2600mah battery and back piece $15 shipped

just looked on ebay found this.

I have to say that looks better than the 3500ma from seidio.

it does!!! i just ordered it just so i can take that back and do the carbon fiber DIY on it. I think it would look awesome

also is the 2600mah and the 3600mah battery the same size

I'm tempted, but does anyone know anything about the make of the battery? Thats awfully cheap.. i'd be scared of starting on fire
heh

Wow a fat battery door for less than $15 shipped.
Now, lets see some normal sized battery doors on ebay.

Its cheap enough, ill bite. I got a 2300mah battery and door from an unknown manufacture when I had a G1 and it worked great, im willing to give this a try. Ill report back once I get it

im half tempted to get this... ive got a 3500 mah batttery from seidio that i got for my hero, it would fit in my evo just fine but i dont have a back cover
i might just have to send the seller a message and ask how "thick" the battery is... if its anywhere close to seido's 3500 mah unit ill jump on it

look at the picture that shows the inside of the battery door...
it clearly shows the holes for both flashes

I don't want any battery that requires a larger back cover. Im waiting for a 2000mAh to come out that will fit as is!

I can't believe how badass the EVO is now. I've had mine for like a month exactly and I get impressed by the amount of accessories popping up for it every week. GO EVO! 15$! count me in even if its crap! I think I spent 15$ on lunch today and thats already looooong gone....ew

I used seidios online chat to ask a couple questions...
the rep told me 1. they do not accept paypal(just to ask) and 2. you can get the extended battery door alone for around $15 but you have to call them as it "is part of a package which they have to break up"
that will fit your 3500 hero battery (which i have aswell)
done and done.

Ew. Looks like a throwback to the Motorola Microtac days. Why would anyone want to turn their phones into a brick when they can have 3000mAh available to them by carrying an extra battery in their wallet? Crime deterrent ?

my hands are big so bring on the big back door and no need to charge during the day

I bought one of these off eBay a month ago, it's about the same as the OEM battery, so it's a good backup, but not a replacement.

[Q] Cheapo Ebay Extended Batteries

I'm considering the cheap 3500mah batteries on eBay. The Seidio battery is over $60, and I can get 2 of the eBay 3500 batteries for $20. At that price they wouldn't be a bad deal even if they lasted slightly less than the Seidio.
Does anyone have any experience with these? I've done several web searches, but haven't seen anything interesting.

I wouldnt do it. Seen to many no name ebay laptop batteries burn laptops up. Google also says beware, do a little research. Some people are claiming they are great. I just cant take that chance though. Good batteries are expensive for a reason, they cost to manufacture. After shipping it seems these cheap batteries cost the seller under $1 for everything. How can that be quality? a ton of horror stories online about ebay generic phone batteries... You make the call.

Tell me where you STOCK battery is made and make as decision. A stock htc battery blew up as well. I have a 300mah from hong kong and it is better than stock but not better seido.

i was in the same delimna

They are all made in china, HTC, Siedo all of them. The difference is OEM and Name brand batteries have quality control, they use good cells and materials. The cheapos have no standards. Thats why there is no name or no identifying marks on them, so they cant be held accountable for what they sell. The OEM and Name brand use quality Japanese cells, the no name batteries dont. And yes the OEM can explode as well, they all can. Chemical reactions give you energy. Thats the nature of a battery. Even more of a reason to make sure you get the best quality. It's just the 25 cent battery has a lot higher failure rate, some reviews even say using the cheap ebay battery is like playing russian roulette with your phone. I'm not making this stuff up by the way lol. Use what you want to use. But educate yourself, do some searching before you decide to take that chance. Batteries are expensive, no matter what kind. They always have been. Why all of a sudden can you get batteries from china for pennies after shipping? And you better believe they are making a good profit, they arent going through the trouble to make a few pennies, and they still have ebay fees. Yes they work new out of the box, but these types of items degrade fast, and thats when you start having problems. Especially with the constant abuse we put our evo batteries through, they are subject to way more abuse than the average cell phone battery. For those of you that have a working 25 cent battery now, cool. I can almost guarantee you you wont buy another battery like that in a year from now, you'll know the deal by then. And if this is the miracle battery and it is quality and lasts as long as name brand, then the company that makes them will be the richest company in the world in a few years, they've found out how to do something better and cheaper than anybody else in the world. way way cheaper, like 800% cheaper lol. Soon we wont have duracell, we'll just have eBay batteries.

just a reminder to the OP
those ebay batteries are no where close to 3500 mah.... they are only advertised as 3000mah in the first place.
Seidio seems to have hit the perfect mark with this battery
check the stats
batteryboss.org
*this is coming from a guy who has all the extended batteries*
however i do use it when my seidio 3500mah is on the wall plate charging

yea plz dont buy those no name batteries frm ebay, i recently got my 3000mah for $11.27 off ebay and its worst than the stock battery, im jus gonna pay the $69 next tyme

69$?
yall need to holler @ mobilecity they got them for 59 bucks or less
i blv overstock had them for 30$ bucks but you know they flew like pancakes...lol

Must refine your search skills. There's a 15 page thread right on the front page of this forum that talks about these batteries and a similar sized thread about just the Seidio battery.

i have two 1500 mAh batteries that are shaped exactly the same as the stock htc... they're black with a different label. I would bet they are the EXACT same battery

Recommended Ebay seller for extended battery?

I once placed an order for an 1800mAh battery one ebay and it ended up being worse than stock. Luckily i was able to get a refund.
Can anyone recommend a seller on ebay for an extended battery?

how much time did you give it to stabilize and what charging method did you use. they are all good sellers for the most part, you to filtering down by type of product. you might want to try looking for the seidio brand or sprint extended batts the off brands are hit and miss because a lot of them are out dated(because they buy in bulk and cell til there gone no matter how old the product) lithium ion batteries with high discharge rates, they might advertise as polymer but ship something totally different so be aware. hope this helps.

How many times has it been revealed that a lot of those Chinese/HK sellers put crap batteries and solder the connections to the housing of a 3500 mAh ones?
Agreed that their housing looks better than Seidio's (what were they thinking?) but that's all they're good for.
Get the real thing if you want real results.

I have to agree with you on Chinese batts they don't nearly last as long as they say but they are better then stock.
I have used both seidio and Chinese 3500 batts and actually I prefer the seidio back
Even though i thought i wouldn't
And they made it that way so they could use holster still with out makeIng a giant case to go witha giant back.
Oh and back on topic I got two seperate orders from seller speedy-China they each came in 10 days and they were fine for what they are

I got some for 50 cents on ebay and they rock great battteries

I would be interested in knowing anyone was able to get a good cheap extended battery on ebay and from who.

I just ordered a 3500mAh battery from a guy named motel268 on ebay.
It shipped out a day after buying it (I got it for $0.01 cents plus $10 shipping). Hopefully it'll rock.
If not... it was ten bucks.

motel268? i gotta pass based on the name alone

Got mine of Ebay for Quicksellers.. Here is the link. Suppossed to be here in a few days.. So I'll report back after I check it out. How are you guys breaking these in? I have heard to charge them and let them drain completely and I've also heard Li-Ion batteries don't need that. Also heard to let it charge for a while after green light comes on... How is this possible if it stops charging after that?
ok.. won't let me post a link, but look for the Quicksellers vendor... I paid $11 shipped... Its more expensive from the same seller now, the price seems to fluctuate.

not too sure about battery's but i sell parts laptops on ebay

sorry for the shameless self promotion

Most my inventory is on Amazon it's hard to make a dime on Ebay but I do have a few listings up.
I'm definately not the cheapest but I have 100% feedback for a reason... I invest in Cadex equipment to verify what I purchase and RFQ directly with the manufacturers per those specs
My amazon store is www.gizmax.com
Not trying to sell you anything I'm sure there are other sellers out there just as good and maybe better

[Q] Yet another battery thread

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.

http://www.amazon.com/Sprint-RHOD17..._1_4?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1301383140&sr=1-4
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!

Love the Innocell 1750mAh extended battery

I purchased the "Innocell 1750mAh Slim Extended Life Battery" from Seidio online.
I was getting just enough from the stock battery to get me through until I went to bed and put my inc2 on the charger.
Now I can go a day and a half before I need to charge!
All this and it fits with the stock cover. Definitely worth the 45 dollars!
Just me 2c

Give it a couple of full charges... before you start getting the full advantage of batt.

I hated the ones I got for my Inc1. Lasted just as long as stock battery and that wasn't worth $45. I traded it out twice thinking it was maybe a bad battery. Same problem even after waiting a couple days of use. Sold it to my friend and he hates it. Best battery I bought was the 1600mah oem TP2 HTC battery from ebay for $5. Lasted two days on that thing plus it was OEM. I'll consider Seidio again but I wasn't happy the first time around.

Agreed. Typically third party batteries (including Seidio) have exaggerated mah ratings. The batteries that are marketed as being extended batteries might have a little more juice, but not nearly as much as the rating indicates. They often tend to wear out much quicker.
Glad this one seems to be working for the OP though. Perhaps this one is different than most of the rest.

I bought 1800mah Mugen Power instead, heard good things about their battery, it's slim so I don't have to use different back cover. still waiting for mine.

Love my Mugen slim extended, definitely significant more life out of it over stock

I have the Mugen also; I tried the Seidio 1750 w/my DInc1 and while it was an improvement over the stock battery it did not perform well over time. I've had the Mugen for ~3 weeks now and am quite happy with it...I hope I can say the same thing in a few more months.

Do you think those cheapies on eBay are worth it? Could they damage my phone? 3500 with extended cover for $11...

I've gone through a lot of batteries for my Inc1 and best results come from the OEM batteries.
Ordered a lot off eBay and only seller bidallies sold legit OEM. The generic work but lose capacity over a few weeks and are off on the ratings, Seidio is good but barely better than stock and not worth the $$$ on the original Inc. I'll be trying a Mugen next.
So I recommend saving the money you'd waste on the junk batteries and buy a good one that'll last.

True that. I purchased several junk batteries before getting the Seidio 3500 mah battery. So much better than the other "high capacity" batteries.

Yeah I'd like to keep stock back cover. Like I mentioned with the Inc1, the HTC Touch Pro 2 battery fits fine and it was a 1600mah while the stock Inc1 battery was (in HTCs infinite wisdom) a 1300mah. Fit snug but still fit under stock battery cover and gave extra few hours of life.

Save the money and just order a couple original stock ones on eBay for $10 a pop.
