Here's the first shipping cradle, not for me yet as I'm looking for one that charges a 2nd battery. There is one here that has audio out however;
http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=1211
Have you seen a stand alone charger that will charge just the battery?
I'm not one for leaving the phone in the cradle, but I do like to charge a spare battery and cycle the batteries.
I have my eye out for one as well, Last time I got a nice one from Sedio.
Although, I also got a Cradle/Spare Charger from Mobile Planet for my Hermes that was smaller than the single charger so that's what I ended up traveling with, so I could charge 2 when needed. The mobile planet one was from HTC and was the best quality, hopefully they'll make a TyTN version.
Kaiser Cradle with Extra Battery Charger
I ran across this one today...but it says it is not in stock yet.
http://www.talkietech.com/htckatiip4de.html
I emailed them, but have not heard back on an estimated date yet.
It looks good, but looking at the pictures, it has more that 4 contacts for the battery which looks more like TyTN's instead of TyTN II but that's probably a mock-up. I'm hoping still for a HTC version, their TyTN version had the 2nd battery set on edge behind the phone which made for a much more compact charger. Fingers crossed for a type II version..

I'm afraid to use my 8925 as a daily phone without a spare battery. I can get through the day with my 750 with a spare battery in pocket (usually go from 7 a.m. until around 3 with the first battery).
But with only one battery and no stand alone charger, the 8925 is kind of a toy at this point.
Hey buddy, I have a "stand alone" charger to sell you for 1000 bucks. It's fully featured with a 2.8 inch touch screen, bluetooth, wifi, keyboard, GPS and phone. I'll even throw in a 2 gig microsd card and free shipping too.
I will take it!
But only if you will take Western Union and throw in the Brooklyn Bridge.
Gotta believe with AT&T releasing the Tilt we will have cradles and batteries available pretty fast.
here is the link and it is on sale http://www.talkietech.com/htckatiip4de.html
re
the link says that its still not in stock and coming soon.
Is the Tilt able to use the 8525's desktop cradle?
In most cases it will fit, but the rear is thinner so there isn't good support. I'm using one carefully until I can get the real deal for Kaiser/Tilt. Any 2nd battery cradle will NOT fit/charge the Kaiser battery.
I have the following cradles available for the Kaiser:
- Vertical cradle (no 2nd battery charger)
- Horizontal cradle (no 2nd battery charger)
- Vertical cradle with 2nd battery charger
- Dome-style vertical cradle (no 2nd battery charger)
Pictures are below.
If you're interested ... PM me.
Interesting cradle, that horizontal one. But how does it load? The USB-Port is on the other side or is it just an "photo-fake"?
Bye, Peter
the horizontal one looks dope.
The hoizontal one is junk. I got one just like it for my XV6700. The mini USB never lined up quite right. Eventually, I slid the phone in and the mini USB connector broke off and went into the dock. It then became a worthless paperweight. The cutesy stylus is super cheap clear plastic.
Also, as someone else has already noted, the picture has the phone placement wrong.
Has anyone tried this from PDAir? Looks ok.
I just got a shipment confirmation for a cradle from Talkietech.com so it looks like they have it in stock.

Hello!
Have anybody tried batteries for Kaiser, that are sold at Ebay? They look cheap and capacious.
http://search.ebay.com/kaiser-battery_W0QQfromZR40QQfrtsZ0
for example this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2800-mAh-BATTER...ryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Thanks
I have that one and its quite good, needs to be taken out at half charge or whenever as the phone thinks there is no power left.
How is with GPS? Does it works with this type of batteries? I have heard that there are some batteries that blocks GPS signals..
I still get GPS just fine, I haven't had any problems at all with it, yet....
Thanks, so I'll take it

I bought the same battery and it does not fit my TILT. The battery is too thick for the included battery cover. They want me to send it back to Hong Kong. I am awaiting email to see if they will reimburse the return shipping. Beware.
wow, thanks for reply, but I already bought it (for kaiser) strange - maybe there is a difference in batteries for TILT and for KAISER
Nope! Battery in link to eBay will not work with the Tilt!
Kaiser is the universal name for the phone! AT&T calls it the tilt! HTC subscribers [I believe] call it TyTN II. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!
^^(aztilt) I'm surprise they are allowing a return and refund, since they are in Hong Kong and the reason for a return is 'incorrect battery' right?
This battery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350254 seems to be a great replacement for all others! Post #73 lists an estimated life increase! BEWARE: I believe company is still fixing any bugs/problems!
Their ad lists the Cingular 8925 which is the AT&T TILT. They are allowing a return and a refund of the return shipping cost. But, for $20 I am going to just keep the battery as an emergency backup. I don't need the cover to use the battery. I also found out that i can carry two standard batteries under the extended battery cover so that what I am doing now. I just have to open the cover and swap the battery if I need to. This way I will always have a spare backup battery with me.
The battery is bigger. You need to install a different battery door cover. If you search ebay they sell the extended battery door cover. Most sellers include the battery cover replacement cover for extended battery when your buy the extended battery. My guess is that you probably tried to save a couple bucks, and ended up with the cheaper item that didn't include the cover

The problem is that you can't read or don't want to look at the pictures I have posted in this thread. I got the extended battery replacement cover with the extended battery but it will not fit on the TILT. I was able to use that extended battery cover to carry two standard size batteries with the phone.
Just received battery - it fits perfectly, maybe its a bit smaller.. Haven't still tested out - because it has to be charged for 10 hours, before use..
Like aztilt I got the wrong battery/cover combination from that ebay seller (ukhitech). They offered a full refund (except shipping I guess) if I send the items back but I am a bit confused why they seem to send out the right battery/cover combination to some people but not to others. I bought my battery in May and didn't know then it wouldn't fit since I bought my AT&T Tilt later on.
The battery I got was 13mm thick and for P4550 Kaiser and the cover had a small hole for the camera so it was not the cover that can be seen in the auction picture.
I am curious to know how thick is the battery you have kpcz? And how does the cover look (large or small camera hole)? And you have an original HTC Tytn II and not a AT&T Tilt, is that correct? (Not sure it matters)
Well as the title suggests im looking for the BIGGEST Batteries for the Sprint Mogul AKA HTC Titan...
Im looking for the biggest standard size (aka no extended door needed!) AND im also looking ror the biggest extended size... one will be for office/meetings the other will be for home/long trips!
The biggest standard i have found searching the forum/google (with LIVE links) is 1650mah and the biggest extended size i have found (again with only LIVE links) is 3200mah
HOWEVER I have found old dead links of ones that do 1800/1850/1900/1950 in standard size... nothing extra special for extended size however..
Anyone got any clues and or wanna throw me a life-line on this one before i take the plunge (i mean comeon... 1650mah is NOT really that much of a boost from stock 1500mah...)!!!
THANKS!

I personally snagged a cheap 2800mAh off Ebay ($18 shipped) for my main battery.
But anyways
Seidio 3500mAh Extended Battery with Door for Sprint Mogul - $69.95 @ http://www.moguldepot.com/seidio-3500mah-extended-battery-with-door/8A37A3718.htm
I think I recall seeing a 3600mAh somewhere, but I'd have to look more.
damn... 3500mah i was just looking at seidio's site... and thats what i meant in the first post... not 3200mah... damnit..
anyway.. while im looking at seidio's extended battery (more because they offer a case that fits the extended battery as well) i need a bigger standard size battery more... i use my phone so much at work i have to charge it at lunch... and it wouldn't look professional with that ugly extended batt...
thx tho...
Hey Kane my wife's Mogul original battery would barely last 7 to 8 hours with her heavy use. I got her the Seidio 3500 MAH battery. Now with her extended uses she can almost go 3 days with out charging! I also got her the rubberized case. I can also say if you have the normal rubberized case with the belt clip it will fit with the extended battery. I am about to get a 3500 battery for me as my Mogul barely last 7 hours with my use and I have to a cigarette adapter to recharge during the day, using blue tooth drains the batteries a lot too. I sent Seidio a Email as I noticed that the normal cases are colored. (Red, Blue and black!). They have not answered my Email yet. I'll call them in several days to see if the colors are available. I am sold on the larger battery. Yes it big and is heavy but well worth it. So I can watch more of my sling box and run the internet as much as I want to and run my blue too ear piece. I have 3 Emails accounts polling every 15 minutes for work so it keeps my phone filled with Emails.
Chuck
Not let down by the big battery!
haha.... im going to be getting the 3500mah batt and the extended case they have as well...
BUT im still looking for that 1850mah or 1900mah or 1950mah battery that i read about before i had my mogul... that DOESNT require the extended parts...
my co-worker has a mogul as well with the extended battery and it looks bulky as all hell when he pulls it out during a meeting... definitely do not want for work... home yes... work no..
I found this in the accessories section
Hopefully the link works http://www.mugenpowerbatterijen.nl/
The one you want is the HLI-6800 which is an 1800 standard size battery, I'd be interested if there was a bigger battery but in the standard size.
That mugenpower battery is the biggest I've heard of at 1800. From what I read it give you a nice boost in battery life, but don't expect miracles. It's about 20% higher capacity and hence gives you about a 20% increase in battery life. I'll be getting one eventually.
Mugen 3600mAh
Google these words:
Mogul 3600mah
You'll find the battery I use, a 3600mAh by Mugen Power. I've just finished my first 6 days with it. Its capacity seems to grow each day as it breaks in; for my usage pattern, it now drops an average of 3.5 percent per hour of use.
I've ordered the Seido rubber case that's designed for Seido's extended battery. Seido claims the case is for their extended battery only, but I don't believe it.
I have the Seidio 3500mAh Extended Battery in my xv6800......Its a monster.....I only go from 100% to 89% in a 12 hr period. Maybe even longer
This may not be a solution for you but for some uses its an inexpensive. Digital has a USB battery pack that holds 4 AA batteries ( rechargeable work fine ). It comes with a correct mini USB connector on a self retracting roll up coil and a standard usb male connector on the other end. The connector on the battery pack is a standard female USB. It has an on/off switch as well. Price: $9.99 @ WalMart not including batteries.

It sounds as though the Seido 3500 may well outlast my Mugen 3600. with my stock battery (1500mAh), my remaining capacity drops by an average of 5.5 to 6.5 percent per hour. With my Mugen 3600, it drops by about 3.5 percent per hour. That's not even double the 1500's capacity. However, my results are not scientific: I wouldn't be surprised if I use my 6800 more heavily when I know the Mugen will carry me through the day.
And I have two pieces of good news about hardware that works with the Mugen:
The Seido rubberized hard case for use with the Seido 3500mah batteyr will fit the Mugen...IF you remove the Mugen battery door. The Mugen door is worthless anyway; the latch won't latch.
The Mugen fits and charges perfectly in an aftermarket charger designed to charge an oversize 6800 battery outside of its case. I don't have photos handy, but the charger has three blue LEDs and charges at 450mA. I bought it on U.S. eBay for about $18 shipped.
Can you please post a link to the aftermarket charger?
is this meant to mean that the battery must be out of the phone to charge? I'm looking for a charger/cradle that will let me put the extended battery still IN the phone.
I've found a cradle, charges extra battery but not the mogul with the extended battery still in the phone.
I don't think having the battery out of the phone is useful if I need to use the phone as well or get a phone call.
external desktop charger....and a 3400mAh external battery
You're right, the battery must be OUT of the phone to be charged. I like this option because there are days when I forget to charge my 3600mAh battery and must use my stock 1500mah battery instead. With my DESKTOP CHARGER FOR HTC SPRINT MOGUL EXTENDED BATTERY (the words to the eBay link, which may now be expired), my 3600mAh battery can be charging while I'm using my 1500mAh.
The eBay listing was titled DESKTOP CHARGER FOR HTC SPRINT MOGUL EXTENDED BATTERY. The seller was perfectsell.
I just found another interesting option on eBay, titled NEW EXTERNAL EXTENDED BATTERY CHARGER FOR MOGUL 6800 . Sold by ebay seller nakedcellphone, it's a battery that connects to your 6800 via a USB cable. Personally, I'd find it awkward to use. I can see using it to charge my internal battery....but then, I'd rather just buy another battery.
In any event, Seido claims that its dock/cradle was specifically designed to accommodate a 6800 with a Seido 3500mAh battery installed.
3400mAh external battery
Aha: The 3400mAh battery is made by JavoEdge.
Anything bigger than 1650 in the STANDARD size got way too hot and was discontinued. 1650 is the biggest you will be able to find without going to the extended size with a custom backing.
NOOO SO GAY!!!
I wanted bigger then 1650 for standard size.. i was hoping for 1800mah or 1850 even... idgaf if it overheats... (thats what a charging cradle is for... that and one of 13 hardware mods... -kisses dremel- )

Nevermind, apparently the cradle isn't even offered any more. Nice page, confusing AND misleading.
On the ebay site, they ONLY show pictures of iPhones, not really relevant nor is it anything new, it's a USB cable. THAT is what they consider an "extended" battery charger.
ROTFLMAO, do you work for the company or is it really as silly as it looks showing off an iPhone when the title on the page reads
NEW EXTERNAL EXTENDED BATTERY CHARGER FOR MOGUL 6800
Wait a second, may not even be an iPhone, definitely NOT a mogul.
Funny stuff, thanks for the laugh.
im gonna necro this as i cant find one of the Seidio battery. as anyone have an online store to sugest me ? Seidio themself are back order...
Hi everybody.
plz someone can help me to find a good battery in ebay for my kaiser?
I read about some batteries with high mA capacity but the same performance than the original battery, and some vendors and very bad quality batteries.
so I'm a little bit confused, I want a battery with better performance than the original, but with the same size (of preference) or not too big.
if someone can tell me about a good vendor and his best battery model I would be been thankful with him
PS: plz don't burn me by open this topic so vitiated.
Ps2: sorry about my english
I'm using this battery which is technically twice the capacity here:
http://www.superetrader.co.uk/htc-t...lacement-extended-battery-2700mah-p-3052.html
It comes with a new back casing because as you would expect it is literally twice the width of the original battery so it sticks out at the back. I haven't had any problem with the quality of the battery, but the casing does feel a little bit cheaper than the original.
This one comes with 12 months warranty, which you are unlikely to get on Ebay so bare that in mind when you do your purchase.

Technically, yes...but in normal use, does it actually work? Does the battery work longer?
ive used an incredibly similar style of battery for an older htc phone. I used a battery with twice the mah but didnt quite get twice the life. dont get me wrong, did the job at increasing the life pretty well and u get used to it sticking out a bit on the back
ps, if yer using a tight carry case then it may not fit in with an upgraded battery

that is exactly my question. in this case, which battery is better in weight/size/mAh/performance?
Im using the 1600 mah from www.seidio.com. Barely adds any weight compaired to OEM. Batt life for me is extended about 4-5 hrs. On OEM, with normal usage, I am down to 30% by 10pm (I charge overnight 12am-5am). With the 1600, I am about 45% at 10pm.
All my products from Seidio have been solid. I would stray away from batteries bought from ebay. I got lame ones several times when buying batts for other phones, cameras and devices.
I forgot to add that the 1600 does not need the extended back cover. It is the same dimensions of the OEM. Also the 1600's weight is, if anything less then the OEM. The metal bars/frame on the OEM battery is not there on the 1600. Some say that the metal bars are for reception. So far I have not noticed any reception decrease nor interference difference.

Why do you think that? Have you compared it to the other extended batteries (including the cheap ones on eBay)? As far as I can see, they're all pretty much the same.
As far as I understand, all the extended batteries have the problem where the Kaiser incorrectly reports the capacity and shuts off when they're half full.
Have you seen this post? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2097942&postcount=48
FWIW:
We have few older htc phones at home (ipaqs, tytn1, tytn2).
I bought extended batteries for ipaqs in the past - original from HP's store, and 2600mAh and 2400mAh "generics" from ebay.
Contrary to what I've been "warned" by some people, there was no problems whatsoever with any of the "generic" batteries - they didn't explode didn't damage my phones, nor didn't malfunction prematurely either.
The 2600mAh made in China lasted me 1yr 3mths before it started to act up, the 2400mAh Taiwan-make still works (its been 1yr 5mths now) - and both are no-brand cheap batteries from ebay, and the HP's expensive extended batt (IIRC it is mere 1800mAh only) still works too (almost 2yrs now).
The only problem I had with the extended batteries were their replacement back covers.
Except for HP's original one (of course) which came with 2 extra covers, the "generics" came with really shoddy and crappy covers, the China-make one was the worst: it was slightly out-of-specs, and it always felt somewhat loose (no, it never felt off nor unlatched itself but it had this "loose" feeling always, you could physically feel it moving a bit up and down when holding the phone, not much - maybe half a millimeter - but it was there).
The other Taiwan make battery's cover was perfect in its dimensions (no "loose" feeling) but then its color was few shades off of the original color... not really important detail (specially when you pay 3x less than for the "original") but I thought I should mention it too.
I have just ordered Mugen extended battery for my TyTN II.
When it arrives - and I won't forget - I'll post here about it.
****, I am really confused now
thanks justdave by the advise.
just get a ebay cheapo
http://cgi.ebay.com/EXTENDED-LIFE-B...ryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
this is what I ordered. from this seller. battery cover fits perfectly. no wiggle. battery lasts all day without worry with heavy usage. talk, email push, web, im on it all day.
It does not report the battery meters correctly as with all extended batteries as noted. but this battery at 23 bucks shipped is the so much cheaper and I am betting the exact same cells as a seidio or muggen battery. they are all made in china anyways.
An alternative may be an external USB power pack. I use one of these and top up when my battery is going low. Saves the hassle of a larger phone, and all i need is a standard mini usb cable
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=2725&t_mode=des
I am also using the seidio extended life 1600ma battery, i used to charge my phone every night because id be down to like 20% after a day of use, now with the 1600 i go 2 days of use and charge it the 2nd night almost always. Also you retain the original battery cover. I dont know about you guys but this phone is dookie enough as is, i dont need a big battery that requires a new cover and makes my phone another 1/4 inch thicker. seidios a good buy imo, little pricey but ive been happy with its performance.
Extended Batteries
I have an Electrospan by Boxwave @ 2600mah and a Mugen 3000mah. Yes, I think the Mugen might be a little better, but what is interesting is the batteries are exactly the same size although the back covers are different. They do make the device thicker, but it still fits in most horizontal leather cases I have tried. Boxwave also sells an external battery pack that takes 4 AA batteries. The key is to minimize battery drain in the first place. If your data like connects to 3G, battery life goes away quickly vs. edge or GPRS. You can restrict this by using Bandswitch # www.commmgrpro.com (10 euros). Voice calls, screen brightness and push email can also contribute significantly to drain.
Hi everybody,
I need an extended battery, and these are the only two that seem to fit the bill. I have searched the net extensively, and they seem to be very similar units. Please feel free to correct me on this.
My main question is, do either of the battery doors that ship with these units provide cover for the camera lens the way the stock battery door does? I would like to purchase a battery that comes with battery door protection for the camera. If neither of them do I may need to do some modding.
I look forward to your input, suggestions, and perhaps a bit of experience positive or negative that you've had with either unit. Thanks guys.
I have a mugen 3000mah for 2-3 months and works very nice for me and I have no problems related by other users... but many users have different problems with this battery (charging/discharging, reporting the battery usage etc.) ...see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358348&page=5 especially post #48 page 5
I have the Seido 3200 battery for about a month. It has a nice rubberized extended back that it comes with. The only real issue is the way that the PDA does not accurately report the amount of charge it has. I can run it all the way down off of a full charge (Charged until the light goes green), pull it out of the phone and then put it back in. It will then show about 40-50 percent charge still remaining. So you get the power, but with the inconvienence of having to pull the battery out. Not to mention that it is substantially thicker than the original. There is a thread somewhere in this forum about this problem, and that it happens with any non-oem battery. I haven't decided if it's better this way, or to just charge the oem battery more frequently.
Yeah the incorrect readings are a pain I would guess. I have not gotten an extended battery for my Tilt yet.
Another issue I am worried about is the back cover. I had a Tmobile Wing with extended battery and noticed that the cover clips broke and the cover was loose and it made it a pain in the rear. Are there any issues with this on the Tilt/Kaiser? I would hate to get an extended battery and it ended up breaking the support clips on the phone that hold the cover in place. I know the clips on the Kaiser are much better than the cheap ones the wing had.
Well, the back cover on the Seido 3200 is much thicker and sturdier than the one I had for my 8525. And it is the same depth all the way across which makes it much nicer to hold landscape, when you are typing. It seems pretty sturdy, and the clips lock in place well. Maybe it's because the shape is a uniform depth all the way across. All in all, I like the back and the battery performance. With the exception of the incorrect battery meter, and having to pop it out and reinstall it to get the full charge out of it. Whether the clips will hold up with constantly removing the back to get at the battery, only time will tell. I have it about a month.
I order my Seidio 3200 today for my lovely tricked out Tilt and it will be here Friday. I will let you know if it sucks or not on Saturday or Sunday.
I said I would check back in.
The back is thicker, to be expected. I did not expect the cover to be so easy to knock off. It comes off too easy. Also, to find a proper phone case is a real challenge. It is a real challenge. I am glad I have it because the capacity is great but it is too annoying. I will keep it but will only use it when I must. As mentioned by some one else, when the battery gets low, like 40%, just remove it and reinstall it. The % jumps up to 70 or 80%.
The two of the support clips broke off on mine a while ago. They're EXTREMELY flimsy! After that, it wants to come right off the phone at the slightest brush against it. To date, there hasn't been any company that has made a decent case that accommodates this extended battery. I guess we're too small of a minority to matter?
Does anyone know of any type of "fix" other than removing the larger batteries on the Tilt/Kaiser to get it to recognize the larger batteries?
