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.

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].

I just switched phones, so I have some accessories I would like to sell.
1. SOLD Sprint Extended Battery w/black and white covers - $30 plus shipping . Both covers are in great condition. I used the black one with my white EVO, I liked the oreo look. SOLD
2. Ballistic HC Case Black/Black - $15 - This comes with one back, one silicon cover, two fronts (one has the built in protector removed), and two holsters. The reason for the two fronts and holster's, is that they were both replaced by ballistic under warranty. However, they are still both usable.
Everything is OBO.
I posted in here since this is EVO specific, if it get's moved, then I understand.
All prices are OBO, and any reasonable offer will be accepted. I am looking for a 16GB card, if anyone has one they want to trade.
Im interested in all, can we do something via paypal

the battery has been spoken for, but the case is still available. New price $15 .
Does the case accommodate the extended battery? or is there cutting involved?

I would like to purchase all the remaining accesories you have left. I definitely want the ballistic case.
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.

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!
Does anyone know where i can find an extended battery cover similar to the one by seidio for my evo? I have an extended battery from amazon with the big cover and honestly i dont like it... seems like it isnt made for my evo. I just feel like the angle that it pops out of the back makes it look and feel awkward, and i especially hate the 4 bumps on the corners above the battery. Sometimes i have to push on the corners of the cover because i dont want dust geting in, and i feel like the added space other than the battery area is really unnecessary. So if it's possible, i would really love an extended battery back like the seidio one, preferably in a different cover(that would be fresh ), if anyone can help me find one!
Because the extended batteries all seem to have such different battery door covers, it's hard to say. I have been checking (and hoping) for seidio to make colored covers for the Evo for myself. The closest thing I found was on eBay. So try there for cases if you haven't already!
Good luck.
edited....i think I misunderstood your first post. If you are looking for the battery cover door though, ebay will probably still be your best bet.

I have an extra seidio one i can sell you, its marked up slightly though, and one prong is missing i believe, connects fine and is not loose at all
how much you selling it for
If I was you I would take his offer if its within reason. I actually bought my seido from the factory store online and broke a prong off mine accidentally and looked everywhere for just the door alone. Now this could have very easily changed but as of before xmas? Seido themselves did not sell the door alone much less best buy or amazon etc. You can find a replacement flat standard door pretty easy, but one for the extended seido? I had tough time. I actually got them to send me one no charge, but I had just spent like 200 bucks with them so.....gl
The Sedio cover won't fit the Amazon battery.
Yes it will and make me an offer on the door its an official seidio

Stupid seller! Batteries are the wrong size! Don't even fit! Avoid that seller.
i'd say just wait until Seidio's 3800mAh battery is available. It's going to be more expensive, but at least you won't have to worry about some generic battery doing damage to your phone.
Dude why would you buy those? There's no way they'll fit without a custom door, and I seriously doubt they have NFC in them.

The first one comes with a battery cover. The second ones use the standard cover.
That being said, the second ones are likely not 1900 mah and Voxigenboy, seidio will probably only make that battery for the Verizon version.

Seidio is currently working on developing a 3800mah battery for the Galaxy Nexus . I would personally wait for them to release that battery then go the ebay route . One its gonna fit our phones . 2. Its gonna be closer to the 3800 mah rating due to more quality control standards being in place mainly because Seidio is a big company as opposed to the small Hong Kong groups selling batteries . Granted Seidio's battery wont support NFC which for me is a moot point since I already have it disabled and dont plan to use that function of the phone (Think Evo 3D , I never used the 3d function of that either LOL) . Im sure the initial batch of extended batteries might have issues with fit and quality out the door but as production ramps up it will or should improve . Granted I dont generally like Seidios prices but recently they have been sending out online coupons that drop 10% sometimes 20% off your orders . This is a good thing since Im sure most cases and holsters currently out there wont accomidate the new extended battery , unless you use some redneck engineering (No Duct tape is not included in the R&D aspect LOL atleast not mine) . I remember with the EVO 4G and their extended battery you would be able to cut a TPU case to fit the battery perfectly and it would work with their holster as well . Im hoping the case still stands when the Nexus Galaxy battery is released , since most Seidio extended cases dont fully protect all sides of the phone .

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.

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.
