this spring ill find a solar cell solution (if possible) for my bike. I drive around 100 km each day and would hate to loose my Gps/music.

lol sorry man, how long before you get yours you think?

by the way.. there is quite alot of software for this :S i've downloaded about 1gb from 1 free site, not even anywhere near fully, still need to visit xda.

Nah Quig, im "tech challenged"...
Used 20 hours straight to make FpseCE run on my HD2, it just wont work and i dont understand any of the few advises i get 

Which site and what, anything interesting? 

bump edited it and also added an extended battery £15 and extended battery + cradle £20, both of these are on PRE-ORDER! (you won't get it untill they get it in stock. no clue on the date)
i don't know what the case will look like, but i have emailed them asking for a real picture (doubt they can send) if you do buy it please upload a few pictures to let others (and myself ) see what it will look like.

i'm only putting this in because official extended battery from clove tech is like £50, and devicewire.

the £15 battery is not official, and the case cover is plastic not metal.

"No this is not an official HTC battery but a high quality clone
replacement. HTC themselves have not announced an extended life replacement
battery for the HD2.

We will not have screenshots of the battery available until our
stock arrives, however the cover is not metal as per the original HD2
battery cover but is a plastic cover."

It gets better in time anyway, after the first charge. The first week you could experience bad battery life, but after that its gonna be ok.
