My friend had gotten a Inc2 as a replacement for her BB and they sent her the extended for free as well as the regular. She didn't want it so I decided to try it out. I immediately noticed two things:
1) It adds negligible weight but a desired width to the phone, both are nice and work well with my large hands.
2) The backing for the extended battery actually makes clicking on the power button easier. Using the regular battery cover it was almost a chore to turn the screen on as the power button was almost flushed with the case.
So if you're thinking of shelling out moolah for it, it's a good bet you'll still love your phone afterwards.
But how's the battery life?
I have the extended battery also and love it! I just went to the lake for the 4th and didn't charge it from thursday morning until sunday around noon. Granted i didn't use the phone as heavily as usual i still spent around an hour a day on the internet, used gps, talked around 45 mins a day, and sent approx 50 texts a day. So i would say its pretty good!

Agreed..I get 20 hours with it and I'm heavy user, plus my cell signal is terrible...like 40% time without signal...I just wish I could get a white or red back to it

it's b.s. though that the original Incredible had a 3500 mah extended battery where this one for the inc 2 is 2150 mah.
i'm waiting until a more powerful extended is available for the inc 2.
on a side note though, i used to have the thunderbolt and got the extended battery for that. the extended battery only helped a little bit but took twice as long to charge.
The only thing about other batteries is they may not work in the phone. I'm not sure about this phone specifically but my fascinate wouldn't charge one of the extended batteries I bought for it because it wasn't OEM. I had to install a custom kernel in order to make it work. In all honesty though, when I'm not on vacation I use the crap out of my phone and I haven't gotten it below 30% in a days time. And I'm sure if I HAD TO, I could go 4-5 days on a charge if I were away from my house/truck
Has anyone tried these?

Sounds like a good alternative if they fit and improve battery life if even just a little.

How did she get one for free? I am about through with my 14 day trial and considering a return because of battery life.
Thanks
I just got a Dinc 2 for a replacement also. I was working on replacing my eris for the 5th time and I was able to talk them into this instead (note this does not happen all of the time). I think they have an abundance of returns on this phone so they are turning them into warr replacements.
Some people are getting new devices out of this, not just refurbs. I think they are using this one because it's one of their cheaper current models.

Me and one of my co-workers just got the Quickshippers version from Amazon... Maybe we just got a good batch but they are both working out great! New back covers that come with it fit like OEM too. Got them for $11 shipped... No issues so far...
i bought one of these a couple of weeks ago from this store. with minimal/moderate use, after 12+ hours, it was at about 74%.
finally got mine after more than 2 weeks..but they send me 3500 instead of the 2200 i ordered

my evo..i shipped it back today for a replacement. hope i get a better one
i can vouch for the 3500 battery. Bought it and have been using it. I figured the most accurate way to measure the battery life would be to leave it unplugged and just not touch the damn thing since saying i used it for 12 hours with moderate usage is rather subjective....
To my surprise, it discharges at a rate of about 1% an hour if not doing anything on it! On stock, running CM7, it would discharge at a rate of about 5-7% (i did used to have better battery life on the stock battery with netarchy's kernal and myn's rls 5 but i love gingerbread too much and realized i don't need sense [fyi it used to discharge around 3% if phone left on with wifi enabled and not doing anything) My results are better than expected because I did also apply the "lower havs -75mv havs edit" by viper in the development thread.
So in conclusion
3500 battery + savage-zen kernal + CM7 + vipers HAVS edit = awesome battery life
FYI: I did have to charge the battery fully and reboot once it reached a hundred to actually fully charge the battery. When I got it, it charged at a rate of about 5% per minute which I thought was really fast. Once it hit 100% I rebooted, it went down to 87% and slowly charged up to 100% (over 20-25 minutes). Then from there, I got awesome battery life.
I also tried to charge the battery with the phone off at that point and it didn't continue to charge; I also plugged the battery into an external charger at that point and it didnt resume charging either so I figured it reached full capacity.

Noice! I've got the classic one from Sprint. Works wonders with an SBC kernel.
So, my OG Droid was acting up and my upgrade wasn't due until late july so I decided to purchase a Droid X.
While, I don't have the phone yet, and it is used I was debating whether or not a second battery is necessary as I will have a car charger from my original droid. But, at the same time I have had a second battery with most of my phones for years. But, then again I will most likely be replacing this phone by Sept/Oct the absolute latest.
You might be able to get by on just one battery. It seems the DroidX has one of the best battery lives for Android phones. If you do buy another battery, I would suggest the extended battery. It adds only 1mm to the back of the phone and it gave me around 4-5 hours more battery life than the standard battery. Then you can always have the standard battery on backup if you need some extra juice at the end of the day.
thanks for the tip
On Rubix Focused I can get 24 hours of battery life with heavy use! I have been thinking of getting an extended battery though. It would just be convenient
I have an extended battery and carry the standard battery that came with the DX in my car just in case i ever need to swap..no biggie, convenient.
Hey, I used the BH6X from Motorola and gave me superb life. I got more that 20 hrs (using juice defender) from it. Im now reviewing the 3800mAh that I got off eBay on the X2 forums, you're welcomed to come by since this battery is for both x's. I didnt want to start a whole new thread here in the X forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17751410#post17751410
it really depends how heavily your using your phone and what for
I have 2 Motorola BH5X Standard 1500mAh Batteries I keep on me for backup at all times, which, ever since my sister-in-laws wedding and a trip to disneyland has become the standard for me.
Turns out taking a butt load of pictures and helping my wife manage the people at a wedding required a total of 3 batteries for my phone
Meanwhile, taking a lots of pix at Disneyland with no readily available outlets for my external charger also made 3 batteries the perfect number, especially after recording those late night light shows.
On a regular day though I can stretch out a single battery if I have an outlet for charging nearby or 2 batteries without a charger.
and yeah, I don't restrict data either so that does a number on my charge.
I get around 30 hours on the standard battery but I work from home, doesn't get two hours of streaming use on the way to and from work anymore. When I was driving two hours I would charge it every afternoon on the way home depending on the previous nights use. I also picked up a xoom so I use the phone a lot less now.

I am LUCKY to get 7 hours... I had to get a 2nd battery!
I ended up buying a second battery from Amazon for like 5 dollars and a cheap charger for the battery. Anytime I know I'm going to be out for awhile I take the extra battery. It has saved me a bunch of times.
If you're playing games or streaming movies a lot then I would def get one. With moderate use, I get at least 12 hours on mine
I would advice to replace a factory battery with an extended battery.
This one for instance is 3600mAh Extended Battery by Mugen, at least twice the capacity compared to factory battery. Reliable brand as well.
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...y-for-motorola-droid-x-with-battery-door.html
I would recommend one if you use your x constantly more than 4 hours in a single use.

Please do report back, this looks like a good deal if they hold a decent charge.

I'm definitely interested in what you have to say. I actually added this item to my car a week or two ago after looking at the various options available on Amazon.
i just go these yesterday, im charging them as we speak. they seem to weigh the same as the stock battery as well...

Ok... I have cycled both of them once or twice. One lasts a little longer than the other. The good one battery lasts about 6-8 hours, when comparably I could probably get 8-10 hours with my stock battery. The other seems to last 6 hours or so. I can't say my usage pattern has been normal lately so a little hard to be sure on how good they are. Overall, comparable at best to stock, but for 2 batteries, and the external charger, I am satisfied fro $25. So if you were looking to pull the trigger, its worth $25. I always carry a spare with my now, it is kinda nice, because now I just do whatever I want without regard to battery usage.
By the way, I am in Chicago, 4g everywhere, all the time, and am running BAMF Preview 4 on the MR2 radio. I sync an exchange account (push), one comcast account (updates every 2 hours), plus weather syncs every hour. I usually do web browsing, email, couple phone calls, and a bunch of scrabble and XDA browsing.
Thanks for the info, im definately ordering one today
How does the charger work? does it plug directly into the wall?
Anyone know if can be the problem to have 2 different batteries (1 original and 1 fake 2000 MaH - Which holds much less than the original) and china battery charger?
So I charge 2000 Mah battery over charger, take original from phone when ran out and put it in charger and put 2000 MaH battery in phone and start the phone... and doing that over and over... Can something get wrong with phone by doing that? Can something get wrong with calibration...?
tnx

No, it's just a menu option to view battery usage.
I can vouch for this battery, it freakin rocks! & It's a few bucks cheaper now, I got it at $15 shipped a while back.
I was on Fasty 2.3 when I tested the battery, medium usage overall...heavy texting though.
Edit: Hmmmm....now that I see that picture, I wonder why my phone didn't include stats for my WiFi or calls or stuff like that. Weird.
Not to be a Debbie-Downer, but out of four of these that I have received, only one seems to put out more juice that the OEM batt. That being said, I love the one that works!
I ordered a pair of these from ebay. One wouldn't hold a charge for more than a few minutes. I contacted the seller and told them that one of the batteries was bad. They ended up sending two more as a replacement. Out of the four, one is great (I would guess maybe 2500 mAh?), one is around the same as the OEM battery, one I get constant reboots with, and the one that doesn't hold a charge.
I love my one that works. It was well worth it for the price, but clearly there are some quality issues going on.
thinking about getting one of these if I go on a larger trip. I allready have a spare 1650mAh Battery though.

I charged it for only 2 hours, but now i'm letting it go for 8. Then i'll wipe stats and whatnot. But it's pretty damned nice so far. When I received it, it was at 45%, and it took atleast two hours of 3d games to bring it to 25%. I'm really amazed this was $10, and I paid for faster shipping ($5).
It seems really worth the price, and I would like to thank the poster again for mentioning this.

You're very welcome. I'm glad you are having good results also. I've been using this for about a week now, still getting great performance.
I can attest to this battery as well. It just wont die. I have had it for the last 3 days, and each charge cycle that I give it brings more time to the battery. I went from being at 32% after a full day on the stock battery with moderate usage, to 60% with this battery today on heavy to almost excessive use. I'm talking, videos on youtube, Downloading apps, texting, calling, music ect. All of this is on Fasty II 2.1 and its just incredible to see my phone go for so long now.
Just ordered mine But going to use latest Stable of Miui
I can also attest to the excellant performance of this battery. I just got mine last night. First thing I did was charge it with the phone off to 100%. I played 3d games for about 30 minutes, watched a 2 hour movie, about 30 minutes of internet browsing, used gps for 30 minutes on my way to work this morning, and have been listening to pandora for the pass 2 hours and I'm at 52%!!! My previous battery would have been DEAD by now. For 15 bucks this battery is a no brainer! I'm sure as others have posted that the battery life will only improve once I calibrate it and charge it a few more times.
Thanks to the OP.
I can get over a day on the stock battery!

You may be able to get over a day, but what do you do with your phone? Do you use any programs like Juice Defender? Are you a power user? Way all do you do that makes your stock battery last for over a day?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
In the beginning it gave me around 2-2.5 days worth of battery per charge which was fantastic. The extended battery weighed about 3x the stock battery for outputting almost 2x. I liked the fact that it lifted the phone up so it wouldn't damage the camera lense (since the lense does stick out past the back cover). It was the same plastic as the rest of the phone so it made the phone look stock.
But after about 5 months, the battery capacity greatly decreased to the point where I was getting about 7 hours until I received the 20% battery warning. This battery was preforming worst than the stock battery.
So in the end I went back to the stock battery. What was everyone else's experience with these extended batteries?
Thanks. I was just shopping for an extended battery this morning. My stock battery is still doing okay after 14 months, but I wanted something to counter the effect ICS has had. I saw Seido's on sale at Newegg and was about to pull the trigger, I'll hold off until I hear more.

Would you mind indicating exactly which 3800mAh battery you are reviewing?
Cell phone batteries and memory cards both suffer from a large amount of poor-product masquerading as quality. Reviews of this type of product are not actually helpful unless they identify the specific product, brand, and even seller.
I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if I purchased an extended battery for $10 and it started to go bad after 5-6 months. As comparison, my stock battery went bad after about 13 months. While paying more doesn't guarantee that you'll get something great, it is generally true in my experience that you get what you pay for.

Yeah, after three trexcells, two that need to be thrown out because of bulging, I just got a qcell 4100. I know the number means nothing. It said to do 6 full charge and discharge cycles in the beginning, and let the first one charge for nine hours. I'm on my second charge so far. Don't know if it's true but I read somewhere to charge with the phone off. The first charge ran reaaaly long before dying. Don't know if it was bad batteries or bad external chargers, but both my Samsung externals would only charge the trexcells to 95%, even if it was a 12+ hour charge.
Here I am about 4-5 months in on my 3800 batteries. 1 trexcell and 2 generic. Far as comparing to stock? Stock batteries make me sick now. They drain so much faster. The big ones amaze me how long they last. I do rotate the stockers in so they dont sit and go bad. So ill have a few days of extended then stock then extended ect. The performace of extended is so good I now see the big lump as sexy! I did find a great use for my stockers. (have 4) I was in my best friends wedding the other day and with no case and slim battery the phone slid in tux pocket easy lol. +1 but half way through reception I had to drunken walk way out to car and get spare -1. Right now as I set im about to hit 2 days on Trexcell on the newest Jellyverse sitting at 37% +20.
