i heard that the HTC Evos battery can fit in a HTC incredible. is this true, and how much extra battery life would i get from it? i am thinking of buying an Evo battery just so i can get more battery life in my incredible with out having to use an extended back door.
It does fit, and it's a pretty tight fit, but it does fit, and adds another 200 mAh of battery life going from 1300 mAh to 1500 mAh, so it's about another 15% more battery life.
It makes more sense to get the Seidio Innocell 1750 mAh Battery. Its the same size of the incredible battery with longer battery life. Below is the Amazon link:

true, but i dont trust third party accessories, even if it is larger i would rather have the official version just because i trust HTC much more then i trust seidio
I have the seidio 1750. Not impressed at all. I think its a bit of a scam

If you guys do some research you'll read that the 1750 is really as good as 1500, and the 1500 fit perfectly for me. You can get the oem one on ebay for $15 shipped, I've posted the link like 15 times, its in the other 15 battery threads

Seidio Innocell 1750 mAh Battery
I use this one, Seidio Innocell 1750 mAh Battery. I replaced the OEM when it was still new, haven't looked back. Get great performance from this one - got it from Amazon for like $40.

2 Batteries + Battery Charger (w/USB) about $10
The biggest complaint I have (as do most of you) with your delicious Incredible is the battery life. I searched high and low - even tempted to turn my slim inc into a thick deck of cards with an extended battery. I didn't do it - I couldn't do it. So, being the gambling man I am, I jumped on ebay and ordered the 2 battery + battery charger for about $10 (shipped from China). I've used them now for a couple of weeks and couldn't be happier. No longer am I worried about when I'm going to be able to get some direct juice. I'm just swapping batteries! They seem to run cool and are rated at 1500 mAh (150 more than original). I'm so happy with them that I'm going to order another set or two. At that price I can't pass it up!!! ebay search incredible battery and you'll see the love.
P.S. I told one of my inc pals about it and he ordered too - he got the red batteries with the android logo on it - BEWARE OF THESE - They bump out of the back a bit too much and now his back case won't secure 100%. Anyway...you can thank me later.
Although many people are tempted to buy those I personally wouldn't. There are enough stories on here about people buying those batteries and chargers and not ending good. Most stories start like yours but end with well after a month the batteries last less than the oem which is 200 less. The htc 1500 batteries should fit perfect without the back bulging. I recommend you buy the oem 1500 battery off ebay for $15, that'd what most people use.
You have to think a little $10 shipped for 2 batteries and a charger? That'd like the 32gb micro sd cards for $15

I have had the sendo 1750 since I had an Eris 6 months ago and It's great. I notice a definite increase and I am a heavy user, I.e. watching streaming tv a lot, and I definitely recommend it.

I got mine from Seidio on Monday; not a miracle battery but definitley better life than OEM. If you don't like the hunch-back look and want a second battery this is the way to go. I would extimate that it is giving me roughly 10% better life as they advertise.

Seidio battery may give a smidge more life; build is pretty poor though, and seems to be made of some paper-like or cardboard/plastic material, covered with not very well-fitting cellophane. If you never remove your battery, may not be an issue, but I suspect this one wouldn't take very many change-outs without getting rather worn. Also seems like it heats up a bit more...

Their batteries are pretty cheap. Rating from Reseller Rating is quite good too.
I am using 2 of these and they work real nice, very high quality batteries comes sealed in shrink wrap plastic which prevents air and moisture from getting into these batteries that kills it's ultimate capacity. Lasts longer than my original one from sprint... I tried those cheap $10 or less batteries before and their capacity fluctuate wildly, don't get those, these are nice, check out my rating:

I need a couple of new high capacity batteries with a high mAh rating.
Do any of you have info on the best place to buy ?
Id rather purchase from a European vendor but will consider importing worldwide.

i just bought a 3600mAh mugen off ebay. works great my first week using it. i get between a 1.5 and 2 days of usage where previously, i'd be dead by 9pm of day 1.
what size battery is that ?
I forgot to mention that I need a regular sized battery, IE one without a new battery cover.
...so it fits into my case.
If it is regular size, what's the name of the ebay seller ?
TIA.

I bought a Seidio 1750mAh off Amazon. I notice that my seidio is lighter than the 1300mAh stock that came with the droid. I haven't conducted any battery life test to see if the seidio one offers more juice, but I am wondering if I got a fake one.
If you happen to own a 1750mAh Seidio for HTC droid, please comment if it is heavier or lighter than the stock 1300mAh.

I can tell you today when I pick mine up from the post office
My 1750 IS heavier and I have gotten far better results from it than I did from stock. Juiceplotter estimates I have around 10 hours remaining at midnight when I plug it in, whereas the 1300mAh battery ended up needing to be plugged in around 7 or 8pm because it was about shot.
I have changed roms so many times, though, as well as kernels, that I can't make a reasonable comparison.

Is it noticeably heavier?
I stand corrected... my seidio is 29 grams, while the stock battery is 31...
Normally I would scoff at the idea of a lighter battery having more capacity, but it feels more flexible so perhaps they sacrificed the solid housing in exchange for physical capacity.
Anyway, whatever they did, I found the performance to be far better. We'll see after another month or two if it stays decent.

just about every aftermarket battery manufacturer has been put to the test. absolutely none of these companies batteries are the rating they are advertised. the seidio 1750 for the TP2 was really only 1380 mAh. the N1 1600 was only 1305. you'd be better off with the TP2 oem 1500 that you can get for 15 bucks on ebay.
just google batteryboss, the first site is the one you wanna see.

Sure, I read it. I have had it bookmarked for several months so I can check it occasionally. As you can see by his "benchmarks" he has tested exactly one seidio 1750 mAh battery which has been under "light use" for two months.
I have had this battery now for over two months, and it has consistently outperformed the stock battery far more than an extra 80mAh would. I am pleased with this battery and I stand by my own personal experience. The long run is what will determine if I buy from them again.
So far I would say this battery has paid for itself.
amazon has a great deal going on right now for all of you who have been wanting bigger battery.

Would definitely not face any juice problems with that beast in it but It would be hard for me to adjust to the bulk of the phone afterwords I'm afraid.

Sent from my HTC Incredible
3500mAh
ebay 8.00 free shipping
For all those wondering, I got one of these batteries. It is slightly larger then the HTC 2150 extended battery and slightly smaller then the Seidio 3500 battery. You can use the HTC extended cover but there will be a small gap around the sides. With the backing that comes with the battery, it makes the whole thing feel very big. The max thickness is really the same as the HTC extended case, but it is big all over instead of just over the battery.
In addition to the case being clunky, I really did not see any benefit to this battery. Even though it says 3500, it gets less life then the 2150. If you want a lot of life out of your phone, go with the 3500 battery from Seidio. It is expensive but you get what you pay for. No matter which of these three batteries you get, they are all going to add the same amount of thickness which is approximately doubling the size and weight of your phone.
If you want to increase the life of your phone and not increase the size, Seidio also makes a 1800 battery that is good. I am using the one I had from my Eris.
i got this Acase 3500 mah battery a few weeks ago, it's great! bump charging vastly improves its battery life also. usually it lasts me about more than 24 hours
I got it late last week, and have been running it for a while. Battery life is a LITTLE better than the 1750 Sedio I had in it before. Not enough to justify the huge size, though. I can make it all day on my 1750, anyway.
Wow. Kind of disappointed after hearing all this that I bought it. Mine is supposed to come on the 22nd so I'll post back with results. Hopefully for my experience, I get better life out of it than stock.
I sent the Acase back and picked up two of the OEM 1800 evo batteries, they fit the dinc fine.
Do those OEM 1800 Evo batteries do much better than the OEM DINC battery? You can get 2 of the Evo 1800 batteries for $40 on Amazon.

I now only buy the Anker(sp?) batteries on ebay....they are cheap, and the only ones that appear to hold a full charge
many of the cheap 1900's I have bought are only like 900-1200
every Anker battery we have appears to be true capacity as listed
I got my 3500mAH battery finally. I can say that it adds bulk and weight. It also adds at the minimum twice the battery life. I would say I think it really is closer to three times as long. Yes it has a hump but is very comfortable to hold. With the new battery it is more like it should have been from the start with the original battery. You should not have any problems making it through a day of heavy use or two days light to normal use. This battery also takes along time to charge. I am very happy with the performance. Though I would still like to find a case the would fit the phone with this new hump on it. Lol
I would also like to find a case to fit the extended battery back. I just got this phone and the battery life is horrible even when compared to my HTC Inspire. I want to order the 3500mAH battery and extended back, but I also don't want my phone to be naked either. It's a toss up.
Darn I'm so tempted to buy the 3500 mah battery but I can't afford for it to blow up on me.. IF it does.... I traded my samsung infuse for this so I have no way in returning it. ):
Hopefully there's more people testing these batteries out so I can get one in a couple months.
Seido batteries are great!
I ordered this one: 1980mah Andida Spare Battery for LG Optimus 3D
I will test it out and report back my results to the forum.
Day 2 of using the aftermarket battery; So far so good. Took longer to charge than the stock battery, but that's on par with having a higher rated mAh.
I've been using the 3500mah extended battery since September 20th. So far, so good! Im getting double battery life and my phone hasn't exploded yet... lol... it does add some considerable bulk to the phone because of the custom backing that's required, but I personally think its worth it.

Thanks in advance
Personally had issues with batteries from china/hong kong, also they have been know to lie about size of memory on memory cards and basically just labeling over stock batteries with fake labels. If you were wanting an extend battery I would suggest getting one from a reputable company such as mugen or another name brand company. I highly doubt a battery less than $20 will be any better than the oem. If there were a way for samsung to get a larger mah battery in that size they would have. I think your best bet is either getting another oem battery or purchasing an extended battery with the larger housing. IMO
Mugen is definitely the best battery wise, so if u can find a good case with or without wearing the back cover then I'd go with that if that's in your price range

I posted here showing a picture of the Onite extended battery I have and had someone comment on it showing that is wasn't fully snapped on to the back cover, well it was. The picture of the Mugen extended case, as provided in the same thread, has the official picture of the GNote2 with the extended case on it and it blatantly shows it not connect. Check out the thread.
I had great success with anker batteries on my note 1. Lasted as long or longer as the stock battery. Still being used by my son after 10 months of use and getting same duration out of them. Just got the qcell 3800mah extended battery for my wife's skyrocket and she has gone over 2 days on it now. Not sure about the lifespan yet as she has only had it for 2 weeks.

I used the 50% off code listed in the accessories forum to get a battery directly from Samsung for $25. Well spent for piece of mind and two batteries is likely more than I will ever need. Carry one as a spare and rotate them every few days or so.

That's a lie, I've had this battery in my n85, it was worse than the original, and was to be much better.
I have had great experiences with Hyperion and Qcell batteries. My mom is using my old GS3 and she says that the Qcell extended battery is still lasting her 2 days. There is no way that Mugen is 4 times better than either of those batteries. It does have NFC though. When my gs3 was new, no extended batteries had nfc, but they eventually added it. My guess is, in a month or two, Qcell will add nfc to their case. So if you buy one now and one when they add nfc you will have 2 extended batteries for half the cost of the Mugen. As soon as Hyperion comes out with a case for the extended battery, I am going to buy theirs.

True, i forgot abou that. Charger and battery for the sameprice of just the battery.
Also any battery that claims to have much more capacity (3800mAh - 4200mAh or more) in a standard size batter is BS. Everyone dreams of that mythical 5000mAh standard size battery, but it doesn't exist.
Unless I'm going camping for more than 3 days I can't see needing my standard battery with a standard spare.
I got this one from Amazon, And I've been super stoked!
(sorry, I'm too new, it stripped my URL)
The brand is Onite, and it was $24.98
it's a 6500 mAh battery, and cover. I've been wailing on wifi and wireless data all day while streaming pandora Non-Stop to my bluetooth beats, and at 10:42 PM, I still have 48% left.
This is the first phone I've had that I can talk with customers all day, and not have to put it back on the charger once.
A full day with heavy usage, and battery to spare at bedtime? Winner in my book!
