Couldn't find it through searching so if someone could answer this for me, it'd be great.
I'm considering purchasing an Incredible, but am definitely thinking of going with the 1750 or 2150 extended battery. Do these calibrate correctly with the phone's battery meter? The ones on the Droid 1 do not, Droid 1 users have to reboot to see their actual usage. If it would contribute to a more accurate answer, I will most likely be running custom roms with 1% indications. Thanks
Yes, best I can tell. I have the Seidio 1750 and I have to say, if you don't mind your phone being a little thicker I'd go with the HTC 2150. I still barely make it through a full day with moderate use.
Yes they read correctly, just bought the 2150 yesterday. Thought it was defective due to it taking 8+hrs to charge from 56%, but it was my usb cable. Sad thing is the phone is only 1wk old. Got it on a two year contract, not a CPO either. They do provide a better experience versus stock. Got 12+hrs of heavy usage, without bump charging.
Thanks for the replies. Yeah I was considering the 2150, but I don't like added bulk (kind of the reason why I want to switch from a Droid to an Inc). I like what this guy did, but have no experience whatsoever in dremeling http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703332
I bought an 1800 battery off eBay and it fits tthe normal back so no bulk

Thanks for your opinion. One more question (I hope this isn't a stupid one) do I need to look for special roms for the SLCD incredible? Or can I use any ROM?

I have the 3700Mah battery and I end the day with 30% lol.
The added bulk is all good because with the new back it's a perfect square.

I was reading and I found this website that has batteries for cheap. Here is the link, http://www.htcexpress.com/batteries...-battery-sprint-verizon-incredible-droid.html. I have the Seidio 1750mah right now but I have switched between the stock battery and there isn't much of a difference. Has anybody had experience with this 1800mah battery? If so how does it compare to stock?
Looks like a no-name brand, I wouldn't buy it. It is probably worse than the stock battery. Just my $.02

That's what I was thinking. Just looking for something else because this Seidio battery is garbage.
I think the 1800 looks pretty dodgy as well. Also, just going by nothing but the numbers, 1750mA is only another 30% or so. At best, you're just going to see a small increase under heavy usage (if 3 hours on stock, 4 on 1750 Seidio).
I have had two of those 1750's and I had to have one replaced because it was not quite as good as the stock battery, but the other is a good improvement.
I just find that the crazy battery charging paradigm of the Dinc doesn't do justice to any battery. (unless you turn your phone off when you charge or alternate batteries from a real charger) I'm running a modified kernel which is undervolted, has all the modules I need, and I "de-sensed" and "de-HTC'd" every service and apk that I had no use for. I'm not a social networking guy (well, aside from this forum), and if I really wanted to do any of that I surely don't need HTC's crazy sense interface.
Doing that increased my battery life to 2 days of "normal usage for me". I'm not setting on the phone typing all the time or browsing, but as delivered before I modded it all, I think it was just about the most useless phone (in terms of battery life) I've encountered. Using their stock screen with ~craploads of widgets is battery suicide as well.
-- Anyway, I hope you solve the problem - Hashi
I don't really know how much these batteries are supposed to cost, I bought a couple 1500 on ebay and haven't had any problems with them. But here they have the stock battery for $23. Might be worth checking out if you're looking for just a backup to keep in your pocket or something (which is what I do).

I'm curious about this as well. I missed having options for battery when I switched to iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4 (like with Treo and BlackBerry). As a mobile addict, I miss extended batteries (even though larger). I hope to have these choices for Atrix and hope the switch to Android doesn't serious piss me off.

Welcome, it may take a bit, bit I think you will be glad you switched.
Also, I am sure third party batteries will show up after a few weekes particularly if the phone is popular.
I'm sure Seidio will have a bunch of accessories out shortly.
I truly wouldn't mind one of the extended battery Juice Pack cases like I had for my iPhone. They added some bulk, but they nearly doubled my battery life on my iPhone, and they are simple to take off plus you don't have to pull out your phone's battery to do it.

With 1930mAh battery installed + laptop dock for 8 more hours running ability, I don't think I need an extra battery more.
I used it very heavily at work. Maybe got like 6hrs out of the oem battery.
Which is the best I have had in all the smart phones Ive used
LOL the battery is large but the way I use my phones I don't know if it will last all day; I looked on eBay a few minutes ago and didn't really see anything.
I have the standard and went and bought two extra batteries for the phone for the days I was out and didbt have access to a charger.

Keep dreaming - mophie (manufacturer of the Juice Pack) steadfastly refuses to offer products for non i- whatevers. I've talked to them about it previously. Only way it'll happen is if Motorola or some other company makes one, and that hasn't happened.

your right i did not think of this. Most people overlook this fact,
I got spoiled by multiple gen-you-whine Motorola batteries for my StarTac. Between the main battery, the AAA tray to replace that, and the piggyback battery...who needed AC?
But I've also found an AWFUL LOT of battery suppliers are junk. Some mislabeled with bogus capacity, some that just don't hold a charge well, some that knock wood I never got, that catch fire.
I don't like gen-you-whine battery prices, especially for a new phone, but I'd be real careful about buying from other vendors right now. Or are there some other vendors you have found that can trust, by brand name?
Supposedly...with standard microUSB power plugs, we are supposed to just use a "powerpack" to recharge the phones on the fly. There's something to be said for doing it that way too, I guess.
My battery states 1880 mAH on the back of it...i thought it should be 1930 mAh
1880...1930...Could be a change in production with one manufacturer being slightly better or a slight change in the process. If you think of them both as "1905+-25mA" it really is just a small difference in battery life.
Maybe that's why some of the 1880's are being sold off cheap, they've been obsoleted?

where can i find them cheap ??
There are loads of batteries out there. Just search for BH6X or BH-6X. Some sellers say they are for Atrix, others for Droid X. I believe its the same battery as the extended droid (I hope!). I just bought one from a US based seller for $21 on EBAY.
FWIW I pulled mine out, it is 1880mA. And that's a phone that shipped last week.
Which battery do you prefer?
According to http://batteryboss.org/ the OEM 1500mAh is the best.
I just wanted to see what the users have to say, I am assuming I will get a responses of each person claiming theirs is great. I am looking for someone who may has had one or two of these and their opinion.
Either way just looking for opinions before I buy...
Wow I got all mixed up.
I was thinking of "HTC Incredible 2150mAh Extended battery"
- post edited.
I'm guessing you're looking for a battery that doesn't increase bulk?
The options available aren't much better than stock sadly :/
Depending how old your current battery is and how much stress you've put on it by draining all the way or bump charging, getting any new battery you may see better battery life. Still would suggest the HTC Extended, but just my opinion
I have the Seidio battery and of course the stock battery. I can't imagine how they could say the stock battery is best. My Seidio greatly outperforms stock, and does so consistently. I can usually get between ten and twelve hours out of it under moderate to heavy use. As for the other battery you mentioned, I can't comment on it since I have no experience. I'm curious to hear what others have to say though. I've never heard of it but I'm always looking to squeeze a little more quality time from my phone. Anyway, I wont say mine is best but, I can say, honestly, that you wouldn't be disappointed with the purchase.
Edit: With regards to cases, Seidio's Innocase line is excellent. They slide on end to end for easier battery changes and they're 1mm thin but very solid. And +1 on the custom kernel. SETCPU as well (if you're rooted.)

They are saying OEM incredible batter is better, they are saying the OEM Evo battery is better. Inc comes with 1300mAh, Evo comes with 1500mAh.
They also said the 1750 only uses 79% of its capacity, meaning your only getting 1382mAh...
But if your happy that is good to know, improvement from current stock battery.

I have to wonder if they bump charged any of the tested batteries for the Dinc. I haven't read the article yet but I will when I get a Chance. But, as you may know, a known issue with the Dinc is its inability to fully charge its batteries without unplugging, powering off, then plugging in again. If not, you're battery will truly only have about 80% charge.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
You shouldn't bump charge, it kills the battery quickly.
They have that feature to keep the battery more stable and last longer.
It charges it to ~90% (you'll see it drop from 100% to around 90% very quickly once you first unplug it) and cuts off at ~10% (when phone shows 0%).
It's how Li-Ion batteries work and you really shouldn't manipulate it so you get more unless you are wanting to buy a new battery every month.
If you keep doing that you will start getting worse performance bump charging than people who have been regularly charging for much longer than you have been bumping.
Just a suggestion though.

Thanks for the info POQbum. I wasn't aware of that. After reading so much about how the Dinc needed to be bump charged, I guess I just assumed it was ok and didn't have negative effects on the battery. But I do have to say, I've been charging that way since September without any noticeable issues. Battery life is still great and haven't replaced any batteries. If anything, my battery life seems to have improved. For the first time today, i was able to go ten hours on my stock 1300. Maybe its CM7. Anyway, I'm in no way trying to say you're wrong though because what you say makes sense. I'm simply sharing my own personal experience with these batteries.

That batteryboss link is still flying? The 1750 is definately a step above the stock. Not sure what that dude has against seidio but keep in mind he is one guy who basically ran one test on one battery iirc. My seidio 3500 will take some serious abuse and still last a day or 2. The 1750 was way way better than stock...I'd say a good 3 hours or so better for me. Anyway the best investment i made was a cheap ebay wall charger so I can just swap in any battery that fits my needs for the day...I switch between stock, cheap knockoffs, the HTC 2100 and the seidio 3500 now, sold the 1750.

You'll probably be pleased with the increased battery life. I was. I wasn't too concerned about the bulge in back, although I did have to cut a square hole in my Body Glove case to make it work.
i would love one of them as well , however i use the otterbox defendr series , so i dont thik it would fit this case at all.
I've been using it for a few days and I've noticed no difference at all! It shipped with 67% battery so I ignored the 12 hour initialize it advised but I've kept my phone charging for a straight 12 hours all day without using it and when I unplugged (it read 100%) it dropped to 82%! I was surprised I check my emails and go on facebook for 10 minutes over Wi-Fi I check my phone battery and its at 79%! Thats the same as it was before I've heard reviews saying theirs stayed at 100% for 2+ hours, is there anything wrong with my battery ?
I'm not sure this would be the problem but I have seen some apps around for recalibrating batteries, maybe the battery needs to be calibrated? Also you may have a bunch of programs that you are unaware of running in the backround advanced task killer should help with that.
I bought one of these batteries. Mine worked great after recalibrating the battery stats. I ended up buying one of the wall chargers with an extra regular battery. I like the sleek vs the bulky look more. I don't even use that extended battery any more.

I'm considering one for the occasion I want to have a long life, but it seems I've read of people who say they didn't make much difference. That of course may be because of not calibrating.
[edit]
Also, there are several different onces on ebay. From what I read, there are some batteries that are not what they advertise, but some things I read are that at least some of the 3500s on ebay are pretty good. Not sure which one that is.

Look up gtmax 1780mah xperia play battery on amazon. I'd post the link if I could.
Best deal on an extended battery. Significant increase in battery life, fits with the stock battery cover, and its only $5. It's what I have.
I know you don't want to hear about Mugen Power...
But I will tell you anyway that I have a Mugen Power battery and it gives my phone a full 20 hours of battery life. This is 20 hours of playstation emulation, web browsing, GPS and other forms of very intense use.
This battery is worth every single dollar I spent on it. I makes the phone and consequently me 100% independent of car chargers, wall chargers and other such obstructions.
It is very liberating to know that when I walk out that door in the morning, I can depend on this phone for the entire day. Give the mugen power another look.
I purchased this 2600mah battery from batterybay.net and I simply love it. It works so much better the nthe 1950mah battery I got from Ebay earlier this month. I get a day and half on this thing. And I am a heavy user, lots of gaming and internet usage. This thing was $17 with free shipping, but be warned it took mine 3 weeks to get to me. Either way I totally love this battery. I have not had to charge my phone during the day in weeks, I charge it when I got to bed of course. But Ih ave never had the battery less that 60% at the end of the day.
http://www.batterybay.net/Extended-...n-Xperia-Play-p/sony ericsson -cs-er800bl.htm
but youre still missing the point that he wanted a battery without an extra back cover.
I really don't get some of these requests? A lot of people seem to want a battery that's superior to the stock one, but don't want any extra size, any extra weight and want it very very cheap. If this battery existed, don't you think Sony would have put it in the phone already? Why not contact Sony about your battery concerns? I'm not trying to be rude at all, but until battery technology proceeds further, we have to do what we can with what we have. The big Mugen battery (which I have and use) adds about 6 millimeters in thickness and an ounce or two in weight. My old Nokia 6620 was bigger than this bone stock!! The Mugen was bigger at first for sure but now I don't even notice at all. The massive increase in battery life was more than worth it. Until technology grows, you can't have a battery that's thin, small, light, has a huge capacity and is super cheap. Even with a slightly bigger battery, these phones are still smaller than what we were using just a little while ago.
Cheers for all your feedback, i guess these batteries on ebay are to good to be true. I just thought with technology moving on at such a rate and the 2300mah claims there making these might be a new improved type of slim battery and the purpose of this thread was to see what experiences people who have USED these batteries have had, good, bad or ugly. Its not really for people to guess how they perform and type stuff like you only get what u pay for blah blah... I can guess myself, i wanted some hands on info. I already own a big replacement battery which works great but turns my sleek xperia play into something from the 1990s! Not being rude just trying to get this back on track. Ill try one of these slim 2300mah batteries myself soon im just skint at the moment so i was doing some research first. Ive read a few threads before creating this and it does seem theres alot of people with opinions on these cheap batteries but i dont hear much from people who have actually used them.

Does the thicker battery case help with gripping the phone while playing? I don't have any problems holding it, but having that extra grip can't hurt.
To be honest I was afraid of the thickbess of the phone with the new battery cover. But I have found that the thickness does not bother me and when I slide open the controlls to play a game the phone due to the added thickness is a lot more comfortable and I have been able to play for longer periods of time then I could have prior to getting this battery.

Well there is of coarse the posibility of using nuclear power fushion for the battery cells i estimate the eqashion of +2#2.0-#+100=0.11111.000 should be enough power to last one light year of battery use. Oh and no extended back cover will be needed.And i recommend that you do not use your phone to the ear for long periods the sars levels might be slightly high due to the power source.Oh sorry i forgot to mention you need to wear a radiation suit at all times when using the phone and last ov all you must have a 3 mile radius evacuation in place when making a phone call (So there will be no one around to make local calls to i guess). That's about it i think hope i never missed anything out and i hope i was of some help.

Could you try the Otterbox without the battery cover and tell me if it would fit the thicker battery? Perhaps with the rubbery skin cut under the black shell? I can't because I filed off the clips that attach elsewhere. I basically want to buy a second stock battery door and cut a rectangle in it and, if needed, the rubber for the extended battery to extend into the Otterbox Commuter. I wouldn't want to go without the battery door entirely because it wouldn't route the audio correctly and there is also a gap between the camera and flash which water and other contaminates can freely enter.

I got this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180720751...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2728wt_752
And i gotta say it lasts for ages, overclocked to 2ghz and it lasts longer then stock battery at stock clocks, and the back feels nice
glad i got this instead of mugen, lasts for 2 1/2 days everything on etc light gaming/browsing whereas battery would be about 3/4 day

So I got the battery about 4 days ago and it's great so far! The added thickness is actually quite awesome. Anyone looking to get some great battery life for cheap should pick up one of these bad boys! If you're all about aesthetic and how your phone LOOKS, well that just shouldn't matter haha.

Have gotten the same one a week ago.. and i dunno if it's just me, but the battery feels like my 2600 mAh right now ._.
Maybe it's just the starting affinity..
