Like the title says, just wondering what the highest capacity battery is that doesn't require you to extend the size of the phone by replacing the battery cover.
Ebays 2000mah.

Thanks! Any links/model numbers I should look for?
Also do these batteries have to be wall charged like some I've heard of?
Check out http://batteryboss.org/. There are some 2000mAhs out there that are actually 1100s.
These are the batteries that I use. I have a few, and I have bought them for my friends. I have found them to be the best battery that fits under the stock door. They do last a fair amount longer than the stock batteries.

I'm glad to hear that. I just ordered those yesterday. I wasn't too sure about getting those Chinese batteries, but I figured I couldn't really go wrong at 16 bucks for 2 batteries and an external charger.

So if it comes with a quick charger, does that mean the battery shouldn't be charged while inside the phone or is it just a convenience thing?
It's much more convenient to use that charger, and plus it FULLY charges the battery. I never plug my phone in, I just swap fully charged batteries every morning.
Somehow when I see a $16 price tag for 2x2000Mah batteries + charger, a mental image of an exploded shrapnel piercing a Chinese man's carotid artery comes to mind.

Somehow when I see a $70 dollar price tag for a battery i see a greedy little monopoly man wiping his ass with $100 bills. Batteries are dirt cheap to manufacture, we only pay exorbitant amounts for them because Americans are stupid. Same reason why companies like Monster Cable are still in business. "If it costs more it MUST be better!"

How long did it take to receive the batteries? The expected date of 3 weeks makes me not want to order it lol.
Guessing this is the same battery only in a one pack?

Yep. If you don't already have a wall charger I recommend getting the set I linked. That charger is key.
The stock battery as far as I'm aware of is the best battery for the size. All those higher rated ones, are liez.
the best battery that doesn't require you to change the cover is the stock red oem battery the phone comes with. check batteryboss.org for proof. if you could get more juice out of the same size htc would of done that.

Sorry to say, but you're wrong. The galilio batteries that I linked last noticeably longer than the stock red batteries. I have 2 of the stock ones and I don't use them at all because the galilios are better. Check this thread out, dude tested them and the 1800mah ones from galilio tested higher capacity than the oem batteries, over 100mah more. Sure they aren't true 1800 and the 2000s arent true 2000 but who cares? They are dirt cheap and DO perform better than the stock battery.

Because, you can keep a charged spare. Plus as I said before, the dock chargers fully charge the battery so you don't have to deal with the EVOs finicky charging method.
I just ordered mine as well. If I can get through the day with medium to heavy use on these I will be happy. I love my extended battery would would really rather have a case on my phone

So im in the market for a new battery. A higher capacity one but slimline. I do not want a different size battery door. Anybody know of any good ones for a decent price?
Great question. I'm wondering the same thing.
I bought this one. I had to wait a month for it since is came from Hong Kong. I can get ~16 hours running the screen at 80% brightness, texting alot, 3g radio always on, constantly checking email. No complaints other than the time it took to ship.

I was sceptical but the reviews swayed me and I tried these- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XOUM12
I'm pleasantly surprised, I notice a definite difference in battery life and the wall charger is a bonus. For the price it's hard to beat and delivery was within a week.

Personally I have found these batteries no better than the stock htc red. With juice defender I get fair batt life with either...10-16 hours or so. I do find the wall charger useful as the battery never gets fully charged when charging in the phone.
There are no slim batteries that are better than stock, the only thing to increase your battery is to add a few millimeters oh my god, to your phone and get a 3500 you won't be disappointed, and yes like someone already said, use the search button next time this must be my like 6th time answering this question muskeg let alone if someone else did too, which I feel has happened too

the battery i have is a 2000mAh i checked it over. seems fine to me.
i get 17-22 hours with my best buy platnium battery (seido knock off) tht i bought off ebay.. so i would disagree there are some extended battery tht does work and there are some that doesnt have the right mah...
I have the 2000mah battery and its marginally better than my OEM battery.
The Seidio stock size extended battery sucks. Doesn't even charge past 90% anymore, and I didn't really notice a difference.

The Best Buy battery isn't a Seidio knock-off - it IS a Seidio battery that they package for Best Buy.

For a price of $119.95..Unfortunately out of stock..but a may 25th date has been set as the shipping date..Anybody want the "Extra Strong Extended Replacement Battery..w/ 2.55x the stock battery life"..sounds pretty damn nice!
That's more than I paid for my atrix!
hard to tell from such a small picture... but that looks like a remarkably crappy battery door....

Wow,
Man, that's ginormous. I like that this phone's battery lasts almost a good 24hrs with solid use. My Evo would last that long if I barely used it lol. Oh and my girlfriend's Inspire! Forget about it, lol.
Overall, I'm happy with the battery life now and can't imagine how long something that large would last.

That thing is horrendous. I get decent battery life out of the stock battery. I think it'd be more economical to just get an additional OEM battery and carry that in your pocket, not that behemoth!
the real mAH is prob much lower than 4800. And for the price and size, Id rather tape on two spare batteries to my phone

Yea. Actually took the case and cover off my phone after reading that little bit. Didn't remember the battery being right at the base of the fingerprint reader. So using a seriously big battery would make that kinda pointless.... since not only would it be hard to reach, but they'd have to design some crazy cover to even get it to work.
I bought one of these and so far NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL!?
Is there something I need to do so Android understands it has more capacity, or does it just s*ck? I was also wondering if others have similar experience.

Some devices will only recalibrate the battery meter when the battery gets completely (or almost completely) discharged and THEN fully recharged. Don't know if that's the case with Atrix, but it's worth a try.
I just received mine too. Will be trying it out later tonight. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Post some good pics of it. The one on the site looks like it was taken with an Apple Quicktake.
UPDATED -> Post, video & LOADS of pictures!
I felt like posting on XDA too - so here it is, the battery stand/charger!
I bought it for £31, I thought might as well, especially for the extra official battery.
Here's my video on it:
For the pictures in a better resolution & a little brief on it - go to my website
Finally, I was wondering if anyone else has it, and what you guys think of it?

does the battery have an NFC antenna in it? from your picture, it looks like it's just a normal battery...
how long does it take to charge up the battery?
