Extended batteries and/or double battery chargers? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories

Gotten a liking for MSN Messenger on the Exec, but it's a battery hog. Looking for a decent larger capacity battery, or a charger that can charge the device PLUS a second standard battery.
I've trawled through the threads and don't see much, but that could just be me!
What is the definitive answer for those hoping to get a DECENT days work out of this device...?

No-one? Damn.

Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=34638
It is found a few post down.

Had already posted on that thread, but don't see a "decent larger capacity battery, or a charger that can charge the device PLUS a second standard battery" that I can actually buy. Cheers anyhow.

Here is a link for a battery for the EXEC: http://www.batteryupgrade.com/ You have to choose for what type of PDA, brand , and type of phone.
It is the same as the original though. I don't think there is an extended battery nor charger available yet. But this will give you an extra battery for the moment. The only draw back is, you have to use the actual device as the charger too.

Couple of suggestions
This ones an external battery 3600mAH -http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=3131
This goes inside BUT needs a new rear panel with a power bulge - 300mAH though -
http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=2978
Both of these items are reportedly not available as of now but on their way (end of Feb 2006) but the following is - its a slightly more powerful 1750mAH replacement -
http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=2230
Just for the record I am nothing to do with the company selling these apart from having bought items from them in the past!
Hope this helps!

I'd love a pic of that when it's inside the JASJAR....
EDIT: $200???? Maybe not.
EDIT 2: When we gonna see a proper double battery or 2nd battery + JASJAR charger?

http://www.lionbattery.com/description.php?noproduit=324
This battery still hasnt become available. The site says it should have been available 1st March. Any ideas?

Cheap!!!! Check this out! But the rear cover doesn't come in black though!?
http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-O2-XDA-...701841912QQcategoryZ75446QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

200 $ ? They are crazy....
But it really look sweet.

and comes the extended battery?!

While my jasjar is walking through the graveyard, seeking a way-out, with its lcd leaking like crazy, I was checking out the accessories at eBay.
There are extended batteries listed on eBay.
Search text:::
* jasjar extended battery
* jasjar spare battery
They mention:
*Rechargeable and removable power
*Xda Exec/T-Mobile Mda Pro/i-mate Jasjar/Qtek 9000/Orange spv m5000 series compatibility
*Extended 3000 mAh
*Easy installation
*CE APPROVED
About ~27 pounds each (battery & extended backcover).
So it looks like it will be a whopping 1620->3000mah jump... almost double the charge capacity
Any comments on these items? Has anyone tried them already?
- Matt
I have one of the 3000mA ones. Works fine. Adds bulk to the unit though.
I also have the 3000mah thicker battery with battery cover..and I must say that I'm quite impressed with it so far. It obviously does add to the size but as I dont usually carry my exec in any type of case it doesnt bother me, however I do use a screen protector as I keep the unit in protrait mode normally.
Definatly worth it if you can handle the extra thickness.

Buying Battery via....
Hi all.
I found this website.
http://www.batteryupgrade.com/quickstart.php?keyword=o2&gclid=CISswqDchIQCFRVrDgodeDn3jw
I think, we can buy Extra Battery for Universal from this Net Shop.
But I didn't try it yet.
How do you think, is it Reliable?
Thanks for the link.
Here is a direct one: http://www.batteryupgrade.com/produ...98&PHPSESSID=2eb7a0b635fbf964f5d5e31df30bec6e
But there was no picture nor mention of any added cover.
Cap?
It is written "imate JASJAR Cap Battery"
What is "Cap" means?
Is it possible about Battery cover or some other?

I have an O2 Exec and it would look weird if I had the I-Mate back cover. Plus this has more capacity. Anyone have this yet from Mugen Power?
Do you know some device to charge the battery of the jasjar without to be into the pda, I mean directly

Sorry, up to now I have not seen nor come accross anything about a battery charger for our Universals.
I'm interested to purchase an extended battery but I would like to purchase in the some place where some of you made. Could you tell us where did you purchase ?

Yes, too much. It's the price of another phone. But nothing can beat the 4800 capacity especially for long trips, and the back cover matching my O2 Exec.
Bought mine from here

CHEAP!
Imagine putting 4 2500MaH rechargable batteries in it = 10.000 Mah extened Battery + charger.
Connect it when you don't use it, and you always have a full Universal to use.
Also you can buy the batteries in every store in case you need it.
Thank you for your email.
Take a look in this information. It is really interesting but I have not information about quality or security on purchase, do you know this shop?
The following batteries are also suitabel for the iMate Jasjar:
1750 mAh
(http://www.batteryupgrade.com/product_detail.php?productId=28712338 )
3150 mAh
(http://www.batteryupgrade.com/product_detail.php?productId=26539598 )
(the second battery is slightly larger that the original, but comes with an
extended cover which fits your PDA).
i just received a 3800mAh expanded battery from expandsys. ii wanted a 4800, but i didn'tthink it would fit any of the cases i have around, this barely makes it. it's black, and the cover and battery and intergrated together. it's very nice, even thought my PDA unit is silver it give it the two tone that matches the speaker. oddly they don't seem to offer it anymore; the total. price was 91.95 including tax. and shipping.

Best Battery for prophet

Looks like my main battery for O2 XDA NEO is dying, maybe WM6 is eating more of my battery power. Now I want to get a replacement battery. Besides the factory type isnt there a newer version and holds more charge too? Not sure about reliability, if anyone can share some of their experinces will be great.
i dont know however i saw i nice battery on ebay with 1800mah!

Batteries with Extanded Covers ... THEY SUCKS!
The Cover is crap!
The 1800mAh isnt easy to find ... i think its the best Batterie in the moment. If HTC make a extanded batterie kit ... buy it! I have a Startrek with new Coverer and the Quality is very high!
Do you have a link or a pic of the battery? why the extanded covers sucks can you explain that?

you destroy your phone's beauty and also many times the covers are not exactly the same color but enough in order to see the differece also many times they dont completly fit
true ... true
My friends and I are using the 1800mAh batteries from this seller http://search.stores.ebay.com.au/SO...dgetsQQfsooZ2QQfsopZ2QQsaselZ30323434QQsofpZ0
Comparing to my one year old 1200mAh original battery the results were obvious. I could get more than 90 hours of standby with a few mins of call each day. Something I couldn't have thought of with a PocketPC phone.
It's been about 5 months since my purchase, the battery is still good. I heard from others that non-genuine battery tend to have shortened lifespan in just a few months.
Only about 3 to 5 grams heavier and 1mm thicker (which leaves no space between the back cover and the battery) if you do notice these minute differences. It's crucial that the battery won't make your Prophet any thicker!
My only complain was, if you asked, that it took almost a week for the delivery. Otherwise I'm happy with it.

Maybe WM6 has some bug that is draining your battery so much. I have 1200mA battery and it works 4-5 days before recharging.
I don't know, but the best one out there is 1300 i find on eBay... or does Battery for Dopod 818 fit?

For everyone that's looking for an extra battery, look at http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.6398
only $5 with free shipping world wide

Th 2400 is one with a modded case.
Just ordered 2 battery's @t dealextreme
just took delivery of one of the dealextreme batteries, put it in and no sign that it is charging - battery monitor says "unknown", no orange light or % charge shown. Is it dud or do I have to wait a few hours......?
update, I have 2 of these 1800mah batteries and each behaving same - they don't appear to be charging. Any wise words?
@roughneck57 : sorry to hear.. especially after purchasing 2. does the battery heat up at all?
i ordered one.. and i'm still waiting for it to arrive. now i'm worried.
have you contacted extremedeals, how are they handling it ?
best of wishes,
~ truffles
so far, can't complain as they appear to be sending replacements - and i asked them to check before sending - see below second email I have received regarding the matter:
Thank you for contacting DealExtreme.com Customer Support.
We will make sure the qulity before we send it.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions.
Best regards,
Tiffany
DealExtreme.com Customer Support
forgot to say, battery is not heating up at all - I left it on charge for 3 or 4 hours last night and nothing - however, residual charge is actually powering the PDA so there is life in there. Must be the chip that reports on battery condition and charge etc.
Also, I have tried both in 3 different PDA (m600's) and same problem. One phone has an 1800mah battery purchased from ebay and that looks exactly the same but works fine - so it's not as if the PDA can't handle non-standard size.
Hope this helps.

Getting a new battery for your Universal - a guide

I've just purchased my THIRD extended battery for my MDA PRO, and I have learned quite a lot over the past few years so I will share some of this information with you, in the form of a buyer's guide to getting a new battery for your HTC Universal.
Types
There are THREE different physical types of replacement battery (PU16A) available for the HTC Universal. These are:
Standard (original) type battery. These are the same size as the battery that came with your Universal when you originally purchased it, so they do not increase the size or weight of your device and do not need a new back cover. They vary in rated capacity from 1600 to 1750mAh, and are the cheapest to buy.
Extended battery. There are 3 or 4 different brands of this type floating around, and they vary in rated capacity from 3150 to 3800mAh. At the moment the 3150mAh 'Cameron Sino' brand is by far the most widely available on eBay. These are also cheap, and actually offer the best price/mAh rating of all (bang for buck). These also significantly increase the size and weight of your device, and they require a new back cover (which should always be included when you buy the battery).
Ultra extended battery. There are 3 different brands of this type: The 4800mAh 'Cameron Sino' which is the cheapest, the 5000mAh Worcell which is a LOT more expensive, and at the very top we have the 5200mAh Mugen which is VERY expensive indeed. This type of battery increases the size and weight of your device even further, and includes a new back cover which is larger than the one found on 3xxx mAh batteries (although in my opinion it does look better!).
My main point is that within each type, the various different brands of battery are all physically identical, that means they have exactly the same components as each other. It is possible that they may have been made in different factories, eg. some in Japan and some in China, although to be honest I doubt this as it just does not make financial sense to produce this product in anywhere other than 1 factory.
Quality issues
The first 3200mAh battery I purchased was faulty, my phone just displayed a red light and refused to boot no matter what I did. The replacement was fine however, and I have been using it until today as my new 4800mAh battery has just arrived
Reading through these forums, it seems that quite a few people have experienced the "red light" issue on new batteries purchased from eBay sellers in Hong Kong. This is not common at all, but there is a small risk that it can happen.
In my opinion though, the massive amount of money you can save by purchasing the battery from eBay is more than worth this risk (all sellers should replace faulty batteries anyway). The 5200mAh Mugen battery for example is nearly five times more expensive than a Cameron Sino 4800mAh from eBay, and this is close to the actual cost of an entire second hand HTC Universal! So from the Ultra category I think only the 4800mAh battery is good value, the 5000 and 5200 models are just FAR too expensive for such little extra benefit - which you are highly unlikely to notice anyway.
Coming soon: Photographs of the 3 different types of battery that are available.
thanks for the tip man
I just ordrered 5200 one from Murgen, hoping to review it soon
original battery
Hi
can someone tell me where to buy the original 1620mAh battery for my o2 exec?
Thanks

Sorry for my first post on this board to be a whinge, but I've found the post extremely useful until I realised it doesn't quite make sense. Are the 4800/5000/5200's the same or different?
Not trying to be picky, but I would actually love to know as I've recently got a 2nd hand universal, and my battery is dying before I get back home from work. This thread seems like it has a lot of info which will be very useful/interesting to me, once it's cleared up.
They are not the same, 4800mah is cheapest and pretty massive and deliveres best bang for the buck performance... 5000 and 5200 models are much expencive and delivers not too much better performance than 4800mAh model...
Building battery for Uni
There is also a possibility to build your own battery for Uni and this hand-made battery is very useful where you don't find the battery for your device....like me.
There is no battery available in my country for Uni and I've built the battery for my device last year, which is still working great.
Tomal: That sounds very interesting, what is the battery life like? And what chemistry is it, Lithium Ion, Lithium Ion Polymer or something else?
Could you take a few pictures? I would love to see it!

Welcome to the forum
Please READ the Wiki, there is a section of battery problems
Good luck
What does one have to do AFTER getting a new battery? Do we need to fully charge it, or fully discharge it? Please let me now as my battery arrives on wednesday.
I made a fully discharge then fully charge, but the problem continues.
Maybe the new battery isn't that new as the seller claims???

Battery case.

Found this and thought I'd share,

Plenty of other things on the site but I do remember people enquiring about such a product. May get one myself

That looks scary similar to the Mophie Juicepack Air case for iPhone.
I'd be concerned about the quality, though, especially at that price. And there's no way you'll find a review on that.

Thanks +
been waiting for something like this
but with 3000mAh or more,
Im sure there will be more soon
I have similar but for my Note & better
cos mine is slimmer & doesnt have that Snap top
so can pull it out faster & is slim on the top
& it claims 3000mAh battery on it
but gives me only 70% of refill charge
Note has 2500 & case 3000 still doesnt give one full charge
yours has 2200mAh battery & S3 has 2100mAh on it
wonder how much more juice it will give
Also the lights on bottom get anoying aftre a while
wish it was behind the case
True that, but might get one anyway, as I also have an external power pack and a replaceable battery.
But never thought of those things, thanks for the input
Edit:
thought what the heck and bought one, doesn't exactly cost much. When I get it ( in about two weeks! ) I'll do a little review on it like how much of the battery it can charge etc.
Was thinking about the capacity but I wouldn't want anything much bigger than that tbh

I've just ordered a powerpack with 3200mAh from ebay, (not allowed to post links yet) for the galaxy s3. if you want to have a look at it, search ebay.co.uk for "3200mAh Extra Power Backup Extended Battery Case 4 Samsung Galaxy S3 SIII i9300"
I'll run some test once it arrives (10-25 days delivery)

yeah that's the one. i've seen multiple ways to do these kinds of tests. any recommendations to get the bests results?
Other than turning on airplane mode(to avoid having unknown variables) and having a HD video clip on repeat.

What i did was drain the full Battery
then charge it with Power case
& see it charges the phone how much, 60/70/80%
On my Note it was just 60/70% not a full charge
I'll never understand why people go this route instead of just carrying a spare battery. It makes your phone look like the hunchback of notre dame.

hahhahha
nice one
Recieved one on the 2200mAh cases yesterday (Power Bank).
(link: h**p://***.ebay.co.uk/itm/2200mAh-Backup-Battery-Charger-Power-Bank-Case-Cover-For-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-I9300-/280916343518?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4167eb3ade)
Charged it up (came about 2/3 full) and then let my S3 run down to flat (quite hard now I'm getting 20 to 22 hours out of it).
Started charging and it got to about 50% in 3 hours before it ran out..
Considering the phone was on and, based on previous discharge rates, was using about 5% an hour, the total charge was about 65% (if i'm being generous).
65% of an S3 battery @ 2100mAh = 1365mAh.....
Not too bothered at the cost (or size - S3 is way too thin as standard for my liking), but was hoping for a lot more from it..... For the bulk it adds, and the fact that you can't sync or charge the phone while the case is on, is a big negative for me....
Maybe my hopes were too high having come from iPhone battery cases which almost lived up to their advertised power ratings as well as allowing you to charge case & phone at the same time and sync through the case....
Just thought I'd share my findings...
Hope it helps others looking for a similar case.
I like the heftier size of the phone after fitting the extended battery, fits my hands much better. I hope that they come up with a flipcase though because obviously the original won't fit anymore. I don't understand people who just buy a case for the back because you can buy another back very easily. The front however is a different question. If you don't protect the glass, it will scratch and can even shatter when you drop the phone.
As often as I am checking/using my phone, it's not worth it to me to get a flip case. I would go mad having to flip it open countless times an hour. A good back case will also (albeit slightly) protect the front

Any reviews from xda user about TVC mall Mobile charger?

Any recommendation for pocketable battery pack?

I am looking for a credit card size battery pack that I can put inside my wallet. There was one called the Jumper Card from Indiegogo (Linky). Unfortunately, the project was cancelled and no longer available.
Any other recommendation?
I don't want a large battery pack since it's too big to put in pocket, not to mention too heavy. I just need a small charger that can provide emergency top-up for 10-20% of the battery life.
I think you'd like this one

Here are a few others

i got this one on my key chain with my car key

Thanks for the info guys. These have more power than the jumper card, so it's bigger to and won't fit my wallet. :'( .
PS: when I had my S4, I carry a spare battery in my wallet because it's small enough.
Thigh I like the keychain one from Mophie.

How's this working out for you? The Amazon reviews are horrible..1.5 stars.
It work fine. You just have to make sure it's charged up though, as there are time that the indicator show that the battery is charged but it was really only partially charged. Just make sure to plug it in maybe once a week to keep it topped off.

I have this one and I like it: http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Ultra-Slim-Built-In-Cable-ThunderBolt-Blackberry/dp/B00CEZJT2E
There are a ton of other ones though; for me, the importance is that it comes with built-in charging cable.

I used to do this with my s2. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything in the years since that will do this.

Did you try Qcell external battery? or Zerolemon?
Just got myself this with this battery charged my empty nexus 5 at 6% battery to full in about an hour. maybe a bit less or a bit more I did not really track it. However works for me well. the other reason I got this is the battery fits my ST Cycler jetbeam flashlight. Just haring in case it might work for someone as well. The solution is not very ergonomic though, maybe.
Check out this zerolemon battery case

Zerolemon batter case is HUGEEE nexus is already a sizable device
how would you rate its performance against standard batterypack from leading competitors?
i have used both qcell and 5star america battery packs..
both are great products i would go with either of these 2
much better solution:
RAVPower Wireless Charging Pad with Built-in 4800mAh External Battery with magnetic tape 3M on it. Or perhaps another magnets. Or VELCRO Brand Sticky Back Fasteners
Will post the pictures when will get it.
I posted this in the other thread, but I'll post it here too. I found this on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GU589GG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I ordered it and should be coming in on Thursday. For anyone interested I will make a separate thread reviewing it. I really like the low price but we'll see how it actually performs. It apparently has 2,000 mAh.

That looks nice, small and good for mini top ups in an emergency - but the compatability doesn't say nexus 5 - how come?
I just got the battery I ordered, and I wrote an initial review. Check it out if you're interested http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2664684 there are some pictures as well.
