Has any one tried the 2400+ mAh battery being sold on eBay for our phones? If you want to look it up, it's called Deep Blue High Capacity Replacement battery. Just wondering

Just looked at it, I'd like to know too. That's not a bad price. If anyone can testify for it I might order it.

Do you have a link by any chance? I'd love to slap a bigger battery in this thing. I remember reading something about someone switching to the HOX international battery and poly carbonate body. I don't think any solid information was ever posted though.

EDIT: Found the link. Says its identical to the size of the OEM battery. Expected delivery states it would get here on the 4th of sept. That's a ways away lol. I don't think I could wait that long without knowing if it would actually work. Subscribing to this thread in case anyone takes the plunge.

Keep in mind that generic batteries usually don't have the actual amount of power that they are rated at.

( often a generic that's a few hundred mah higher then stock will be about the same life, or less even)

i assume it'll void the warranty, right?

As soon as you joined xda, you know that warranty was out the window :p That is, if they can PROVE that you tampered with it personally say if you sent them the phone with Cm 10.2, s-off, etc. They would probably laugh and deny it. If its bricked and won't do anything, the warranty is still good as they won't investigate each and every 1000+ phones that come in for repair and 9/10 will just send you a refurb or fix it.

Installing a different battery into the phone and then sending it in for "repair" in the event something goes wrong is definitely a no-no as that's a guaranteed forfeit of your warranty.

I'm anxious to see if this was ever done by the OP. I know the Chinese variants of batteries tend to exaggerate there numbers a bit but if its showed any improvement over the OEM battery, I feel like its worth it to give it a shot.

Chinese battery (by that i mean low quality battery because not all Chinese products are bad) is complete no in my opinion, had very experience with HD2. besides original HOX+ battery with installation is available at $14 at HTC service center in my country.

I remember the thread about that (think I mentioned it earlier) a few weeks/months back. What it the difference in capacity between the two of them? The XL (att) has a 1800 correct? How does that compare to the hox+? And is it a complete "bolt on" so to speak? I understand you have to have the hox+ housing to go along with it as well. Have you done this before?

HTC ONE X+ battery for Our ONE XL

our original is 1800mah, the one X plus is 2100, (it's actually 2040)
so I just installed using instruction from this link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAr4WWbn9Hc
The AT&T screws is different. there's a top panel that covers the camera and upper compartment.
I'll let you guys know if I experience better experience.
I HAD to replace the battery, I can have 50 percent before i sleep and it will die over night. that's horrible (On FACTORY ROM)
So I'll let you know if it's better on stock, and i'll root it later.
YOU SHOULD TRY IT :)
I'm planning to put the One X plus housing on my phone too, I have the white one and it's too slippery, and it's all scratched up.

Extra spare

I always have a couple of batteries for any mobile or any devices which I use.

I wait for Zerolemon to release a battery for this model.

anyone buy this battery yet? i wanna know the development, is it worth it or not?

I got the 2430 mah deep blue high capacity battery on ebay. Been running it for 2 weeks now and no noticeable difference in battery life. Only thing I noticed is the battery gets hot when charging sometimes. Had high hopes for it but maybe I just had higher hopes and it actually is different. Any suggestions on how I should test it so I can compare it to stock? I bought two in case one was DOA cuz I know how a lot of the Chinese products off there are as far as quality goes.

And today I noticed its a lot worse in the cold than the stock battery. I work outside and it's -15 today and the phone keeps resetting. Stock battery didn't have a problem working in the cold.
