Buying the 1500mAh battery by HTC from htcpedia.com really helped my battery life.
It is like an average phone now. I took my phone off the charger at 6am this morning. It is now almost 3pm and my phone has not died yet... and mind you I have been on it for 4 hours HARD!! I've been browsing.. Market... texting.. talking.. you name! (Except gaming, and streaming)
I bought the 1500mah by HTC because of two reasons:
It was made by HTC (a known name)
It fits in perfectly without buying a thicker back covering (huge plus!)
Don't really trust Seido (Don't know them too well)
My steps once I got my battery.
Bumped Charged
Wiped Battery Stats
Drained Battery (until it cut itself off)
Bumped Charged again
Another note to notice is the batter stats from rival phones of the incredible:
iPhone 4: 1420mAh
Droid X: 1570mAh
EVO: 1500mAh
Nexus: 1400mAh
I got these stats from here.
Seeing these stats make me wonder WHY did HTC ship the Droid incredibles with 1300mAh??
Also... how in the world is Seido fitting those 1750mAh in there? Or are they REALLY fitting in 1750mAh? Hmm...
The 1500mAh provided by HTC puts my Droid Incredible battery life up there with the big boys
**I'm not putting down the Seido company nor saying that there batteries are flawed. All I am stating is that I don't know how they are doing it**

I updated the first post.
You think this is the same battery? http://amzn.to/cS3liO Do you mind tell me if either of these numbers are listed?
# ASIN: B003YM9ANY
# Item model number: 35H00123-22M
Model #: RHOD160
Rating: 3.7VDC == 1500mAh
5.55Whr
Would you mind telling me what % your battery was at by 3pm as you stated? Saying it hasn't died yet could mean like 3% remaining, ya know, to which I'd say I get similar stats with my 1300.
I too am in the market for a new battery and was unfamiliar with this one until this post. I have been eyeing the seidio battery but reading about its heat issue is worrysome. (Which reminds me, any comment on the heat?)
Thanks for sharing your info
I use this battery, too. If I go all day, wihout plugging it in, after 12 hours, I'm down to about 25%. After 14 hours, it's time to either charge it, or put my other battery in.
I also took the op's advice and just recieved this. What does wiping the bat stats do though?

i bought this a while back. no bump charging since i charge in the external charger. 2 1500mah with a charger for $10 w/ shipping? no brainer for me.
hey crazifyngers could you tell me how long have you had the batteries and how is it lasting
I bought the HTC TP2 1500 mah battery for $15 shipped off ebay and it appears to be the same battery the OP posted but black instead of red. I bought from the seller bidallies and the battery appears to be a legit HTC OEM battery.
I notice a drastic difference in battery life, and I don't have to charge my phone in the late afternoon. Definately worth it.

My take on "Wiping Battery Stats" is that it deletes the information that tells your phone that it is fully charged and when it is low. Wiping those stats cause for it to monitor and record new stats to base off of.

i have been using those batteries for about 2 weeks and have noticed a slight increase in charge time. the main thing for me is not having to charge the phone just swap batteries and more importantly NO BUMP CHARGING. that is a huge pet peeve of mine. but i digress. i have used extended batteries but i prefer the look of a slim phone. i normally don't need an extended or extra battery but it is nice to know that if i need the juice i have it. i don't recall which site i read it on but it was reviewed by android central i believe.

This. Great price, I would never pay 50 dollars for that battery. You can get the 2150 for that price

i have these too. been very happy with them, they give roughly 20% more battery life on a charge over stock. charger acts funny sometimes though. pardon the dumb question, what's bump charging?

Bump charging is turning the phone off to get the phone to charge to full instead of stopping at 92%.
all of these stats are incredible! *chuckles at bad joke*
too bad im only 14 and dont hav the money to buy one...
anyone care to donate for a future developer in progress?

ha! i do this all the time and didn't even know there was a special name for it
So yea, I recently bought 2 new batteries and a charger on ebay. It's made from china I guess. I just want to know if it does harm our phone if I keep swapping batteries? If it does, in what way?

no it wont mess up your phone switching out batteries. hope u got a official samsung one. i gotten a generic brand on one of my old phones and it didnt work
the only problem ive had with using extra batteries is that every once and a while it throws my battery stats off but a recalibration fixes that for another two or three months

Yes. It will throw off the calibration so the reported charge might be wacky. But that's about it and it's easily fixed.
I got the 2 bats +charger combo for $10 from Hong Kong. They don't last nearly as well as the OEM cell but are fine for extra replacements. I even got brave and put the OEM cell on the charger. It worked fine, but I'm still careful to pull it off as soon as charging is complete.

Okay. So just the battery calibration. Guess that's fine with me.

FYI on a thread I started on this battery over in the g2x group.. So far, it seems promising. I'll keep it updated as I receive responses from those that are using the battery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104665
well they seems quite afraid of this ....
Sounds interesting, will keep a eye on this thread, hopefully some full tests will be done on the battery.

If anyone buyed it, say if it works.
Im very interested.

i was using this brand when i have my desire z, the battery itself is really giving some extra time, but it get "fat" fast when compared with original. "fat" means reduce battery saving power. so, if compared with the original one, in long term usage, andida won't give you any good compared with original one.
I've just buyed one. I think that this could extend a lot my battery life. At least with OEM battery I coul ony use my phone for 12 houres
I have bought and received the battery now. Seems fine, but I will need more time to really notice any difference. Aslo, my stock battery kept my phone running for 40 hours on a single charge (phone is running on CM7 based ROM, stock ROM never lasted that long, 20 hours max).
So? Worth buying or not?

That is very cheap for a battery that size (any battery for that matter ) But i will wait for some good news and maybe I'll buy it then.
I have bought this battery. http://www.energizerpowerpacks.com/ch/products/xp2000/
I am always carrying a bag with me so when the phon is not used I plug it in. Does a great job actually. I have a freind in Greece experiencing the worst case scenario with a dodgy battery namely a small explosion which destroyed his HTC and received some minor burns on his pointer finger.

Thinking of buying the andida battery, how is it for you that have already bought it?
Gives a little bit more juice, so a couple of hours extra. Battery does not become hot when charging or during use.

sounds really interesting
Anyone else open theirs only to find the battery fully discharged? So yuck..
I thought that allowing the battery to go completely dead was a bad thing. I checked under usage and it said it had gone 13+ days on the last charge.
Hope it didn't do too much damage to the battery
Mine was half way dead

That is horrible! I would request for a replacement.
13 days without charge and who knows how long it's been in the heat whether in a dusty warehouse, stuffy container or steamy delivery truck.

So was mine but I was expecting that. It actually charges pretty quick.
sounds like everyones had a different charge. mine was 40%
Mine was completely dead as well.
But, it did say 'Welcome tjhart85 [well, it had my real name]' and ask me for my password to sign into my account ... I thought that was a pretty neat touch. Of course, that probably means they just threw it in the box and left it on to drain.
Mine was 67% when I got it today. I then Drained it to 40% playing ocarina of time then charged it for maybe an hour and it was back to 100%
just got mine, battery was at 58%. Also the box was double sealed. ie tape over the tape. It knew my gmail account. So probably was opened, my account info added and taped shut. Would have preferred to have received it 2 weeks earlier and set up my own account.
Mine came with about 50 percent charge.

I noticed that too. So I went to the battery stats and it had been on before for a little bit.

Every device I've purchased that had a dead battery out of the box has died very shortly after buying it. I would get a replacement.

Mine came out of the box with about a 45% charge.
Same. About 50% charge here. Charging it for a couple of hours before I play with it.
Mine was dead too. Thought it was DOA, but now I'm getting a battery icon. Going to leave it charging and watch very closely over the next few days.
Mine came out of the box with "show low battery logo" on a completely black screen. No logo...no nothing. Completely blank. Plugged it in, the battery charging logo popped up, fully charged it overnight and it's been working great since (purchased from Office Depot 7/14).
This concerns me. Received mine today, but I won't be home until Friday. wonder if I should have my wife open it up and start charging it.

For those with the dead battery... I would be glad! That probably means your device was the one used as a quality control check for that batch of devices. It would make me happy to get one of those. Those devices should have ZERO problems out of box. It's just a hypothesis, and I could be wrong BUT, it seems fact that some have been opened and checked, and those are the ones that have dead batteries. Mine was delivered this morning but I'm off on a training mission, so I wont get to inspect it until Friday morning. Hopefully mine was opened and they checked for a good screen and all that good stuff. For those with the dead battery, how many have dead battery and dead pixels, mushy left side, back light problems, etc?
Finding this out will determine whether they are actually (somewhat) effectively QC'ing these tablets.
Mine came out of the box with a 6% charge.
I can't say that I'm particularly concerned about it.

mine was completely dead, as if it had a good time the night before without me!
Seems like my phone is dying randomly, this morning it was at 28% I was sending a couple of pictures on WhatsApp guess what the phone died. When I connected the phone to charger and turned on after 2 mins it was at 11%
Can someone help me trouble shoot this issue

Sounds like your battery might be failing.

Absolutely positive it's your battery. Had the same issue. Changed battery, issue fixed.
It's a good idea to get a new battery after a year.

As others have said, get a new battery. I was having this problem a few months ago. As soon as i replaced my battery it hasn't happened ONCE since.
Here's a link to a cheap GREAT quality battery :
Galaxy Note 4 Battery, Anker 3220mAh Li-ion Battery for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PTVUWRQ/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_gDaowb0FXZW19

This happened to me too. It is 99.9% a battery problem.
Unfortunately, I was in the 0.1% where even a new battery made my phone restart randomly.
Maybe it just my bad luck that the second battery was bad on arrival. But I didn't want to take any chances.
I have requested a warranty replacement from T-Mobile.
I've had this same problem for the last few months and tried three replacement batteries, two cheap oems off eBay and one pricey mofo off the Samsung site. No avail, from what I've read this might also be a bug in lollipop that you'll just have to wait out even though it's infuriating.
I was having the same problem i have insurance with t-mobile they sent me a replacement battery haven't had the problem since. definitely get it replaced.
same here. original battery that came with the phone most of the time dies at around 30%, i got a replacement battery (battery & charge kit from samsung, used that 50% off coupon you get after registering device) a few months after getting the phone and that 1 drains down normally. i may get a replacement battery through tmo insurance.
I had the same problem to called T-Mobile to get a replacement. They told me they don't replace batteries, had to go through Samsung to get a replacement battery.
Was wondering if your phones were hot when they died? Have a N910T3 which went dark at least 3 times recently. Had to pull battery before I could turn on again. Troubleshooting now.
Also seeing an intermittent SD card unmount issue which I fixed by wedging a piece of paper to increase pressure on the contact pins. Haven't had a reboot so far.
