I was thinking about buying a spare batter or rather a new one and have the original as a spare i know that the anything larger than 1750 needs a larger back cover, but what of the 1750 itself
No it fits in the stock cover. I would get the 1500 from bidalis on ebay for $15, it lasts the same and is much cheaper

Is anyone using the mugen 1800mah extended battery? If so I was wondering how much time you got with it vs the stock battery. So far it is the strongest battery I could find that still uses the stock battery cover.
I'm using a different 1800mah battery off ebay, and I can say I'm very pleased with them. I don't know if I get a full 20% more battery life, but I'm sure that they last longer than the stock battery. Plus the matching red is a nice touch.
This is what I have:
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-EVO-4G-SPRI...ccessories&hash=item335fa61cc1#ht_5259wt_1060
He's raised the price $10 since I bought them two months ago.
not a Mugen but i tested a comparable battery bought from best buy here:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/evo-accessories/29856-best-buy-1750-mah-tested.html
additionally, there is a link in there to someone that tested an 1800mah bought off ebay.
my advice: results may vary. buy it, test it, if it doesnt work out, send it back.
So it sounds like the Mugen or the Seidio is worth the extra money over the generic chinese brand as far as getting extra performance. I think the mugen is a little less than the seidio. I had originally thought about picking up one of the 3500mah batteries from seidio but eventhough they have an innocase for it, there are no holsters that will hold it. I need some kind of belt clip holster. So unless anybody knows of a holster/clip that will work with the 3500mah battery installed I will be stuck with a couple of the 1800 batteries. Do you think something like this would work with the 3500 since the very top and the very bottom are the only thing in the holster?

One last question about the Mugen 1800 battery. I found a site and the Mugen 1800 for the Hero is $11 less than the Mugen 1800 they are selling for the Evo. It is essentially the same battery isn't it?

I was about to say the same thing...I have swapped batteries and they are the same. Touch Pro 2 as well.
Good read about various batteries and performance. link
Ok so i have found a replacement battery (3500 MAH) for $22.49. It comes with a replacement back for it (I assume cause the battery is fatter than the normal battery that comes with the evo). My question is there any good batterys that are the same size as the original or a case (like otterbox or body glove) to fit a fatter battery?
It's a little more expensive but I bought the siedio and you can get the protective case that fits it. On the other hand, I've heard of people modifying regular cases by cutting out the back so it fits over the larger door. Cut the hard case with a dremel or something. The soft cases you could probably cut with scissors. Just cut a little at a time to fit. You'll get protection at least on the edges where the phone usually hits first. Hopefully this helps.

The biggest battery you can get to fit the stock case is a 1750 mah battery (vs. 1500 in the original).
thank you both of you answered my questions cause my next question dkelle4 had answered so thanks a lot
I just got a 3500 from ebay and I can't use my otterbox or seido case, but its worth the battery life
Evo 4G!!!
One thing you guys may or may not know is that the charge light turns green at 1500 mah. You have to charge the battery an extra couple hours, bout 3. Also wipe battery stats, recovery then advanced. Good luck. I hope this helps.

Ok, i believe that i read some time back that you could use a touch pro 2 battery in the evo. correct me if im wrong, but if the stock battery that we use is as true to 1500mah, wouldnt the HTC manufactured 2150 mah be one of the best extended batteries to buy? I have found a couple for sale, and wanted to be sure that the touch pro 2 battery does in fact work in our evo. thanks and sorry for yet another battery post.

Here is the amazon link to the batteries. I know they wont fit under our stock door but for 10 slices of paper from my wallet plus the addition of having to buy another stock evo battery cover to modify to fit this battery, I feel like this isn't a bad deal considering the price. I should get the battery sometime around Friday or Monday of next week. Will post pics of said modification and results as soon as possible.
there are "3500" mAh batteries available for under $10 too. I believe they are closer to 2800. I've found the yoobao 3000mah batteries to be the best, got mine for 20 shipped.
and yes, the tp2 will work in an evo. you aren't going to be able to mod the stock cover to fit that. just buy an extended cover, you can get them with the battery for about 8.

Well I'm gonna hack up my old battery Cover so the battery will stick through. I have one of those crystal gel cases that will hold the battery in place, I just want the cover there to act as a speaker cover. The extended covers make the phone too large. I think this will keep the phone slim it will only be slightly thicker than it is now. I have come up with a couple of designs as well that allow me to use the stock battery door and hold the battery in place without my case. Like I stated in my earlier post, I'll post up the concept and see what ppl think. I just wish they made a battery cover that went around the battery and not make the entire back bubble out.
Check out the Mugen 4500 mah battery if you will be hacking up your back cover... I think there is a thread that has info for it.. Search
Gimme a week and ill post what im doing. Lol i still wanna keep the phone slim for the most part, so no 3500 or 4500 mah batteries

I'm loving my Yoobao 3000mah battery. With medium use, overclocking and custom kernel, I get about 36 hours out of my phone. Well 28-29 not counting sleep time.
verdict 2150mha touch pro 2 battery DOES NOT WORK!!!! Repeat DOES NOT WORK! So i bought a sedio 3500 battery and fell in love with that instead!
Hello.
Does anyone know what is the largest (mAh vise) battery we can get that would fit Atrix 4G with default cover? 3000mAh seems to require a new cover.
Thank you.
I bought a "2200mah" standard size battery off of ebay for $10. You know, one of those direct from China deals? Well, it blows. Even with juice defender I was only getting about 15 hours out of it. Went back to stock battery where I can get about 24 hours with juice defender. I'm sure this is too much info but what I'm saying is just buyer beware.
I currently use an Energizer 5200 mAh power pack for then I need extra juice. I know Verizon offers a replacement but its kinda weak for what I want.
Is there at least a 3000mAh or more battery?
Bizzare that I cant find one when the original Incredible had a 3500mAh pack.
A larger 3000+mAh battery has been mentioned previously somewhere in these forums. I think Muegen makes one. You can include "Incredible S" in your searches for some accessories, such as this one.

i did find some 3500 mAh batteries doing a google shopping search, but seems they are from Ebay sellers only and doesn't specify who makes the battery. hmm..

And a guy that has one, go half way down as his OP is not correct

I have the Mugen 1800mAh and have much better life than the OEM battery

How does the 1800 fit? Can the cover close completely?
Fits perfectly! No issues with the cover closing at all
yeah the Mugen 1800 fits perfectly. and in fact, a bit cheaper on ebay (i think it was 39.99 including shipping). that''s where i got mine from at least and it was all good.
Just ordered the Mugen.
Looks like I didn't use the chichitec one long enough for permanent damage to the cover. It's slowly reforming back to where it doesn't squeak and move around.
