I bought it and it finally came in today...all I can say is it's the best money I have spent. The fit and quality and reserve power is amazing. Out of the box it had 56% life. I have tried draining it with movies, qik, anything that pulls juice...gps on, wifi on (i know it actually uses less batt on wifi but I have 12m net lol), even have the brightness up...after 2 1/2 hours I have only pulled it down to 40%!
I know there are other batteries that are very cheap compared to this unit but I can say fit is excellent. Power is shocking...it is well worth the $65 to own such a power, well designed battery and back plate. The non skid coating doesnt even fly off my center console anymore. GREAT PRODUCT! very satisfied!

Yep. I have a Platinum branded 3500 mAh from Seidio, and it lasts forever. Don't know how I ever got by without it.
Does the battery get more powerful overtime?

For me it got better after about the fifth charge.
Swyped from my Cyanogen HaxTC Supersonic 4G
Can anyone post pics please?
I can't post links yet due to post count so you will have to play around with my links to see them. Add http and also dot com to Amazon.
Seidio looks like this:
amazon/Seidio-Innocell-Extended-Battery-Black/dp/B003SNIR7Y
I personally don't like the "bulky" square look on this one. I opted for the Quickshippers version. Much more smooth and "cleaner." Not to mention about 1/2 the price.
amazon/SHIPPING-UPGRADE-3500mAh-Extended-Battery/dp/B0042TY68C
Was in the market for a new case until I saw the Quickshippers battery... My main concern has always been camera protection.. The battery cover alone looks like it would do the job, no?
also anyone in the market for these extended batteries. There is kernel developed that allows for full charging of the them. SBC kernal it comes in sense and AOSP
Here is the link for the Quickshippers option. If anyone has this, let me know what you think in regards to protecting the camera in particular.

I have the same battery and have a couple of tricks you may or may not know. I get about two days out of mine with moderate to heavy usage.
1. when the charge light goes green, the batt isn't full. charge about 3 or more hours over to get a full charge. I charge mine overnight and it's good. If you remove right after the light goes green you will not see much difference from the stock battery.
2. I just recently started running Calkulin's new kernel. I'll give you the link. I use the one that says SBC for Netarchy's CFS More Aggressive 4.2.1 (aka 131) 131.zip (2.91 MB). Find the one that best suites your rom, This one kicks ass. Scroll down to the second post. Here's the link- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876590
3. as far as turning things off while not using them, that's up to you. I dont and I still get the great life.
Hope this might help! Enjoy that awesome batt. By the way, bout the green light, the phone only recognizes either when the batt reaches 1500 or it reaches the proper voltage that makes the phone think the batt is full. It was set that way for use with the stock batt. This is what I've read bout and recognized from personal experience.
Not sure I want to **** w the kernel atm. I managed 60 hours and charge the phone every 2 days...its amazing

That's great time. If it works great. The one I spoke of is supposed to be the newest and hottest thing out because of its ability to trickle charge the batt. When I take the phone off charge, it stays at 100% for hours if I dont use it. I've taken it off charge in the morning before just to test it and woke up bout 4 hours later and the phone was still at 100%. I've never fully tested to see how long mine will last as far as hours. I could guess that I would get at least the same as you. For instance, I took it off charge yesterday about 10am and right now I have 61%, granted I have had it connected to the computer a couple of times to download and transfer stuff.
I just saw a seidio 3500mah for $43 plus 5.99 shipping about $50 but the sprint extended battery is $49.99 also just want to know ,your opinion which one is my best choice ,who has a sprint extended battery and who has a seidio please help.
Is the Sprint battery 3500mAh? I thought it was less.
I have the seidio battery and have used it the most of the other batteries I have. Its good and last longer than stock as expected. I don't think you will see any real-world difference between 3200 and 3500mAh.
Really you need to decide which back panel you like better. At first first I hated seidio's, but it grew on me and that boxy back plate actually helps me to hold the phone better. Its weird, but how often do you look at the back of the phone??
Funny enough, I'm back to trying out the stock battery....
Edit: Sprint also includes a white back panel with their battery, if that make any difference.
Neither. Those extended batteries are a rip off and they make your phone bulky as hell. Completely defeats the sleek aesthetic of the EVO. Do yourself a favor, buy these batteries. They last a little longer than stock, you get two of them and a dock charger for $17 with free shipping. Just keep a charged spare with you and swap it out when you need to. So much nicer than having to lug a bulky evo around.

Personally, I'd rather not worry about carrying another battery around when I need extra life. A naked phone with the seidio battery is just as thick a regular phone with a medium sized case, probably less bulky. And I don't use cases.
I go through phases. Right now I'm in max power-save mode with stock batteries; waiting for those Chinese batteries to come in. When I fell like OC'ing for performance, I'll switch to the extended and not worry. Totally worth the costs for me. To each their own.
Carrying a spare stock battery is my suggestion.
Why create bulk on such a sleek device
The Evo stock battery is so flat, you can slip it in anywhere.
You do realize some people care more about function rather then looks.
You can have both with a spare
Personally, I don't give up function by carrying a spare. In addition, with the standard battery, the phone slips right into my pocket without any discomfort.
I don't know if the the OP keeps his Evo in his pocket, but this also may be something to consider.
I have two of the Chinese battery they probably give me a few min more than stock,I have tried kernels to make my battery last,but is just not working ,I see guys w extended battery say they get 20+hrs I cam barely make 6w moderate use on stock and Chinese like 6 1/2hrs.....
I don't have a problem with storing the EVO with monster battery in my pocket. For anyone that carries a spare: do you throw battery management out the window? Because I can keep all of the radios on, OC to 1.19GHz, screen brightness way up, live wallpaper, hotspot, etc, and not be concerned about the battery. It is totally worth the thicker form-factor for me and the OP.
OP, either battery should be about the same. The seidio is the only one that has a case that fits. If that doesn't matter, pick the one with the back plate you like the most.
From my EVO when I should probably be doing something else instead.

sprint is 2600mah ... for me it run for 20 hrs with 30% still left, have 2 emails sync every hour and exchange as items arrive, handcent sms, facebook once in a while, phandroid and some other stuff.
Not sure about Sprint's battery, but I personally have the Seidio 3500mAh and I love it! I had a Seidio 3200mAh on my previous Sprint Mogul phone and that **** lasted 4 days of moderate usage while roaming in a different state!
With the Seidio 3500mAh, I use it about 14hrs a day constantly with heavy usage (20% text, 40% internet, 20% talk, 20% games) and usually end up with 40-60% battery life left at the end of the night consistantly (using Myn's RSL5 rom and Netarchy 4.2.3 SBC kernel).
It also helps to use a SBC kernel, at least in my case. Noticed a big difference, but YMMV.
Hope this helps.

+1 to this. Currently I am playing with the 2000mah batteries for the hell of it but nothing beats the extended if you really just want to rock out hard on your evo!

I've been using the 3500mh Seidio battery for several months now and I would never go back to the stock battery. It's just so nice to use the phone heavily all day and not have to worry about having enough juice to last a full day. Now that I'm using Roms and setcpu and other programs which improve battery life, this thing lasts forever.
As a side note, I was in the Sprint store just last week comparing the size of the Sprint 2600mh battery to the 3500mh Seidio and they're literally almost identical in size. The seidio is just a tiny smidge thicker. In fact I tried to fit the Sprint backplate over the seidio battery and it almost fit perfectly.
Point is, if you're going to get either one, and they're basically the same size, why not get the one with 35% more capacity? No brainer to me.
Ok ,just pulled the trigger bought the 3500mah for $53 at amazon w 2-6 day ship total was $53 should receive by sat ...u guys think this was a good deal?
That's about how much I paid. Enjoy the new battery.

3500 seidio. I thought the rounded cover of the mugen would be good, but I didn't like it; I felt I was going to drop the phone every time I held it.
But right now I'm trying out the stock size again to see if it works for my daily usage. And I felt like using a case for a while.
From my EVO when I should probably be doing something else instead.
I just got my 3500 Seidio battery from Ebay & am having trouble draining the battery. I love having this issue, lol. I went 24hrs without a charge & with heavy usage. Now I have about 9% battery left. The stock battery would have died in 5hrs.

because the seidio is not even close to 3500 and the sprint battery is a lipo, I would go with the sprint for sure. both are way overpriced though.

I purchased the Sieidio Battery 1750mAh on Amazon about a month ago. This battery is not worth the money at all. If you want an extra battery then I suggest buying an OEM battery.
I might be wrong but I think this battery actually goes down faster than the one that came with the phone. My biggest problem with this battery is that it does not fit properly in the phone. It can just be set down or place in my pocket and that is enough to make the phone.
DON'T wast you money on this battery

I don't even understand your review, but I guess I do understand you are being negative.
But this battery works way better than the stock battery that came with my EVO. It ****s on the stock battery. Diarrhea.
Maybe it's just because I bought it for $50 from Best Buy. What a bargain!

I got two 1800mAh batteries for about $30, and experienced the same thing. After awhile though, I realized that you have to do a few things to get better battery life.
1) Charge the battery to full while the phone is on.
2) Unplug and plug back in to verify that the phone is fully charged (green led)
3) Turn the phone off
4) Unplug, plug in, and wait for a green led
5) Repeat that 5-10 times
6) Then while still plugged in, reboot into Recovery and wipe the battery stats via the advanced menu.
7) Reboot, and use your phone as you normally would.
This may sound like alot, but it really only take about 5 mins. Even after wipe, it will still take about 5 full discharges to reap the better battery life. Hope this helps!
I think its just luck of the draw on aftermarket batteries (the cheap ones at least)
I have heard good and bad on ALL of them.
I got the Chichitec/htcexpress 1800 batteries with charger. Came in the other day and I couldn't be happier. 14 hours on initial charge, that's unheard of for me. On my stock battery I had to keep the phone plugged in most of the day at work just to still have juice by the time I got home. And supposedly these things start acting even better after a few charge cycles.
(Fits with stock battery door too)
But for every person that has a good experience with any of these companies, there's someone else with a horror story.

Could have told you that before you bought it, ratings by aftermarket reputable companies are close and never accurate...if they rate it at 1750, it's probably 1500-1650... The stock is 1500 so yes you wasted your money. Now on the other hand, the 3500 is the best investment anyone could ever make....
It's been proven long ago seidio over rates their batteries. The "1750" is actually just under 1500, so less capacity then the stock battery.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
just terribad in my opinion, gonna stick to my seidio 3500. rather have the size and life than a small size and a measly bump from the 1750mah battery
They rated it less than a 1500 stock battery.
Key with extended batteries is that you actually have to charge them longer than your phone indicates.
Example: I phone said it was fully charged at 3:26am in the morning. Yet it continue to charge until at least 6:45am before it was constant. Granted I am using an SBC kernel but even without, you need to let it charge the night. Don't let the green light fool you. It takes a few extra hours to charge even if the led light is green!
You should just about fully drain your battery and then let it charge overnight. If you aren't on an SBC kernel you may actually want to charge your phone while it's off so that the battery dictates the charge.
You should also wipe your battery stats once the phone is fully charged.
Try that and see if it works for you. I know that I was getting great battery life even on the stock battery. I play "Word With friends" (at least 15 matches running) a lot (at least 15 matches running concurrently) and this game actually drains battery. I still got through the day fine though I also carry a Touch Pro 2 and having the batteries that are the same size allows me to swap when needed.
I have the 2650mah one from sprint and my 3500mah seidio coming in the mail tomorrow. I'll probably write a review for it later. Note, On my 2650mah, it's already on its 12th hour and I was was playing WWF, surfing the web, made several calls and it's still at 77%. I will leave it off the charger tonight and see how it fairs tomorrow.
Good Luck!
I have tested these and if they do last longer then stock, it is only like maybe 20 mins. I have an external charger as well as running the SBC kernel to get a complete charge. I have the sprint 2600 battery as well and love it. Not many cases for it but I have modified a sedio rugged and ballistic to work with it. I let my wife use it for a few days in her evo and had to fight to get it back from her.

Got a Droid Inc off craigslist for my buddy, who threw CM7 on it. He's getting really poor battery life out of it -- less than day with what he and I would define as pretty light usage. So we're trying to determine if he should buy a new battery for it, or if this is just how things are with the Droid Inc. He's coming from an AT&T Nexus One that also ran CM7. Obviously the Droid Inc uses a bit more juice and packs a bit smaller battery, but this discrepancy seems pretty high.
His phone is the SLCD version, so it really can't be more than a year old, can it? Do you guys have any recommendations on how to diagnose the health of the battery itself so we can figure out if it's even worth replacing?
Our comedy option is replacing it with the Seidio 1750 mAh battery, but reviews seem really mixed on Amazon. Widespread reports of the phone heating up and a really wimpy warranty from Seidio. Anyone have any feedback on this?
Thanks much.
If he is willing, he should try Miui. You get great battery life and smooth performance from it (been testing it all week, so I know).
If not try out some different Kernels, see if that helps. I would recommend some, but I am not familiar with CM7, so I wouldn't know what works best with it.
Hope I helped,
From my expierience MIUI is comparable to CM7.
Make sure he isn't overclocking, and definately use chad's incredikernel. The one provided with CM7 does tend to suck more power. Also options to flash lower voltages with chad's incredikernel.
If you are planning to get a new battery, go with an official HTC battery. There is one designed for the HTC EVO that is 1500MAH or go with a 1900mAh battery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134076)
Both of the above will fit in the stock casing, though some say the 1900mAh is a little snug but still completely snaps on in the back. I personally have the 1900mAh and I think it's a great buy and would suggest you pick it up if you're looking for more battery life without compromising your phones size.
Possible the guy bump-charged that battery to death or did other things that made that battery hard to keep a charge.
Another thing to note is that once you install a new ROM or Kernel, you should *always* wait 2-3 days for your phone to fully calibrate the battery. Often times it doesn't full charge after you first flash a ROM because your phone thinks the battery is smaller than what it is, so it'll discharge quickly. You can speed up this process by fully discharging all the way down to 0% then charging it all the way back up. Don't do this often as it's potentially damaging to the long-term life of the battery.

OR you could do one of the following:
"Remember when trying new kernels for best results.. Charge until green, then boot into recovery, then advanced and wipe battery stats, then power off and let charge until green and good to go. This gets the results without waiting 3 or 4 days of charging. Also you wont see the unplug and go from 100% to 83% in 15 minutes."
"Actually, to recalibrate, this is what I'd recommend.
Charge the phone to 100%
Turn it off. The LED will turn red again, wait for it to turn back to green.
Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.
Reboot, then unplug."
That was the advice I was given for my thread. I haven't tried them yet myself, but they sound like good things to do.
Now that I've learned a thing our two about Lithium Ion batteries, I'm going back to the stock 1300mAh battery for a minute....at least until I can find a 1500 mah Evo
Battery to put in!

What is currently the best battery for the EVO 4g? Im tired of searching for ROMS that give better battery life or doing all the tweaks..Ive seen the galileo and several others but just asking around...Also same for case?

They have it in all black as well but if you want a slim one look for a sedio 1750 its better than stock and doesn't need a new battery cover
How does the sedio 1750 compare to the galileo 2000 in terms of hrs added over stock? Isnt the galileo slim too?
Other inexpensive cases for extended batteries
There is a seller on eBay (moretalktime) who sells custom TPU cases for a lot of phones including the evo 4g with the extended battery.
Can anyone chime in on the Galileo 2000 compared to the stock & the sedio 1750? How many more hrs are possible with each over stock? I want a slim batt

I have the Galileo and it lasts me a few hours longer than stock..it's a noticeable enough difference. After being with an Evo for a year I have just accepted that battery life simply blows. No matter the ROM/Kernel combination I'm either charging or swapping batteries mid day.
I agree mulhiny...However, I feel I found a pretty good combo..I am on ISC 7 which is just a modified CM 7 with Savage Zen 2.2.1 CFS HAVS smartass governor & this kernel seems to help a lot with battery life! I notice by the end of the day I am left with 25% battery life where b4 having this kernel I would need to recharge...Im not sure if its a combo of this ROM & kernel or jus the kernel that is helping so much...I have used many ROMS: decks with tiamat (no change in batt life was pretty bad plus would get screen locks where nothing worked) MIUI with stock kernel seemed better than decks & seemed to run better for me overall more responsive no lockups quick better bat life (didnt get that lock up issue where nothing on the screen would respond just wish the batt life could be as good as what I get now..
mulhiny is the galileo the most powerful battery you can get that still keeps your phone slim?
If you don't mind the bulk the seidio or pt (best buy rebranded), extended 3500 is very good. The extended rugged case is really bulky for my taste but it's modular, so I just leave the first layer, the surface case on. It doesn't provide much protection but I am usually a lot more careful when I have that could combo on. I found that deck and savage kernel gave me the best battery life on the phone. I also applied the vipermod uc mod plus the v6 script for smoother scrolling. All in all I averaged between 1.5-2 days of moderate use. If you don't want a bulky battery the chichitec were decent for me, gave me a few more hours more than stock. A few things helped me achieve better battery life was keeping wifi on whenever it was available. If I know I'm at home, school or office I always keep wifi on and it saves me a ton of battery. Hope this helps!

I am honestly looking for the most powerful slim battery. I dont like the bulky look...LMK what the most powerful slim batt is on the market for the EVO 4g. I think I might have seen a 2200 but Im not sure.
It seems that savage zen gives the best batt life! Really glad I came across this kernel as Tiamat was not helping me noticeably. BTW I sent you a pm!

I agree mulhiny...However, I feel I found a pretty good combo..I am on ISC 7 which is just a modified CM 7 with Savage Zen 2.2.1 CFS HAVS smartass governor & this kernel seems to help a lot with battery life! I notice by the end of the day I am left with 25% battery life where b4 having this kernel I would need to recharge...Im not sure if its a combo of this ROM & kernel or jus the kernel that is helping so much...I have used many ROMS: decks with tiamat (no change in batt life was pretty bad plus would get screen locks where nothing worked) MIUI with stock kernel seemed better than decks & seemed to run better for me overall more responsive no lockups quick better bat life (didnt get that lock up issue where nothing on the screen would respond just wish the batt life could be as good as what I get now..

The Galileo is the largest I found that had a name I recognized. I have seen 2200 no names. I would agree that Decks with SZ kernel offers the best battery. I didn't notice a big difference after undervolting, but my phone would only handle -25 before it would crash.
I always can manage to get through a day with any particular rom/kernel combo for the most part, but in order to use my phone the way I want to the best solution for me is my Galileo as a primary battery with my stock as a back up. I always charge both at the end of the day. By simply getting over battery life and accepting 2 batteries a day as the norm, I can now just enjoy any rom I choose.
I too have packed my extended batteries away and use the standard one. I run CM7 with an sbc kernel and by the end of the day, I am at about 20% and by end of the day, I mean 10-11pm.
Granted, if I notice I am killing the phone with calls, txts, or the game moggle, I toss it on a charger for a little.
Great I think i found a good kernel for ASOP Roms. Will test out a few other roms with this kernel & see results I get.
Where is the best/cheapest place to get a slim extended life battery?
I have seen other posts where people were getting 2 batteries with a charger for $20, but everything I am finding is $20-$25 just for one battery...
I need a good one too. I have an otter box ( It has saved my phones ass ) and I want it to still fit on.
I do all my shopping on Amazon
Which battery is better ?? Acase or Yoobao
