Re: 2 batteries & external charger for $10!

I'm not sure what's going on, but I received my batteries yesterday, and charged the two new ones and OEM battery (all in the battery charger for the most part). Today I brought all three batteries to work. Within two hours the first one was at 18%. I replaced it, but not before realizing that 4g was "searching". Then, 5 hours later the second battery was at 9%. I replaced it and now it's 6 hours later and by battery is at 15%. I'm not sure what's going on with these batteries, but this isn't a good sign.

Mind you, this is under minor usage... an hour of music, half hour of phone, and 2 hours of misc.

Good luck; mine took about 9 or 10 days cause it came directly from China.

I got one and a charger for my TP2 which I will now be using for my Evo, they took about a month to get here and my TP 2 did get kind of hot one time, I need to try it again.

Now I need to invest in some good micro usb cables! The micro to mini adapters I have don't work and the 2 cheap micro usb cables I have will charge for like 2 seconds then quit!

i got the same issue with the cables i bought from riteav.com

Re: 2 batteries & external charger for $10!

the new batts work just as well as OEM for me...

Re: 2 batteries & external charger for $10!

Well after a couple days with this batteries, I definitely feel that the stock evo battery lasted a couple hours longer. But I think its still good since they were just $10. Will last me long enough for me to get home and just replace it with the other one.

Re: 2 batteries & external charger for $10!

Yeah, these batteries (or the charger) are not working very well for me... I think the charger might have screwed up my stock evo battery as well... I am going through 3 batteries a day now, and I don't use it very much. Earlier today I was losing 2% battery life per minute while using the internet! "Batterytime Lite" claims I should get nearly 3 hours of juice using the internet; at that rate I was getting 50 minutes.

I wish I could know what the problem is because this is rediculous.

received this in the mail yesterday!
I took one of the batteries that it came with and put it into the charger, it only took about 2-3 hours to charge.
It is in my phone now and seems to be just like the stock one.
One the outside of these it says "spare HTC Touch Pro 2 battery", these are the exact same mAh (1500) as the TP2's, so there shouldn't be any issues.

The charger nor battery got hot when it was done charging.
While charging there is a purple-ish light that is on, then when it's done that light turns green.

you will notice the batteries are different, The red one is the stock htc evo battery and the white/black one of the 2 that I bought.

charging unit, notice it isn't 1A, so it takes just a tad longer than the stock charger but no biggie!:

Thanks for the heads up! Got 10 hours of heavy use today with one of these batteries, which is really all I need for a spare.

Re: 2 batteries & external charger for $10!

does the tp2/hero use the same battery as the evo?
