HTC 1500 Battery for Ozone, I HIGHLY recommend

**Charmed Juan** · 07-19-2010, 12:29 PM

Why spend $20 for an ozone 1500Mhr battery from Amazon, when you can get Droid Eris 1500Mhr batteries with a wall charger for $10??????? Yes they are an exact fit into my Dinc. Even a 1750Mhr battery wouldn't last me a whole day so I have to fit a new battery before leaving work.
Check out Ebay.

Personally, I am funny about those low price deals from some Amazon Sellers. Not saying this is the case.....but when they sell them so cheap, I have the odd fear that they are selling a return or something that didn't meet specifications. I don't like to overpay mind you, but sometimes I don't like to "get what I pay for" either. I may had paid a little more for the 1500 through Verizon, but it has definitely paid for itself plus some.

I get the same or a little more life from the Three (two are labeled with the HTC logo) batteries I got from ebay than I do from the stock battery.
Also, what good is a spare battery if you can't charge it. That's why the cradle/wall charger is worth the $10

I am looking to condition this battery, I was always told the first 2-3 charges let it drop down to zero and then charge full.

If you are unfamiliar with Bump Charging, you charge the battery with the device on until you get the green light.

When it is green, unplug the device. Turn it off, and then plug it back in. You will see the orange charge light again. It will give an additional charge for 20 minutes or so.

When you see the green light, don't turn the device on, just unplug it, then plug it in again until it's green again. Do it one or 2 more times and you should be good.

Bump Charging novice questions: When you say to unplug the device when it is green, turn it off, and then plug it in again, etc., should I press the power switch so that the display goes dark...or should I do something more than that? And you perform these steps every morning? Doesn't that get to be time-consuming?

Push and hold the power switch for a second. A dialog box appears. select shut down and wait for the phone to turn off.
Then charge until the green light comes on.
Restart the phone and then plug the charger back in again and wait for the green light.
You are now fully charged.

San Juan answered the first one. In the morning I wake up, see if I have messages, I unplug it then turn it off and plug it in and go downstairs and have coffee. I go upstairs and see if the green light is on. If it is I unplug and plug in again and take a shower. Get out of the shower, get dressed, unplug it, power up and go.

I caught a visual of bump charging and staring at it while it charged

Note, it only takes about 20 minutes or so to bump that extra charge in there.

I ordered myself the 1500mah battery off amazon yesterday. I hope to see some improvement on this phone. If not I will have to step up and get the 2150 battery :/

Any of you with the 1500 HTC Ozone battery off Amazon notice that it doesn't fit perfectly with the stock battery cover??

Agreed. That's why I bought mine from Verizon online. I figure I'm saving myself the hassle of getting something that doesn't work, doesn't fit or explodes in my pocket.

The performance boost isn't enormous, but it is better than the stock battery. I can comfortably get through the day with a fair amount of activity. Which is worth the extra money I paid.
