Hey guys,
Verizon hooked me up with an extended battery and just thought I would let you all know that yes, it comes with another back that is about 1mm thicker, BUT this battery will fit w/the STOCK cover also!!!
Just thought that might make some folks excited.
Were you able to just get it from the verizon store or did u find it online?? Also how much is it? I noticed

It was marked 49.99 or so but they gave it to me free since I settled for a refurb instead of waiting... I figured It still has the warr. as the new if anything happened and having an extra batt. is always nice.
This was through the customer service phone line.
So it definately fits with the stock cover no problem???? Thanks
Anyone know when an external charger will become available? Such a hassle constantly taking out and putting in batteries
do you know if there will be another extended battery that will be larger and require a new cover? the reason i would like to have that is because it would fit nicely under the hump at the top of the phone and make the whole back of the phone appear to be flat. that is kind of what i was hoping for when i found out that verizon was making an extended battery .....

Well, this batt. is made by Moto and is rated 1850 or 1880 Mah. I can't remember, but it fits fine with the stock door.
And you can see difference between this one and the normal??? How long extra the extender give u

There have been reports of screen distortion when attaching the stock cover with this battery. In other words, it's putting a potentially dangerous amount of pressure on the internals of the phone. It sounds like the distortion is only there while putting the cover on. Regardless it sounds rather disconcerting.
Obviously Moto is selling the extended battery with a different cover for a reason. So use the stock one with caution.
Can amyone get a pic of the dx with the extended battery cover installed?

Externals are on EBAY with extra batteries already.
Currently i use a two peice snap on hard plastic case from bestbuy for my droid X.. im wondering if the new back door will stop me from using my case, if its only 1mm thicker?
The snap on cases will work fine with the extended battery door.
Any idea when the extended battery will be available in verizon stores nationwide?

Here is a great overview with photos: http://alldroid.org/Default.aspx?tabid=40&g=posts&m=8010
by the way, enter BAT30 as a promo code and you get 30% off!!
FWIW,
I was using my stock batt. and was going to charge it up before I switched back to the ext. batt.....
I charged the stock full, Powered down, and threw in my ext. batt. that was LOW when I last used it...
when the phone booted up with the ext. batt. it showed it at something like 70%.. WTF?!
So I charged it to FULL, and then took it out and set it in the freezer.... twenty minutes later I threw it back in and it told me it only had 50%!!!!!!!!
So, my point... I believe it might be who of people to try it out and see if they can't squeeze any more time out of their batts....
Good luck, let me know if this helped anyone..

I really am not sure, but my guess is that part of what's going on here is that the battery stats file is "used to" your regular battery and isn't calibrated for your extended battery.
Just a thought.

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.

there isn't a real 2000mah battery for the evo, yours is most likely 1400 repackaged to say 2000. how exactly did you check it over, with your eyes?

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

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.
Exactly as the title suggests I'm looking for everyone's opinion on the best stock size battery for the Note. I've been using the Mugen battery but at times the bulk seems too much and I'm interested in trying something stock size that gets me at least a little better than stock battery performance.
Thoughts, opinions, experiences?

it is too expensive? any cheap battery for extend battery life of galaxy Note
I use the "golden battery", the sticker on it says 3250 mAh.. and that power stays at the sticker. It is roughly as good or just a tiny bit better than stock battery.
I get 3 hours 10 minutes maybe 20 minutes less or more each day of screen time on weekdays with stock battery. Let's use this as a standard for me.
With gold battery I get 3 hours and 40 minutes with a variation of 30 minutes more or less.
So it doesn't last 30% more as the sticker suggests.. but meh it lasts as much or a little bit more so I am not bothered with a 15 doller battery I can carry in my wallet as a backup

I got a 2700mAh Anker off Amazon that BMW Pro is now estimating to be 2983mAh

Also, it seems to handle charge/discharge better, it doesn't get as hot as stock under load.

I was thinking about it, and it seems plausible that the best stock sized battery for this phone at this moment would be a 2700mah one. If you look at it, the Mugen 5400mah extended battery is just 2, 2700mah batteries linked together.
Until a revolution in batteries is made, I don't think we'll get a stock sized one with a better mileage .
different capacity with stock size battery
It's mean the concentration become higher...
just wondering.
you know the anker charger that comes with the bundle if you buy 2 anker 2700 batteries?
does it charge the stock battery as well?
im assuming it does cuz the batteries are the same size (right?)
just wanting to make sure.
cheers.
Would anyone consider getting this battery? It'll more than double your battery life. Problem is how big is it and can you find a case/battery door that'll fit. And do you even need it considering you can get a good 24 hours out of it already. Thoughts?

I'm not so sure the price is fare, but this is the only extended battery that I've seen with a voltage output the same as stock at 3.8v. All the others that I've seen are at 3.7v. Not even sure if it REALLY even matters that much. But I would feel better with my replacement battery being the same as stock. Just my opinion.
