HTC Hero Battery Tests – Part 1: Normal Usage
Jan 14th
Some Time ago i thankfully received a Set of Spare Batteries for my HTC Hero from Mugen Power Batteries. I have read Micky’s N97 Battery Tests on Nokiausers prior to my own Tests and was amazed by the Power those Beasts were pumping out. Since the Android OS is not exactly a very power-saving OS, the stock 1350 mAh Battery died away pretty quick under my daily Conditions. I just had to do something about it and Mugen seemed like a very good Option for it. I tried and used 3rd party Batteries in the Past, but almost never got a reliable Solution, most of them were even less powerfull than the original One. So, did Mugen delivered what we are waiting for?
Mugen to bring power up the N900 in February!

Breaking News that i just read on Twitter. After some Rumors, here’s now the official Confirmation that Mugen Power Batteries, the ONLY 3rd party battery manufacturer i trust, will be bringing lots of needed Power to Nokia’s true Flagship in my humble Opinion, the Nokia N900! During my Time with the N900, Battery life has always been an Issue, because seriously Nokia, 12 hours on medium Usage on a 500+ Euro Phone is not only annoying, its plain ridiculous! We are in 2010, you know!?
Anyways, Friend of the Site Micky Aldridge on Nokiausers.net has already tested the extended Battery Options for the N97 and the results were amazing to say the least. I’m also in testing mode, working the 2 Batteries on my HTC Hero and so far i must say, Mugen does not fail to deliver!
“Mugen Power is working on Extended Battery for N900 and will be releasing a 2300-2400mAh battery in February 2010. You can use following rss feed to be updated when the battery is available: N900 RSS.” – as stated on their Website! This is great News for every N900 User and i’m 100% sure you will not be sorry to spend a few Bucks on a great Battery!
Coming up: Mugen Battery Tests!
Nov 20th
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, Read the rest of this entry »
Power for the Masses – The Proporta Turbocharger
Nov 14th
It was back in London at the Ovi Good Things Trip in London, when one of the biggest Letdowns in the past few Years came into Play once again: The poor Battery Life of almost all our beloved Phones! Big Touchscreens, GPS, permanent WLAN/3G Usage for Mails/Gravity etc certainly takes its Toll. In the Case of the N97 with its new Standy Screen Widgets, this Network Usage comes even more into Play – i mean come on, how not funny is it to have Facebook, Twitter etc on the Screen and not updating regularly? How 2005 would that be!? On the Opposite, how much Progress did we get on the Battery Development? Stronger Batteries for more powerfull Devices? None. Absolutely Zero! Nokia was “kind enough” to give us at least the 1500 mAh Battery we know and love from some selected E-Series Devices, but thats pretty much it. Did it last? Not at all. See, i was unplugged the Phone at 3.30 am in the Morning before i flew over to the UK and it lasted till about 4 pm, then the battery was done, and i didn’t even do much except of above mentioned Activities, plus snapping some Pictures /w geotagging. This whole Situation is still a complete Mess and Nokia nor any other Brand doesnt give a Damn about it. So, how can you work against this ongoing Disaster? Read the rest of this entry »
