Mugen 1950mAh Slim Extended Battery for HTC Rezound

[phorts]

Looks like Mugen is releasing a slim extended battery for our HTC Rezound. Same physical size as the stock battery so it will fit with the stock cover. It's 1950mAh which is 17% more than the stock 1620mAh.

Verizon HTC Rezound, 1900mAh Slim Extended Battery | Mugen Power Battery,

I bought the 1750mAh Seido battery for my Incredible 1, which was 35% more than the 1300mAh stock battery. Not very ground-breaking performance difference so i'm not too optimistic about this one.

Will be interesting to see some tests run to see if there is enough improvement to warrent the $45 rake.

This item will be available on or before 7 February 2012.

I'd prefer something a bit more....like 2200 mah. BTW, make sure they do justice to the antenna if you get this. Pretty important for the Rezound as it's built into the back cover. The 2750 performs well with signals.

I'm interested only if it doesn't have issues with the battery meter (gets greyed out or something) as has been reported from users using non-HTC batteries in our phone...

$45 is a lot considering myself and many others got the extended battery with back cover for $30 with free 2 day shipping, some even less. But i guess if you must have the extra juice in the stock form factor, then it may be worth it. I wonder what the true long term rating is after a years worth of use is compared to stock.

Yeah i thought about the Extended Battery but the phone w/ case is already chunky. Any more would be unacceptable IMO. I agree the $45 tag is too much for just over 15% increase, although 15% may be all i need to get me through a normal day. Guess i'll be a chargin until we get some facts on this baby.

Makes me think that with the current battery technology limitations the 4LTE time hasn't come yet.

It's delayed till March. Unconfirmed day. I already asked them.

Funny because I emailed them yesterday, they responded

"This item is available to order, we can ship out the item within 5 days after receiving the payment."

Please post results on this battery if someone gets it. I really interested on how well it performs.

Damn that battery cost as mush as my Rezound, I paid $50.00 buck's for the Rezound. Post the results thanks.

yeah it is costy, but for Mugen's reputable customer support its worth to give them a LIKE on Mugen facebook page and receive some discount codes for that, just a friendly tip. By the way ordered the battery, satisfied with a performance, and loving that it fits the original cover. But i wonder if Mugen plans to release a bigger power battery any time in close future???

Do you have an estimate of how much more time you get based on your usage? (assuming your usage has been consistent)

To add on to the previous question;
1.) Are you able to charge the phone normally, or does the battery charging need to be done externally?
2.) Does the battery make the cover bulge out a bit, or is this the same exact size as the stock battery?
3.) Does it overheat?

Thanks in advance. I'm interested in buying one of these.

 

[MarkSeven]

I am also very interested in this!

correct answers to these questions would definitely be an enticement to buy. Wondering also just how much longer on average you would get out of a charge

Will this work with the thunderbolt too?

 

[blackjaguar25]

How many hours did the regular battery last you?

 

[jmk32]

Does this battery grey out the battery meter at the top of the phone as some other non HTC battery's supposedly do?

I have the htc extended battery, something around 2700 mAh. It's awesome. It does add some girth to the phone but I don't care. It's so fricken nice to not worry about charging through a full day.
