I’m really happy to announce, that i will expect some very interesting – and i’m sure extremely helpfull in daily Life Usage for my beloved HTC Hero! Asian 3rd Party Battery Supplier Mugen Power Batteries has agreed in sending me both Versions of their very succesfully selling Replacement Batteries, to put it through their Paces and perform some Tests on it. Now i know what some of you might think immediately: Yes, we had 3rd Party Batteries before and most of them plain and simple, sucked! I had some before and i can tell from experience that more mAh’s does not neccessarily mean more Power!
With Mugen Batteries it’s different, because Mugen stay true to what they’re saying. Friend of Site Micky, from the highly recommended Nokiausers.net has recently put the same Test on his Nokia N97, using both the 1800 mAh Extended Battery plus the bigger 3600 mAh Battery, which comes with a separated Backdoor, as your Device can’t fit it in with the default Backdoor! I won’t spoil the Results here – if you want to check out how those 2 Beasts performed against the N97′s 1500 mAh default one, check out Nokia N97 Mugen Extended Batteries – Conclusion over at Nokiausers.net!
So whats going down here in the upcoming Days/Weeks?
- My Standard 1350 mAh Hero Battery – not too impressive honestly. With constant online Times, using Mails, Twidroid, often checking Facebook and Newsrob etc, i don’t get much more than 10-12 Hours. And this is with Bluetooth, 3G and Auto Screen Rotation being switched off, just for the Record. This Battery will go head-to-head against:
- The Mugen Power 1550mAh Extended Replacement Battery: 200 mAh doesn’t sound too much extra Power, but if you check out Micky’s Article again, you can see what 300 more mAh can achieve: Nearly DOUBLE as much Go-Time on light/medium Usage and almost 3 times better Performance on heavy Usage. Not enough for you?
- Then the Mugen Power 3200mAh Extended Replacement Battery For HTC Hero (GSM) with included Battery Door should be just right for you! First off, this Battery comes with the Battery Door, cause it simply makes your Device thicker. That much more Power of course needs it’s Space, so this Step is neccessary. I’m not 100% sure yet, but i’m used to bulky Devices, so i’d be happy to have a bit more Phone for the Price of getting a lot more Battery Life – which you DO get, judging from what i’ve read so far! I won’t spoil no Results yet, but the Improvement should be big!
I’m REALLY looking forward to test those Batteries in my Hero and give you some first Hand Reports, about how much better the Performance with those Batteries get. A big THANK YOU goes out to Mugen for agreeing on the Test Batteries and in the Meantime, feel free to check out Mugen’s Shop by hitting the Picture down below!
