Extra Battery which Is compatible w/ Sprint TP!!!

kmehr · #1 (**permalink**) 11-20-2008, 02:15 PM

For those who are looking for an extra battery I purchased a couple from one site and it showed up as unknown in the battery meter also it did not fit.

So I decided to try these guys out at --> http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-Battery-USB-A...713.m153.l1262

The battery fit perfectly and my Sprint TP recognizes the battery as well letting me know how much charge is remaining. On another note, the screen protector did not match (not even close), but I was more interested in the batteries and the charger (one for me another for my wife)

Hope this helps =D>

Keep us posted on how well that battery holds up! Looks like a steal if it's a decent battery.

Sure... right now I am charging the batteries....So I will be using it by the end of the day and I will post sometime tomorrow on the longevity/compatibility with my phone

UPDATE: Looks like I am going to have to put my foot into my mouth. I tried to charge theses batteries but their charger shows the batteries to be fully charged. SO I plug it back into my phone and the darn thing shows up as unknown. I have a battery meter mod installed and when it showed up as 1% I thought that it was compatible but it turns out that they are not. Sorry for the false hope

Thanks for being our Guinea Pig!

I purchased similar auction and the batteries do the same thing... report 1% until your device just powers off, unexpectedly. This undermines the wonderful battery graphics as well as usability in battery life estimation.

(2) Questions:

1. Do these batteries need a jumper of sorts or are they missing a critical electronic component?

2. Does China have any QA (Quality Assurance) at all?

But I guess it goes as said "You get what you pay for..."

how long was the shipping from hong kong?

shipping took about 7 days but unless you are desperate for an extra battery I would recommend waiting till there is one which is truly compatible with our phone

Check the last digits and letter on the battery. I believe from my own research (See post >>>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...8&postcount=56) that our phones need P/N 35H00111-12M.

I'm not really understanding why they would make the phones take different batteries but who knows, maybe your reply with what the p/n is on your battery may prove my logic wrong.

What ever happened to the battery results?

Any one?

What "results"? I can tell you they last just as long as the OE battery and fill the void for me. Sucks to not see how much power is left but it's not a huge deal for it to die... I always have the OE on backup or 3 other 06M's handy.
