In case you need an extended battery now, I can report success with a Mugen 3200mAh unit that was intended for a Sprint Touch Pro 2. It cost $70 or 80 when I bought it around Christmas time from an eBay vendor (couldn't find it anywhere else online). Turns out the person I got it for had a Touch Pro 1 and this battery was not compatible so it's been sitting around the house ever since. I just popped it into my EVO 4G and it works perfectly as far as I can tell. Boots up normally and is charging as expected. Of course the back plate does not fit over the fat battery so I left that off and replaced the jelly case which stretches over the whole thing well enough.

Hero batteries work also.. a lot of HTC phone's use the same batteries. I have like 4 batteries for my evo lol
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280492889203&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
I bought these a while back.. worked great in my hero and work just as good in my evo. Plus now I have a standalone wall-charger. Took about a week or so to get here since its coming from Hong Kong.. But it was well worth the ~$10 for 2 batteries and a charger..
ok, i stole its soul for you.
well im glad i order mine from seidio since it comes with the back case but this is good info so i can pass my oem battery to my wife for hero hero with weak battery life
Lol. Nice evo . It's the humpback of xda.
Sent from my Evo 4G
that is disgusting! but more power to you hahaha...lets hope seidio lets you buy just the ext battery cover
oh sweet mother of god i would feel all grossed out if i tried to handle my phone and it was all squishy at the parts that aren't touching the battery or the frame...
How's the battery life with the 3200? After doing some battery life tweaks and mods mine seems to almost be sufficent with the stocker, but it can always use some improvement.
If you don't mind sacrificing the case, I would try cutting a rectangle in it that would leave the protruding part of the battery exposed and let the case hug the phone the way its supposed to. If you cut it just right, the batt should stay in place since it looks like it has a bit of an edge for the case to grip on to.
I'M starting think I should just cancel my order for the 3500 battery and get me 2 1500. What do you guys think?

I'm using the battery from my tp2 as a spare, and carry it in the smaller pocket in my jeans,i don't even feel it there sometimes. With battery tweaks and charging it in my car (usually around 30 min at a time), I only have to occasionally change to the 2nd battery. If you are sensitive to bulk, then go for 2 batteries to split the load, otherwise a bigger battery is more convenient.

Given some of the results from BatteryBoss, I'd say that the battery isn't going to perform at a full 3500mAh. It will still be more than an OEM battery, sure, but I couldn't justify doubling the size of the phone to put it in. You might be better off getting another OEM battery, HTC seems to give about 99% of what they say.
if that site batteryboss is accurate then Mugen's batteries are crap. twice the size for 50% more juice. however, some anecdotal evidence to the contrary: after buying the wrong one, i bought another Mugen extended battery that does work for the TP1 and the recipient is very happy with it. reports that the 3200mAh it lasts about twice as long as the OEM battery.
probably smart to just get another HTC 1500mAh. after the latest update battery drain is much less of an issue anyway.
So can I just go in to a sprint store and ask for a hero battery For free?

The batteries + charger that was listed earlier in this thread work GREAT I've been using them for a few days now great freaking deal ($10 shippped)
Anyone know if the Tilt battery here will fit the Evo with a modified case / back plate? http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Extended-Li-Ion-Battery-RHOD170/dp/B002Y24MJ2
I know Seidio makes a modified back plate that looks like it would fit this and according to battery boss this is the gold standard of extended batteries.
Also confirmed, the Mugen 4500mAh battery for Sprint Touch Pro 2 works in the Evo as expected. It's very... thick. About as thick as the Evo with a jelly sleeve on. Put together it's like the Evo has it's own little podium to stand on.
Assuming batteryboss tests are accurate then true capacity is closer to 75% or ~3375mAh. Main purpose for me is a power supply that can run GPS tracking apps like Cardio Trainer all day uninterrupted. Thickness not an issue since the whole package is tucked away in a Camelback.
Got it on eBay, I don't know where else to find them. Mugen is OOS and ridiculously expensive anyway. An alternative would be an external battery pack that supplies power through a USB port, then cable it to Evo.

I bought this. It's false advertising as u would already know. Battery monitor doesn't see it as 3500. It sees it as 2750 which is what the Verizon extended battery is. So think of it as a Verizon extended battery just cheaper. Only thing I dislike about it is that it doesn't fit with the HTC oem extended battery door cover thus not fitting with the Seido Extended Battery Case i got. The battery is more like a sharp square type. Even the back cover when you're holding the phone u feel the Sharp square edges. Kind of uncomfortable after a while compared to the stock extended battery cover. But overall its a decent battery. Just now lost 10% battery after 2.5 hours with 4G on. I use this battery when I'm at home and my Verizon 2750 extended battery with the Seido Extended battery case when I go out. Overall for the price, I say its worth it

There is no OEM 3500 one for the TB

I have the official OEM 2750, running BAMF 3 i get a consistent 40-50 hours out of my phone.

It works well for me. It may not have the 3500 it states but it does have 2750. I may not get the hours u get cuz I have everything synced to an hour or less but it still lasts me a full day so I'd say this is one of those rare occasions where the knock off battery is pretty good

The best thing to do is go to Verizon and get the 2750 mAH. It has proved to have great battery life on a variety of ROMs.
I have big hands, so in my opinion, it fits my hands better.
Plus, I got a 25% off discount. So that made it $35 which is nice.

I would definitely go for something OEM.
Once 4G gets turned on here (in 10 days) i'll see how my battery life fares. I'll most likely get the HTC 2750mah if i end up getting anything though.
Ended up getting the HTC OEM 2750 battery for 38 bucks with my verizon discount. Its going good so far getting 40 to 45 hours no complaints.

So paying for something and getting less than what is advertised is ok? If I were you I wouldn't "settle" and be happy with the battery. I could last a full day with a stock battery if I didn't stream music. You should test the battery to see how much it really has and then demand your money back.
I sync, weather/1 hour, facebook/30 mins, twitter/5 mins, gmail/push.
Well seeing how I ended up paying $18 for 2750 instead of 3500 I'm not complaining. $18 knock off over a $50 battery which end up working alike buddy. Frankly I don't care. it works fine n is cheaper and I get almost the same hours as I do with me OEM extended battery. So yes it might have been false advertised but it does work better than I expected. I knew it was actually gonna be 3500. Last me a full day so i don't care

k im thinking about getting an extended battery for my incredible. Should i but the htc extended battery or seido 3150 extended battery. looked at the reviews and the htc had a lot better reviews. Or should i just stick with my battery and try to consume less power?
It depends on you, I personally don't need an extended battery because I charge 3/4 of the way through the day. If you can't do that then I would get the HTC if its cheaper, I have heard some good things about it from friends. The sedio seems to lose charge capacity faster then the HTC ( Max mah charge)
Or you could buy the 3500 sedio, its 10$ on Amazon. I have one coming

I used the Sedio for over a year and lost no unreasonable capacity for any lithium ion battery. I think the problem here is people don't reset their battery stats or just assume its charged when the light flips green when its really not. I wouldn't buy a battery from HTC for a dime after how poorly the stock battery performed in mine.
The 3500 has no issues I'm aware of, the 3150 was what my friends got and after 1 year of usage it only charged to 2100 mah.
Forget I said anything about HTC, just get the 3500 sedio its only 10$

It was never really $10. There was a seller that was selling fake knockoff's for $10, then amazon caught them and they're sending out refunds to people who bought from them and who don't want to keep the knockoff's.
The 3500 packs a hefty load to your phone physically. Depending how heavily you use your phone the 2150mAh from HTC may be the one you're looking for.
I also use NAV heavily throughout the week and with that battery I never had an issue with it dying out.
Although.. right now I'm using the 1900mAh that still fits in the stock cover. I can still notice a different from the 2150 but even the 1900mAh gets me through the day with all my GPS and network usage.
The 1300 is just a wimpy battery, I was constantly in the red nearing the end of the day and sometimes it died on my if I didn't give it a good 15-25 minute charge sometime during the day.

What company makes the 1900mAh? How is your performance given the time youve had it? I'm noticing on my Seido 1750mAh, some random reboots in the past month that I know aren't rom related. I'm thinking of making a switch to a different battery although I don't want a bigger sized battery.

Yup. I had to put a little piece of thin cardboard like a matchbook cover to keep mine tight. You only gain 20% with the 1800 mAH battery but you slim down considerably. I got an OEM from Amazon for $18 shipped.

I don't want to end up with two books and have a payment for both.

Fully charged it last night. Going to try to run it down most of the way for the first use. Then will let you know in a couple of days how it goes. Fits perfect BTW.
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.
