There are all these threads about the looks of the new battery, but can someone give a performance review?
Is there a noticable difference?
Thanks!

HTC 2150 Battery
- Thread starter AHfootball12
- Start date
1300 - 2150 yes there will be a noticeable difference.
My 1750 can stretch me out as far as 12 hours under normal to heavy usage, so I would imagine the 2150 should yield at least 3 more hours. If you look at the normal battery for usage statistics the 1300 can go for about 5 hours before needing to charge.
1300 = Stock (5 hours)
1750 = ~35% bigger (6.75-8+)
2150 = ~65% bigger (8.25-10+)
3500 = ~169% bigger (13.45-15+)
Those are my hard estimates, usage based on moderate to heavy usage on my experience.

I would also say, based on info on the net about these batteries, the 2 OEM batteries are most likely very closely rated at or near their capacity (that would be the 1300 and the 2150).
The 2 non-OEM batteries overrate their capacity (1750 and the 3500). So if the stock battery gets x, the 2 OEM batteries, based upon capacity, would give you that rating. The 2 non-OEM batteries, even though rated at 1750 or 3500, probably do not have that stated capacity and thus would not give you that given percentage over the stock 1300.
Make sense? LOL

If you are referring to the battery boss website, you can not base your opinion off of that. He tested one battery of each type except the knock off china no-names. If you have other information I would love to read that. If you got your information from a different site I would love to see the reference/cite.
Based off my R/C car voltage testing technique etc my 1300 was within 5% of what it was rated and my 1740 is within 5% +/- . I tested both of them three times as that all the spare time I had over the last few weeks.
As far as over rating/underrating etc from various manufactures they all do it. For instance the 3500 may only be a 3300 or the 1750 may only be a 1500 the stock 1300 could be a 1100 or maybe even a 1450. It happens, there are variances in construction from batch to batch. To get a true read on things you would need to take a mass sample from their warehouse and test at least 50-100 batteries for a proof positive testing sample.
All cells from the respective companies HTC/Seidio buy their cells from Japanese companies, and I'm willing to bet possibly the same company which could reasonably be considered the same quality if true. So take them for what they are, as long as they are name branded, and go.

Im charging mine to to full capacity right now... I will have a better estimate tomorrow around this time. I am a moderate to heavy user. I also work in a building where cell phone reception is hard to get but I do have 1 bar in my office. I know that eats up a lot of battery so we will see tomorrow.
Usually I take my phone off the charger at 6am (Arizona MTN Time) and by noon (Arizona MTN time) i am around at roughly 40-50% with my stock 1300mah battery. By 330pm, it would be dead if I didn't charge it with my USB on my computer.
Tomorrow, I will attempt no USB charging.
2 hours and 20 mins after taking off charger... Enable Mobile Data on, GPS on, Wi-Fi on... Many texts, updates to Twitter, Facebook, and pictures taken... Have not killed any apps since restarting... Still at 100% on the battery widget...
Wow pretty impressive, but did you reset your meter before you placed the new battery in? It may still be reading the 1300 levels. Not sure exactly how you do it on the incredible with no root access. Some say a soft reset, some say a full hard reset. Who know.
My 1750 has been off battery for about 2 hours and I'm at 85% under heavy usage this morning. Everything on, but haven't streamed any music or video via 3G.

Same experience here along with browsing the Apps store for a bit. After 2.5 hours the battery finally went down one bar and this is only after the first charge out of the box. The batteries usually get even better as they are "seasoned" with a few charges.
No reset or anything done... Just replaced the battery, left it powered off and charged until green... I've just spent some time on Facebook, and I have a World Cup app that checks the game every 5 minutes for goals, plus several Widgets running and the Aquarium Live wallpaper... Just over 2.5 hours and it just turned to 98%...
Yeah seems like a really nice jump in longevity on battery life. Sounds like it's worth it for a lot of people!
Here's my review for you. I've had it one full day now. Here's my setup...
Yahoo emails update every 2 hours
Gmail pushes to my phone when I receive an email
A few RSS feed readers (I'm not sure how often they automatically update)
Beautiful Weather updates every hour
Dow and S&P 500 widgets that update every few hours
Engadget widget that updates every few hours
news widget that updates every 6 hours
FML widget that updates every few hours
Android Central widget (not sure of the update frequency but I THINK it's every few hours)
It's been off the charger for 10 hours and 24 minutes and I have about 60% battery life left. Now keep in mind I was getting about 5 hours with the original battery. Since I'm rooted here's a screen cap just because I can LOL...

With the 1750 under heavier usage than that at 9hours 50 minutes I'm at 35% for the day so far. Just for observation and variation.
I forgot I took a lot of pictures today cause I"m remodeling my game room and I want pictures of the process. After I take the pics they automatically upload to photobucket. Made a number of phone calls, decent amount of texts and emails, Also, I surfed the net for about an hour with it when I first took it off the charger. WIFI was on all day as well.

Call VZW (611 on your phone) and order from them. They may tell you it's out of stock but it is definitely in stock.
All I can say is WOW! I thought the 2150 would be much better than what you show.
See now the bad starts coming in. @StarFly you have to have a bad app somewhere because I have a 1750 that lasts longer than that.
Is there some place I can read about the R/C car voltage testing technique ?
I don't exactly agree with the fact that you want me to "accept" that the 50$ 1750mAh battery might be a 1500mAh and I should just be ok with it. It's up to the manufacturer to test their samples and rate them accordingly.
I've started enough controversy on another forum and I will begin testing a few samples with the same device/setup that BatteryBoss used. But I'd like to get a better understanding of the method you used.
thanks.
