Average result of discharge tests from 4.1V to 3.5V, the devices' cutoffs, at 250mA. Procedures for all batteries idendical, fair and square, so stop whining Mugen.
Data of intrigue Remarks
Mugen 1800mAh vs OEM 1500mAh, both new, head-to-head png/csv Despite Mugen's 20% higher rating and 226% price markup, test results equal though OEM got more Wh.
New OEM 1500mAh vs six month daily used OEM 1500mAh png/csv When used as primary battery, OEM ages 1.3% a month or 7.7% over six months.
Fake OEM #1 and No name #1 png/csv Voltage over amp hours paths congruent, suggests this counterfeit and this no name share manufacturers.
Traffic to this site? About 3304 pageviews plus 16587 views of the data on the XDA forums (N1, TP2).

A word on counterfeits. An article I wrote on fakes. Here's a provocative follow-up. Hmm, sounds familiar. Hey I just bought (and started battery testing) a Nexus One!
What's wrong with this picture? Mugen engineers to me: "These numbers are meaningless." Seidio defeating Mugen in claimed versus actual and in cost per amp hour (see table).
Don't understand everything or want to express your emotions? Good thing we've got a forum for that. HTC's 2150mAh for TP2 clocks in at 2150mAh! What are the odds?
Just cranked out an angry rant about lack of battery juice innovation. I'm looking for a full-time job in NYC so go here to contact me and I'll give you my resume, portfolio and gratitude.

If this data got you excited and you want to vent, go here. Post something while you're there. But please, try to resist spamming, c'mon.

Thank you Radical RC for supplying me with the West Mountain Radio's Computerized Battery Analyzer III. Hope this helps all of you.

If you want to publish any of this data on your own website for commercial purposes (meaning if you're selling something, not if you're recommending a battery to someone in a forum or whatever), do me a favor and ask first. Ahh screw it, just post the data, public domain baby.
