Does anyone know of any high capacity batteries available for the Ameo/Athena?
Or any articles anywhere to say they are on their way?
Not too sure about an internal extended battery but I use one of these http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=4111 I can run for three days with both units charged without recource to the car or mains, light weight and easy to carry plus it can charge most other devices - worth a look - Mike
Perfect! Want one! Cheers!
The link doesn't work any more. In the meantime, we have a 2400mAh high capacity battery and charger for the Athena. It is not in stock right now but we are thinking about bringing some in by Air. Let us know if you need any.

What is the price? Is it the same size/weight as the existing battery? Not knowing much, does 2400 vs 2200 mAh make much difference in battery life? THANKS!
few questions regarding new battery...

Let me know how much and ETA. Some questions:
- How much do these extend the battery life of the device? Talk time / Stand-by time?
- Do they come with the metal clip or without metal clip?
- How do you use charger? USB, etc?
- Description says External Battery. What's up with that? Does the battery go inside or outside of the phone?
I may be in the market for a few of these so let us know ASAP and thanks. I hope the price isn't crazy.

One more thing guys, this thread belongs in the "Athena accessories" section not here. For future reference.

Where you go??? Let us know what's going on. I may want to purchase a few of these if all is well. Don't post and run!...unless you were Spamming the forum and that will bring a ban. :-/
Mark is generally trustworthy, judging by his activity on other forums. He is probably just busy at work. Give it time, he'll answer.
I been buying mugen batteries for years and Mark is a nice guy, no spammer trust me. the pictures show that the battery does have a clip like the original battery. It probably says external because it is removeable (not an internal battery).From my experience with mugen, a 2200 mah battery versus a stock 2200mah the mugen battery will last longer.
so even if its only a few more mah I would rather buy the mugen anyday than the stock battery. You will hear from me soon mark for an order. GM

NO spamming! I went to NYC for the weekend as a little get away with the wife. Spent most of the time shopping in Manhattan. Looking for cheap stores. Ended up at expensive stores. I think it'll be cheaper to get a new wife.
On the other hand, maybe not.
But I'm back today and I think I'll tell the powers that be to get some brought in by air. I'll have someone contact the factory and see when we can have some shipped in by air. Hopefully it'll be faster than by sea. Otherwise we'll have to wait for the ones on the ocean. I'll let you know tomorrow.

Q.) How much do these extend the battery life of the device? Talk time / Stand-by time?
A.) I will have to get back to you. The manufacturer is checking that information now. But, typically, we can expect about a 10% increase in capacity.
Q.) Do they come with the metal clip or without metal clip?
A.) Yes it comes with the metal clip and the metal is at the end of the battery.
Q.) How do you use charger? USB, etc?
A.) i) The charger could use the USB cable to connect with the computer for charging, or ii) it also can use the original AC adaptor with the USB plug.
Q.) Description says External Battery. What's up with that? Does the battery go inside or outside of the phone?
A.) It is a battery that fits identically like the OEM battery. We indicate it as external meaning that you do not need to use any tools to open the device to add the battery. Some devices require the user to use Torx screwdrivers to pry open the case to add a battery. This battery is not designed in this fashion.
I hope that these have answered most of your questions. Now, when will we get them? I asked Mugen Power to see if we can get them flown in and it is possible however, they will only be ready to ship by 8/10. So we should have a some in stock for about 8/17. More will arrive about 2-3 weeks after that. We will keep you posted.

I am sure lionbattery will roll one out after some time.
I will jump all over an extended battery. I'm pissed because I just ordered an extended battery for my 8525 and now I'm about to upgrade to the Kaiser. (Didn't realize the Kaiser was released so soon when I ordered the battery).
An extended battery is a must. I use pushmail so my internet connection is always enabled. That drains my battery SO FAST.
What about this?

Dont do that. I bought a 3600mah for the same price or less that's the same size. That's what im talking about though it makes the phone really bulky.
I just rather carry an external 4 AA battery charger. It lasts me 3 days continual usage. The AA batteries are each 2800mAh and are rechargeable. So enjoy!
really 4AA last that long? but hmm dont you have to have the batteries in a diff unit and then that unit is connected via USB? or how?
btw i think ill be skipping on kaiser, i got a used 8525 for the price of just the phone but with 2x 1500 bat and i believe a 3000 one... plus the original battery as well with the external battery charger this is great... which it came with as well
reasons for skipping is because of tmobile, who knows when they will get there act together, and i really want a phone that has vga for web now... i can see how it would make a big diff, but the battery will have to be like 1500 stock+ or so to run well i believe.
finaly! (maybe)

Why AA batterys? Because AA batterys can be had just about ANYwhere. From a quickstop, WalMart, or even rob them out of another device to get your phone back up and running. Plus you can use rechargable batterys too. I use the battery extender from ThePocketSolutions. Have been for over a year and a half. I personally keep the lithium camera batterys in mine. I only use it in a pinch when I don't have access to a charger.
I see your point about rechargeables, guess they would work the same way, and probably save money at the same time.
The Kaiser battery page has been updated. The capacity is 2800mah The picture is kind of blury. The back cover looks to be original but sticks out. hmm 2800mah for $60+shipping or 2700mah on ebay for $31+shipping. c'mon 3200mah.... anyone??

Has anyone tried the 2700mAh battery on Ebay? There seems to be two sellers selling these batteries with cover; one from Hong Kong and one from UK.
I ve just orderer a 2700 ma battery on ebay from hong kong. I bought a 2400 ma battery from them one year ago for my Hermes and I was happy with it. So I can say they are proffesional people. And only 19 dollars!!
Dani
Mmm, I'm just afraid these third party batteries explode after a while. I'm interested in ordering one as well but I'm looking for a hard case that will fit with it. Otherwise, using one of those high capacity batteries would mean that I'm left without a proper case. I have an Axim X50v with an extended battery and a fitting PDair case so it shouldn't be impossible to make a fitting one.
Just found an even higher capacity battery for the Tilt at 3000mah. But the back cover made the phone really thick. The back cover does look shiny
http://4ustuff.com/info.php?itno=2277
Edit: damn its wholesale only.
I came across this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170212826483
It's a solar charger with 6000mAh internal battery. Output voltage is 5.5V and output current 1A. For me it seems to be perfect for our Kaisers.
I doubt you would get even external battery with such capacity for this price (it's £20 including P+P to Slovakia). And this thing even charges itself "on its own".
I will be probably buying one in a few days, but I would like to know if anybody has any experience with or opinions about this (such) device. Please share.
In my understanding it's only a solar-charger not an extended battery.
It would be nice to get an extended battery included the solar charger for Kaiser.
It does have 6000mAh acumulator inside and it can be charged via (included) AC adapter. So in a sense - it is (and can be used as) external battery extender.
Yes, actually it is so, but then it's too heavy to carry.
My wish is to have an extended battery with solar charger on the back cover. I know its just a wish, but would be a nice accessory.
Oh, I see what you are up to. IMO that would be inpractical, since you would have to have your Kaiser laying top-side-up to charge. Something like this might come to your interest (if they would make it for Kaiser, that is): http://gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=12048 It's an iPhone case that has Solar panel on the front of it.
Yes, something like that. I don't feel unpractical until I can find a smooth surface to lay down kaiser on LCD panel. Before some Nokia model came with such solar panel, I think great solution.

just have an off topic question. What battery are u using now? If some extended, where did u buy it? I cant seem to find a store here in Slovakia that sells batteries for Kaiser.
I'm using Mugen Power 1500mAh.

HLI-P4550SL Mugen Power 1500mAh Extended Battery For TYTN II (P4550) / HTC Kaiser 120, T-Mobile MmDA Vario III, Vodafone V1615, AT & T Tilt 8925 (Cingular)

I currently use only OEM 1350mAh that came with my Kaiser. I have, however, bought this extended 2800mAh battery from ebay, which I am still waiting to arrive. I think ebay is the way to go for things like these - they are very expensive and hard to get in standard shops in Slovakia.
And I am very much considering the external battery w/ solar charger mentioned in my first post. I would use it especially for long (couple of days) bike trips that I will be doing. And £20 price for such thing is extremely good price

Not really (may be 2hrs longer uptime), but I needed a spare battery as well. You also can buy 2000-3000mAh battery, those should be significantly longer uptime, but they come with a wider back-cover.
Okay, thanks for info.
@all:
I have just bought that 6000mAh solar charger. Will inform you in this thread, when I recieve it.
i too have recently ordered this, hope it is as good as it claims to be, or at least nearly as good, hope I don't have to wait too long for it to be shipped from Hong Kong
I have been astonished by its specification (and price), too. If it is going to be as good as it claims then the money spent will be surely worth it.
do you guys know if you can change the internal battery? for that price i skeptical about the quality of the 6000mah battery. can the solar panel charge the phone directly?
i don't know, i am waiting on delivery any time from 3 days til a week away from recieving it, will tell you all about it with pics if i get it before omikr0n
If the battery is totally dead, can it run the phone on solar power alone?
Got my replacement Vibrant in today (another brand new one - 3rd one)...
NOT HARDWARE LOCKED!
Was the first thing I checked when I put the battery in, and it went to Recovery first attempt XD
9/30/10 phone.
Are there any portable battery chargers for these Vibrant batteries? Since I have two extras I reckon it wouldn't be a bad idea to carry around a spare so I don't have to worry too much about conserving battery (can just switch quickly halfway through the day if needed).

Although most of these have two more batteries added to them and they are also from Hong Kong but with alot of good reviews.
I've never seen two batteries and a charger for $10. Hrm... I already have two extra batteries so I guess I may get one just for the charger. I don't trust those batteries, though...
Thanks!

i was about to ask for a third replacement too, but i ended up trying out the odin ji4 flash and it unlocked the hardware on my phone. Didn't have to go through with the replacement anymore.
I personally use this, but I don't carry around spare batteries.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Motorola-Portab...237198?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35ad07d08e
I use it along with a Mini to Micro adapter with a 6" or so cable.
I only really carry it when I plan on traveling. Battery gets low I jump start it with the portable.
If you're not a fan of ebay, you might also want to check out:

Phone works just fine, but in my haste to flash a rom I didn't check my battery charge and screwed the pooch. So I hacked a USB cord to route power to the phone. In the process of doing so I somehow torched the ability to charge a battery. So I am thinking 50 bucks or something like that.
*sigh* so now I have a droid incredible 2
However, this means that for a small price someone could have this droid 2 to build on and know that it just needs soldered power conduit or if you are really $$ you could figure out how to fix the charging aspect of the phone.

Honestly the phone is a paper weight really for anyone looking to get practical mobility out of it.
The only way the phone will power on is with the hacked USB cable I have made. Basically overrides battery and powers the phone.
Would be ideal for someone who wants to try and have verizon fix it. Or to build ROMs on.
The phone is in slightly used shape. Screen is protected and flawless. Keyboard is find as well. Small nick on one of the corners. The phone will not recognize any new battery. Phone loads a display of a battery with a ? inside of it. When a battery is inserted.
I am here to solve your problem my brutha Go to radio shack, they have a enercell universal charger for 40 bucks there that will let you charge ANY cell phone battery (did the same thing). Charge your battery and bring it back to the store for a full refund, or keep it like I did as I do stupid things regularly
Hi guys. I have accidentally detached the connector from the battery. I don't know how to solder. I have looked for, but cannot find a replacement battery for my Nook. the battery is a 3.7V, 1,530mAh Li-ion battery (model: MLP305787).
Does anyone know where I can find one?
Bill
The connector pins are not soldered, but crimped on in any case.
Of the six wires, two are for plus, two are for ground and two are for the temp sensor.
The temp sensor is the only non-generic aspect;
I don't know whether it's PTC or NTC or what its curve is.
Thanks for the reply, but I don't know how to use the information you have provided. I don't know anything about crimping wires and don't know where to put the plus, ground and temp wires. I would need a pretty detailed howto to try this on my own. Otherwise, it seems a replacement battery would be best for me.
Bill
I meant mostly to get the exact battery with a connector and the right temperature sensor might be difficult.
I doubt that B&N supplies this.
OTOH, a generic lithium battery about the right size is probably easy to find.
You'd have to use the wires from the old battery.
If you were enterprising enough, you could even use the old temperature sensor.
I know that this doesn't exactly help you with your problem.
If I screwed up the connector, I would probably just solder the wires directly to the board.

FWIW, I just did a search (as my NST battery seems to be draining very fast, I suspect likely because it is simply no longer holding charge), there are ads on eBay for BNRV300 battery replacement with 1900-2100 MAh capacity from US sellers for as low $14.95 shipped.
