I think I have given up on buying batteries from third party companies, including companies with good reputations like Mugen Power.
For my HD7 I purchased the 1500mAh battery from Mugen only to find that it would die out faster than the OEM 1230mAh battery. I wrote to Mugen and they suggested that I exchange the battery for another but even the replacement was no better.
I did follow their charge and discharge instructions to condition the battery from the start but it made no difference. Some people on another board said they generally had good experiences with Mugen batteries and thought I may have got two duds.
After going through that experience, for some reason I thought for my 710 I should try out the Mugen 1800mAh BP-4L battery in case I did previously get bad batteries. Once again I followed their instructions on how to charge the battery the first 5 times but again I found it was no better than the OEM 1300mAh battery. The Nokia diagnostic tool lists the Mugen battery as 1390mAh - 410mAh less than advertised!
I don't know how these guys have got a good reputation when they ship batteries with less capacity than advertised.
Has anyone else actually got good batteries from any third party companies?
