Over at HowardForums, Mark Morrow has posted a review of two new extended batteries for the HTC Magician Pocket PC Phone devices (O2 XDA Mini, I-mate JAM, QTEK S100, Dopod 818, MDA Compact, etc.) The Magician normally comes with a 1200mAh battery, but now you can also get a 1550mAh or 2000mAh battery. The 1550mAh battery is the same size as the stock battery, and gives you about a 29% increase in battery life. The 2000mAh battery comes with a new battery cover to accomodate the added thickness, however you get a 67% increase in battery life.
Both batteries can be ordered online from Lion Battery.
