We've always known that Seidio had an Innocell 3500mAh extended battery in the works for the HTC EVO, and while we still don't know the price or release date, we now at least know what it looks like thanks to some new photos the company has just added to its website.
This extended battery has more than twice the capacity of the EVO's stock 1500mAh battery, so it adds considerable bulk to the device (unlike the slim 1750mAh battery) and of course requires that you ditch the phone's original backplate for Seidio's replacement. The new soft-touch back will be bundled with the battery, so the only thing you'll need to worry about is finding compatible accessories and deciding whether all that extra runtime is worth the hump on your EVO's back.
Not worth it I'd rather carry around a extra battery

easier to carry a couple extra slim batteries
WOW, seriously?

Ummm.... use search function. There are 2 or 3 threads on this already. I have had my battery since about the middle of last month. Price on Sedio is 69.99, was 10% off if you pre-ordered.
On Mobilecity it was 54.99 if you pre-ordered, free ship on both.
Edit: Goodlyfe beat me to it. Doh!

There are a lot of batteries out now claiming to be OEM batteries for the Evo. They are red like the original. But saw somewhere that sellers were takeing the aftermarket black batteries and just making them red. Are there any ways to tell if it really is a OEM battery? Besides the obvious, buying it from sprint or htc. And if you know of a place to buy them on the cheap let me know plz. thx.
price
No clue what an oem battery costs. I'm using the chicitec from amazon 2 for 28.99. Good deal,better life. Will post my comarisons in that thread tonight.
I heard checking the back of the battery will tell you the mAh and reveal if the battery is real or a fake. Not too familiar with batteries but that's what I read. (lift up the sticker covering the battery)

A REALLY EASY TEST and it works everytime... first suck on someones stick. Then put the battery in your mouth. If you die then it is real. if you don't. it's fake. lmao.

How old are you? Really?
guess that how he did it
I bought a set of two batteries for $10 on ebay. They were 2000 ahm while the original htc battery are 1500ahm. the problem was that the ones I got were lithium ion. Make sure you get lithium polymer. It makes a HUGE diff. The twp together last but its a pain halting out the one fort the other. Not to mention changing them.

Go to sprint chat. Tell the rep nicely your battery life sucks. He or she has been instructed to handle your issue by giving you credit for a new battery. Go to Sprint store. Purchase extended battery or regular battery. Go home and back on chat. Tell the new rep you were told you would be credited. He or she will do it. Next month see it on your bill.
To ensure 100% oem get it from Sprint. Plus the method I mentioned is free
Credits to jadeboy from themikmik for passing that on to me. It works.

i dunno. battery life seems to be quirky and then it will start to get better.
i would recommend calibrating (of course) and then use it for a couple weeks.

Just thought i would point out! it is now on the mugen website: http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...6200-korea-lg-nitro-hd-lg-spectrum-vs920.html
however it is only 1950 mAh, i was kinda hoping for a bit more of an extended..
Wow... i just realised that this is a different site from what you showed -_-.
I wonder if the dimensions are different for this battery. If it really does last longer but is the same size, that would be pretty awesome. I don't know if I'm ready to trust it since I've already bought a spare battery and charger from Korea.

Here is the actually email i received from MugenBattery:
Hello,
The difference is actually 120mAh. The 1950mAh capacity is max our engineers were able to produce for this model without making the battery bigger.
We are going to make a big battery with an extended door for this phone in a near future. It would be in 3000 -4000 mah range.
If you have any questions, please let us know.

It is still not available. In few days
I know a couple people picked up those extended batteries when they were on sale from verizon (or maybe still on sale?), if anyone is selling their original stock non extended battery please feel free to give me a PM.
Sorry, I'm keeping my stock battery as a spare for days when I'll be using my phone a lot and won't be able to charge anywhere. I'm sure most other people will do the same since it's pretty nice to have a spare battery sometimes. I keep mine charged and stored in my car.
Also, I'm pretty sure you can still get the extended batteries from Verizon for $25. They've never really went off "sale" since the Nexus launched. I would definitely recommend picking one up for that price even though the difference is negligible (in both charge and size).
I work 3rd shift & am at work now. If you read this before I get a chance to PM you, send me a pm with what you think is a fair price. I will answer as soon as I can.

I just Purchased a used Moto X off of Swappa. I love the phone! Unfortunately my battery life is pathetic even compared to my year and a half old iPhone 5. I have tried optimizing all the settings. I saw that there are guides on how to replace the batteries but I have not been able to find where to actually purchase them. Has anybody seem them for sale? OEM if possible.
I have seen them on eBay.

Just checked ebay, and couldn't find one. But here is one: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2120...ACEMENT-BATTERY-EX34-ORIGINAL/1600863563.html It might take a while to get to you, unless you want to pay a ton for shipping.
Call Motorola. $99 to replace. With their excellent customer service they might do it for free as well?
Its not your battery.
You just need to do some troubleshooting, maybe with peoples help.
I guarantee if you don't, and get another battery and manage to successfully swap them.....you will end up severely disappointed when its no different.
I'd start by taking some time and reading through the hows your battery life thread...then post some gsam screenshots and see if people can help track down your issue.
Trust me....if its as bad as you say, another battery won't help. You'll be throwing money away.
