I found this extended battery for the vogue. Any of you use this? If so how does it compare to the original standard battery?
that battery just showed up on the "battery scene"... it should provide more capacity based on mAh. i'm using Seidio's 2000 mAH battery it provides enough power to get me 1.5 days with normal usage.
Yeah I have that battery and anything is better than the one that comes with it. It lasts a lot longer as you would probably expect from a bigger battery. If you do get that battery it won't fit in your case anymore and the best case I found that fits it perfect by the way is this one http://swissmobility.swissmobilitystore.com/store/product/swissmobility_commander. It fits it perfect after a day of breaking it in. It is also cheaper here at this site http://www.buywirelessnow.com/smartwireless/buy/accessories/cat/615/accessory/298685 which includes the cover and free shipping.

Mind sharing pictures of what it looks like installed? Also do you know if any of the existing extended batteries would fit using the OEM extended battery door?
thanks,
-CC
Here are a few pictures. As far as other batteries fitting inside like the 2000 from seidio it probably will because they claim it will still fit in the original holster with the back you can get with it and with this HTC back it won't fit inside the original holster. This is all an assumption.
thanks for the pictures... if you have it, i'd like to see a side-shot of the phone with battery cover (similar to 3rd from left but with cover) and a bottom-shot of the phone with battery cover (looking from bottom). having an OEM cover vs. the tight Seidio cover is something i'm thinking about (not to mention having another backup battery). thx
Yo, here are the pictures you requested.

thank you sir...
Guess I can't get the 2000mah battery then
What else you guys recommend ?
I've been thinking of getting the Treo 700wx
This is the 1500mah battery which fits with the original cover..

too expensive though, there's tons of them on ebay cheaper
Will a Extended Battery Door for a Capacity 1900 mAh battery fit a 2000mah battery?
i have the extented door for the OEM 1900 mAh battery and it easily accomodates seidio's 2000 mAh battery. in fact, the 1900 mAh battery is taller than seidio's 2000 mAh battery.
Thanks for the reply. I'm looking forward to the purchasing the door and the extended battery.
how much room is left in between the battery and the cover would you say? I want to put an led in the case for a non-flash/light. the mugen-power full case looks like it would work, but I don't want to spend $75 on a 3 year old phones battery.
hi,
i have the diam500 sprint cdma htc diamond and i am lookingto get a reliable extended battery. the 3000mah battery seems a bit tooo big. Has anyone used the 2400 mah battery? or the 1800mah battery? opinions? and what about the GPS reception that ppl are talking about.
thanks
i guess this phone isnt tat popular.
I just ordered one off of ebay. I will post some pics and about it in like a week or so. I think I ordered the 2000mah battery.

any updates for your battery?
anyone try the 2400ma battery from ebay?
The battery is nice. It does hold a lot longer charge than the original one. GPS seems the same also. I don't really know how to test it out, but I use data and have calls occasionally and text a lot. It still has 75 to full charge by the end of the day or all day too.

this is the battery i bought (has the gsm back cover i believe). It works and also works for the touch pro too!
EDIT: After looking at the battery, the ends of the plastic were out too far so I had to sand/shave part it off to fit better.

I bought this extended case to fit the cdma one. It is nice but mine kind of didn't fit right. I think the hinges were off preventing it sliding all the way on.
EDIT: This one really actually fit. Its just the hole for the camera was being prevented from the going in all the way because of the battery so I cut off part of camera circle and it fits perfectly.

Ordering this one. should be coming in during the week. hopefully it fits better!
EDIT: This one fits good also. It also goes better with the color of the charger port and stylus.
pictures
here are some pics.
i updated my post before this.
If you look at the gray back where the camera is you can see in the cover that it is cut out at the bottom of the camera.
I sanded the battery edges because it didn't fit the maroon case. Now both the back covers are nice and fit perfectly.
i just bought this one:

2400mAh BATTERY F Sprint VX6850,MP6590,MP6950SP,DIAM500
Seller: battery.check - HK Hong Kong Seller
I got this and it was working for the first day. and now it doesnt charge. When i put it in to charge it just keeps turning on and off. I got this for $18. This is such a piece of crap. Anyone know how to fix this?
ok i got it to charge by loading it up into a universal battery charger for cellphones, but that still doesnt solve the problem. when the battery is completely drained, it just resorts back to turning on and off if i plug my phone directly to the charger. I am no way taking the battery out to charge everytime. thats just ridiculous. This also happened to another battery for the htc diamond for 1800ma that my friend purchased, does the same thing.
BE Wary of these CHINA cellphone batteries.... lucky its cheap.. wonder how does the mugen 3000mah holds up.
ive heard that the 1800mah batterry is meant to be good ive ordered one for my htc diamond however ive decided to use a english seller on ebay i will let you know how i get on when it comes through you might wanna look at the tweaks topic if you tyurn off some of the stuff that they say to do on there like i did you will find that your phones battery life lasts longer it worked for me although my battery life still goes in 12 hours im not too fussed cause i know when i get my new battery it wont die it should last for the full day and i only done a few of the tweaks like turned my beam off etc
i find that gps, hspca mode and beam and media player and apps like this eat your battery life really fast so i limit use of these apps and my battery lasts alot longer
Has anyone bought a higher capacity battery and found it to be good?
I've seen some 1500mAH batteries very cheap but have seen people reviewing them saying they are don't last as long as the 1230mAH HTC battery due to being bad quality.
Is there a good quality 1500 (or higher) capacity battery around - one that doesn't make the phone fat and ugly?
+1
I would also like to know this. When I had a Vibrant 3g, I was able to buy an oem vibrant 4g battery for $20 and it was 150 maH bigger, but same physical size and voltage. Worked great. I know there are extended batteries, but they are usually bulky. I have found that aftermarket slim extended batteries are worthless, and often perform less than the stock one. I even bought a mugen slim extended battery for my Mytouch 4g and at first it was phenominal. But within the first 4 full cycles, it was performing at 60% what my stock battery did. I reconditioned it, reflashed the rom from a full charge, etc. Surprised me, cuz mugen gets a lot of good reviews. Best bet is to get a power skin, or get a bulky extended battery. Power skin is bulky, but it's a uniform bulkiness, so not as awkward as the bulge of a standard extended battery. Hope this helps.
Does anyone have the extended batter and also the docking station. If so does the d3 with extended battery installed fit in the docking station?

Yes. The extended battery + cover only adds like 1mm of thickness to the Droid 3.

thanks

yeah, that's the one I have. Works out great.
I have both and it works fine.
Yep, extended battery from Verizon/Moto fits quite well in the dock.
Those blue and purple snap on cases though? Not so much. The screen will barely slide and basically gets stuck if you have the extended battery. Doesn't matter though, my gf thought I might want one but turns out we gotta take it back since it doesn't fit.
Yes - and it also fits on the car dock.
People are using the the extended battery cover?
Mine fit just fine with the factory cover... it makes me wonder why they didn't just ship these phones with an extended battery in the first place.

I live in a very hot area. I use the cover just so the battery has room to expand from the heat.
Is it possible to order these outside USA?
I'd like to get the extended battery/cover, but being in Australia could be a problem...
You could consider a service like Borderlinx.
Okay, i'll consider it. Thank you.
I have the extended battery, the verizon case/holster, and the dock. While the verizon case DOES support the extended battery, its very difficult to fit the phone on the dock (with the insert removed) while in the verizon case with the extended battery. It says right on the box for the case that its compatible with the dock and the ext. battery but it took me several minutes to get it to fit, and even then, it felt really tight like it didn't want to sit properly in the cradle. This pisses me off.
I have both and it works. I will say that the docking station is a bit of a let down compared to the original docking station I used with the Droid1 and 2.
It's not weighted.
The phone doesn't slide in/out of it nearly as easily as the Droid 1 / 2 setup.
The USB port is for charging only, it's not a passthrough if connected to a computer.
Wouldn't buy it again.
Anyone have a feel for like the % improvement in average battery life with the extended battery?

I consider myself a heavy user and I went from my phone dying 1/3 of the day to the phone lasting all day. I'd say a good investment.
So factory cover is ok to use? If order, no need for new cover?
Oh i see. I need to do that as well.
I found this from Amazon,
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NEJMKW
2800mAh with back door
I'm looking for a reliable battery with extended capacity that still fits in the stock back. Does anyone have a recommendation? Definitely don't want one of the fatter back covers.

Get one of these spare battery and charging stations. The Samsung EB-K800BUWE
I found one a while back on ebay for $30 with the oem battery! You'll never need to plug your phone in again! You can even charge this in your car.
