HTC Desire HD replacement battery

Jono · 28 Aug 2012 at 11:55

Hi,

My battery in my Desire HD lasts approx 1 hour, if I use the thing for anything. When I first got it I'm sure I could get 6 hours of it with heavy use.

Where can I buy a couple of replacement batteries for it, and would that solve the problem?

Or is my phone just terrible and I should just upgrade it to something else. If so, what?

Worth a shot - cheaper than grabbing a new phone at least if you're happy with it too.

yeah im in the same situation m8, was looking on the bay at some of the higher mhA bats

Well, I've ordered 2 of the genuine ones... if they are genuine, but at 6 pounds each, I thought it might be worth a gamble.

Really you can get other batts for £6 thats a bargain?

I only upgraded today to the One S but my old Desire HD is still a great phone might look to sell it on.

Yeah - from Ebay... will let you know how i get on

They probably aren't genuine, near impossible to find real phone parts on eBay. But they should be close to the capacity of the original.

I've had my DHD for 1.5 years, currently it lasts me a day with about 1-1.5 hours of screen on time. I think you may need a new battery.
