Just got an extended battery, any tips? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I seen somewhere tips for calibrating an extended battery, I was wondering if I could get some advice. Also I'm running Synergy RC2 GOD MODE.

-Charge battery to 100%
-In recovery, wipe battery stats
-Lets phone die [so that it automatically turns off]
-Charge back to 100%, use as normal

Try juice defender also

I had the extended for awhile i couldn't get over the bulk of it .
Have a hero and a TP2 so i just keep 2 charged batterys at a time and switch
I found the cheap ones work just as-well as the 60 dollar ones at best buy aslong as you condition them

I only paid $13 for this battery. I haven't even seen it's full potential yet. I'm a bit worried cause now I cannot use a case for it..but gives me more reason to try going red with it. Anyway, I was switching between 3 batteries and it wore out
My back. It was convenient yet annoying. So these batteries just need some conditioning?

I got mine for 8 dollars on Amazon lasted 2 days all i would do is calibrate at 100% completely drain then repeat for the first few charge cycles.
Worked like a charm just couldn't get over the girth

Hmm I see. I can get used to it, I just cannot have it in my pocket at work anymore. And its no longer protected so it is risky but I needed a change since I'm not getting the 3D right now lol

I have the Motorola one. My battery life has close to doubled. Plus I was able to use my original battery door with it. Which means I am able to use the same case. Although not everyone has had the same experience with the oem battery door working.

Many people have reported problems with their screen from using the stock door with the extended battery so just be careful doing so. Hopefully it works good for you! I also have the motor extended battery and my battery life has significantly increased by several hours a day.

I really like my Seidio 2600, I just couldn't get by on the stock battery. The replacement door does not really affect anything for me either.

I'm gonna have to risk that...I'm in an Otterbox. What exactly is the model# of the Moto extended battery?
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
I really don't see why anybody is even bothering with the stock battery door with the EB??? The "proper" door is 1mm. Lol, come on. 1mm for 20 hours between charges is well worth it in my opinion.

I have the Moto extended battery and love it. I bought it before a business trip thinking I'd swap over mid flight to the stock battery when I ran it down. I havent swapped back to the stock battery since. I unplug from the charger at 6:30a on day 1. I usually plug back into the charger around 10p on day 2 unless we're going out in which case I'll charge the phone around 5p on day 2.

i can confirm accounts of this happening to people, just saying
The extended battery is great only adds a little bit of thickness with new door. I tried using stock door but it caused problems with my screen.

I just received the otterbox defender(vzw rugged) and the moto eb today. Using the eb door with the otterbox just fine. But because I have to mod everything, I did shave just a little off the inside of the otterbox. Fits like a glove. Oh and the eb is the best. Love it.

Battery help

If a Chinese extended battery swells a little in the middle but works fine should I be considered about the battery burning up
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
If a battery is swelling, you should be very concerned, and stop using it immediately. It could explode at any time and the acid inside could seriously burn you or others.
K thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Even if it doesn't explode, it could crack and cook your phone. Dispose asap!

The best one would probably be a stock one made by htc.
I used a generic branded 3500mAh battery bought on Amazon.com from a seller called Quickshippers. It works out wonderful and is only a fraction of the cost of the expensive Seidio ones.
The only reason I went back to stock is because I'm getting fantastic battery life with evodeck. And I'm usually just plugged in and charging while at work. I missed the sheer thinness of the stock battery.
How long does a extended battery take to fully charge
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
3500 BATTERY takes about 6 to 8 hours to charge. But if u dont use an SBC kernel, it will never fully charge.
I am trying this new kernel release from HTC now, and it looks promising, but only on second day. Too early to see if it actually fully charges 3500s

Seidio Slim
The Seidio Slim battery is slightly better according to some reviews I have read, but then again I don't believe I have read enough of them to lead me to believe that is better than just buying the Stock from HTC which is more durable. Just a thought not a proven fact.

I am going to assume you checked the obvious of a loose battery. Does it vibrate and go off or when you shake it the power goes off?
I believe this would be hardware not software. You can check by flashing a known good Rom. But first check the contact points on your battery. Rub them clean, and make sure they are "springy"
I check the battery and it fits well but it is one of those monster batteries so it could fit loose in there..it does just shut down not a power cycle... thanks kenny guess ill have to go back to stock batt

Try ripping off the cover of a book of matches and placing it between the the battery and the cover. It worked when I used the giant battery.

Exacty Brooklyn, that's what I had to do with my extended battery. It would shut off when I closed the keyboard to hard. A thin piece of cardboard fixed that.

I had to do the exact same thing. anytime I slammed my KB shut the phone would power off.
I just put a matchbook cover on top of the battery and the issue was resolved
I had to do the same thing... you think they would test these batteries a little better before public release.
which exteded battery do you have my gorilla gadgets did that switched to the hyperion doesnt do it anymore.
Yes. Loose battery. Only happens when you buy those cheap ginormous batteries. Careful, I had a friend that lost a left nut when that thing overheated and exploded. I kid you not!

Anker 5600mahs external battery review

first of all, this isn't a battery that you use in your phone, its just an external battery pack that you can connect your phone/ipod/psp/camera to via cable to charge. I like this because i dont have to make my phone bulky with a bigger back cover to accomodate for the bigger battry because i dont always need a bigger battery. Usually charging evrrynight is good enough, however, when i go out on a long trip then i keep this compact device with me and comes in handy! I would definately reccomend it. I got it on amazon for $30. Its not too big considering that its 5600 mahs!
