Hey guys,
I dropped my Tbolt the other day and cracked the battery cover. It still works fine, but is scuffed and doesn't snap into place quite as securely as it used to (i.e. you can't actually get it off now), and I would love to buy the standard back from somebody who bought the extended battery. I have no idea what this should cost, so let me know if you're interested.
Thanks,
Seth
It costs $19.99 at Verizon Wireless. I would post a link but the forum will not let me until I have more posts. Just search their website for "thunderbolt battery cover".

Today I received my 1800mAh Lithium-Polyner battery for my XDA Exec. The manufacturer claims 11% more load than a standard battery, while still fitting in the standard battery slot, without the need for a thicker cover.
It is cheap as hell (20 euros) and can be found here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....from=R8&satitle=220016822659&category0=&fvi=1
It's currently charging so tomorrow at the end of the day I should be able to tell how it compares.
So Wiz, how is the battery holding up?
I've used replacement batteries in the past and they all seem to have problems reporting the correct charge. Is this one the same?
Good luck,
Pug.
say clear of seller mr buybits on ebay his 3200 battery always say 100% and you wont get the black battery cover thats advertise , insted you get a silver cheap looking one
i bought a 3800mAh battery with black case from expansys. it works flawlessly. the extra thickness is worth the extended battery life. i don't have to pay attention to the battery at all now (as long as i charge it every night of course)

Hi.. How thick is the additional bat? Do you think it will still fit the piel frama book type leather case? Im thinking of buying the same from expanys. Good thing I bumped into your post
Thanks!
Thick
It's thick, you will not be able to use your Piel Frama case.
yup it's about an extra 9mm, but my belt case fits it nicely (an old iPAQ 'extended battery' case). the belt case i originally had for it was too tight with the stock battery anyway.

Really? Even if I squeeeeze it in? haha.. I was hoping that I can still use my case... I love this case!
Ok, I will let you guys know if I was successful in trying to squeeze it in. i will also let you know if I managed to tear / break the case, haha. Thanks!

I don't use any case whenever I'm using the extended battery. Don't try to squeeze it in, i tried it before on my Piel Frama case, u will just end up breaking that wonderful case of yours.

Ok then. I'll take that you broke your wonderful case??? It's just that I so wanted to still use it despite the bulky battery. Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna order from expansys soon. I'm just checking other sites in case there's a better place to order the extended bat. I'd love to have the lion battery but it's too expensive so I'm settling for the 3800 mAh one.
P.S. I found this "pencil case" that would probably perfectly fit my dopod with the extended bat... BUT (yes, a big but), it's a Barbie pencil case. Sure, im a girl and i'd probably pull it off but still, isn't it a big insult for our fabulous phone? haha..

Hehehe, that's cute! I think the 3800 mah battery is also lithium ion. I understand your praise about the universal. I mean it's a great device, especially the VGA screen (that stands out from the rest of the PPC phone). I bought my extended battery from ebay.
1800mAh battery
The thread has gone somewhat off-topic here. I have used the 1800mah battery for a week or 2 now, and it does deliver the additional 12%
It may not be as much as the 3800 battery, but for day to day usage that battery is too thick and heavy anyway. I prefer to keep that one for long business trips or holidays.
The 1800 battery just gives that little extra while allowing the Exec in it's regular case (for me Covertec)
Where did you buy your battery from?the site that i saw that had it they were currently out of stock.I have ordered the other battery but it is huge makes it feel like a gun is in my pocket.The jj is already a monster and to add the extra weight is a ilttle too much.

Its not in english so i dont know wth it says.Im in the US and am skeptical about what im reading.
As the seller has a 99.5% positive feedback from 48378 ebayers, i would assume it is as safe as you are going to get! If in doubt, give him a shout - Send a message, i am sure you will get a response fairly quickly?
It does state worldwide shipping and to contact the seller for details.
sent a message with no response.I would like to know the total in us dollars though.the way i figure it ,it comes to almost 60 bucks and pdaden has them for 46 shipped and 52 for a 2-3 day shipping.i will wait another day to see if he can let me know how much it will cost me.
I got free shipping to the netherlands for that price. Until now it performs admirably. I'll try to run some SPB battery rundown tests this weekend both with the original shipping battery and this 1800mAh li-polymer battery.
PS I didnt notice the 1750 Pdaden batteries until the last post by southernint3l, but from where I am at, the free shipping to the Netherlands beats the $10-$20 shipping I would have to pay from the US hands down.
I just ordered my Evo. I have an innocell 3500 that bought with my Hero. Seidio informed me that the dimensions are exactly the same as the 3500 for the Evo. I would like to use it in my evo. Does anybody know where to purchase an extended battery cover that is like the seidio one? I like that one because with that cover it will fit in the holster that I have for it.

I tried google already and ebay. I found the battery and the cover for sale together, the innocase for the extended battery and a cover that wasn't like the seidio one. I was hoping to find a just the battery cover without having to buy another battery.

I apologize, it was actually a case. It looked like the cover to me. I'm not sure then. Google around til you find it.
I'll look and if I see something I'll let u know.
My guess is you're gonna have a hard time finding one. No one will want to get rid of just the cover if they still have a battery. And unless Seidio makes one, which I didn't see, you may be stuck with finding someone who no longer has their evo.
Sorry I couldn't help more. Let me know if you find anything.
I think you are right. I think I am going to just have to go ahead and order another battery as well. Thanks for trying though. Cheapest I have found so far is $53 on amazon through daydeal.

Found a cover here.

If you call Seidio customer service, they will sell you just a back door for the 3500mAh battery. I'm not sure of the price, but they will indeed sell it to you, even though its not listed on their site.
I bought one from and individual locally. Thanks to all for you help and suggestions.
Ive got one of these batteries and covers as well as the holster that fits these if anyones interested. I decided to go back to my 1800 battery and dont need this setup. I work at Best Buy so Ill exchange the one I have for a brand new one before shipping it out. Looking for $40 which includes UPS shipping.
On discount I paid $33 for the battery and after shipping I paid $7 for the case. Not looking to make anything, just recoup my money.
Post some pics I am interested.

Like I said, Im going to exchange the battery I have right now for a new one at work so whoever buys it is going to get a brand new never used back cover and battery.
Interested! PM'ed
Pending payment...
Sold, thanks everyone.
I was looking through ebay for a new battery for my thunderbolt and there were some extended batteries that were 3500mah for around $12. I was just wondering if these batteries are any good or safe to use because it just seems too good to be true.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
They are safe. They will probably only be around 2300-2700mah in reality, but still a huge improvement over stock.

I would advise against buying ANY of them right now. The cover for the extended battery had to be redesigned because the original one did not have the contacts for the antenna it was just a plain plastic cover. Before you buy one ASK the seller which one you are buying the old (completely plastic) or new redesigned cover.
You will not have 4g and good reception with the plain plastic cover. Yours should look just like the picture I've attached. I doubt any of the new reworked covers are even in the United States yet this was just discovered last week.

Luckily I have the official HTC extended cover. My batt and covered that arrived today is plastic only, and will prob go in the garbage.
Thanks for the info.
I am expecting a shipment of the 3500mah thunderbolt batteries to arrive in approx 2 weeks. I have the exact same battery for the Samsung Epic and it managed to double my battery life. If anyone is interested in buying from me, please an email at [email protected].

Well I saw it here: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-3500-extended-life-battery-p/bacy35ssgng-gy.htm but I want to see if anyone have a picture of it with the cover: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-convert-extended-case-holster-p/bd4-hkr4ssgnlx2.htm since those pics are not the best ones. Also do you recommend it?

No one? I really want to know before buying it.

I don't have a picture at the moment. I don't have that exact model, but the model I got from ebay is a 3800 mAh. I also got a case that fits around it.
With the case and the battery it is probably twice as thick as the phone with standard battery and no case. I don't mind, it fits in my pocket very easily and I feel much more comfortable with it.
took some pictures
I also have 3800mah battery, i took some pictures. rider.planet.ee/nexus
At first it felt little bit to big, but after few days its ok, fits in pocket.

Same questions to you... Have you been able to find any cover?
I just bought a cheapie ebay extended battery with cover, and it definitely improves battery life to nearly double the oem battery. I am pleased for the $8 I paid.

Couple it with a bumper case (so the cover fits) and you have decent protection.
I bought an Onite 3500 mAh battery from Amazon several weeks ago for vacation days hiking. I was surprised how small it was. I didn't take it off until a week after I got back. In the city I get at least 2 days with juice to spare. It also supposedly has NFC, but haven't used it yet. It came with an extended back cover.
I bought an extended soft TPU case and pair that with a Seidio surface holster.
I paid about $13 for the battery, and combined with cases, no shipping.
I'm definitely happy with the battery.

they send me 3800mAh instead of 3500mAh, or is it just a sticker on the battery that says its 3800mAh, definitely it lasts longer than OEM battery. Haven't bought case yet, but this one looks nice - amazon.com/Trexcell-Transparent-Thermoplastic-Universal-aftermarket/dp/B007XWP788/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344185186&sr=8-1&keywords=extended+soft+TPU+case+nexus

I bought that case and it is fine. It is actually somewhat translucent and has a slight pattern on the back. It means I can't keep my mad money in my phone case, but otherwise it did the extended battery well.
The Onite batteries seem to be getting more expensive but they can still be found for about 25 dollars, which I still think is a good deal. My 13$ battery is a veritable steal.
