why not just buy 3 batteries on ebay for 25 bucks total
Because who wants to run around with three batteries in their pockets?

I wouldn't buy from those manufacturers if I were you. Check out batteryboss.org. Some guy evaluated those battery capacity claims and a lot of them are flat out lies.
I have been a Seidio customer for years and have always being very pleased with their extended battery solutions for all my devices. My experience is that they did extend the battery life of my devices significantly. Without a reputable protocol and some raw data I will trust my previous experience over "some guys" who did "some tests".

Sorry to tell you this, but...
http://batteryboss.org/ These guys are testing a variety of aftermarket batteries for their true capacities, and the one you purchased is included n their test. They only got 1100 mAh out of the actual battery, under the name TP2 Andida, new in their chart.
Good thing you only spent ten bucks, though.
No kidding, the TP2 battery fits? That's the EXACT same battery the hero uses!!
Luckily, I bought two of them, and just got a TP2 as my work phone. That means I suppose, that I have four batteries
btw, those batteries probably aren't 2000mA, but they're nearly as good if not a little better than stock, and for ten bucks each, not too bad.
EDIT - Duh, I see you said you got it from the Hero forums.
Seidio hasn't released their 3500 mAh extended battery for the Evo yet. I'm patiently waiting, as I bought that battery for my hero. I went from charging every day, to every other day.

I like what they did with the rear door. I hope they bring out a hard-case to also work with this battery. To keep it then, they could just cut out the back of the case in the middle where the battery extrudes. The rear cover will provide significant protection anyways.
the seidio batteries are awesome but they are worthless if you dont have the extended case that goes with it.. id just wait for the 3500mah for the evo instead of the one for the eris cause your gonna have the case problem
I wish they would add two more mm to the battery and do 4500mah because at that point the little bit of bulk added doesn't really matter.
/b
i wonder how hot that 3500 will get, i'd rather the 1750 and not change the dynamics of the back case.
apparently only a couple of the batteries on batteryboss come close to their rated mah, i wonder what the evo 1500mah will come in as....
what is the biggest mAh you can buy without changing the back cover? I like my EVO thin.
I believe the highest mah you can get while keeping the evo slim is the 1750 by Seidio. But for 40+ dollars I dont think an extra 250 is worth it
I just wish they would make the battery 1-1.5mm thicker and add whatever they can to that... Then we wouldn't have to change the back.
*Here's where I am horrified to find out I am the only one who's battery cover doesn't really fit on the phone*

Id just wait for the charging case thats comming out.
I wonder if the 2150mah OEM for the TP2 will fit into the evo, and I wonder how much the case will have to be extended. It is the only battery that tests at 100%.
Will the 1350 battery for the Eris work on the evo? I know the capacity is smaller, but will it fit and work?

Does it give the same results as the seidio battery that goes for $69.99?
Just trying to get some info before I "get what I paid for"
did you try searching first? Theres tons of threads on this battery. I love it and I think its great, I use it every day and it protects the camera lens. defiantly worth the money, forget that sedio ripoff battery unless your rich.

I got my batteries from this guy. They are amazing for the price, not as good as seido but they do hold a charge. I charge mine on the charger it comes with only after I know they are completely dead. I can tell I get about 30-40% more battery life out of them compared to stock, just make sure you cycle them a bunch once you get them. After a few complete drains and full charges they do pretty well. Well worth the money. for 10 more bucks u can get another battery and charger.

I have 2 of these and 2 Seidios. The Seidio's are much better. (I only paid $50 and $45 (one was used from someone with an Incredible on eBay, really is exactly the same battery tho).
The Seidio's have been tested at batteryboss.org to actually be around 2800mAh, which is still about 90% better than stock battery.
After using the 3500mAh Chinese ones, I get the feeling they are actually more around 2100-2150mAh (just my guess, won't know for sure until batteryboss tests them), which is only about 40% better than stock.
Lots of info on the ebay batteries all around. I have the 3000mah and love it. I can finally go all day without charging my phone. I dont even have to think about my battery any more because no matter what it wont be dead before I'm going to bed at night. It would be nearing dead before around lunch time sometimes.
From what I have read though, is that all of these ebay batteries are just 2600mah batteries with different stickers on them....Either way, it last me longer than what I need it to, so I am very happy with it.
Do the 2700, 3000, 3200, and 3500mAH batteries on eBay all seem to come with the same rear cover and make the Evo equally thick, or are the smaller batteries a little bit thinner than the largest ones and sold with slightly lower-profile covers?
Is there a way to buy these for that price without ebay? I got banned over $10. I looked around the cheapest I could find was $50.

This is what the MAH seems around, on ebay this would prob be 10 bucks but since you got banned this was the cheapest i found. I wonder if anyone has tried using these back covers with the seidio battery. I bought the 3500mah ebay battery they just have a higher mah sticker on them but i will post results after 5 or 6 full discharge cycles.

So far, there are two extended battery backs: the Seidio and the "Chinese". I've not seen any others.
I saw those on Amazon, they have a couple of 3500's for 40+shipping. Ill probably just pick up one of those. Thanks.

With the battery conditioned 3 times so far, I am at 72% as we speak. I have been using moderate use with 3g enabled synce full volume and medium brightness. I have been surfing the web and I have sent out about 50 texts. Made around 5 3 minutes calls. These battery's seem to be worth the money if you don't want to spend 60 dollars. I have 2 of these batteries and 1 of them is really good and the other one is so so. The good one is the one I am using now, I am guessing it is around 2100-2500mah not close to seido bat a LOT cheaper with a better back cover. I will post pics when this thing actually dies. I am at 5 hours of awake time and 18 hours of uptime with 18 hours since unplugged. I am also overclocked to 1.2ghz with a live wallpaper running the whole time . I got mine off ebay from feitong2009. Sorry for the wall of text, I just like to help people out a little.
Yea I need one cause I stream radio over 3g alot at work, I get about 3-4 hours on a charge. If I could get at least 8 or more with a fat batt, I'll be happy.
I believe they are only rated at around 2200mah...
I have one, it's alright, I don't use it... makes the phone too far for what it's worth.
Here is the battery life at the end of the day. I turned on the phone before I went to bed and put it into airplane mode. When I woke up I did moderate use through the whole day. Good enough for me.
The ones from feitong are legit. Ice had mine for about a month and a half and I'm getting about 12-18 hrs on medium to heavy usage

Yeah, I ordered one. For $10 - why not? I'll post back my thoughts after I receive and try it out for a bit.
For those who can't but on ebay, gorillagadget has them for $20 and obostore.com has the Yooboa(sp?) 3500mah battery with ebay back for $30. Yooboa is a well known chinese battery brand.
Swyped from my supercharged Evo!
I wonder how the Yoobao stacks up to the seidio. Prob the same as the 10 dollar battery's.
I imagine it is slightly better than the ebay batteries yet still slightly under the Seidio. There is a very small difference in between them all though. All of these batteries should be within $10 of each other. Its just crazy that the Seidio is so much when it just barely out last the ebay batteries....

I have the yoobao battery with the external charger from the obostore. I get 2 days of moderate to heavy use. The most i have got was 83 hours from light to moderate use. I'm running Freshes rom. Theirs a big difference in the battery life if you use the external charger.
Has anyone bought any of the 3500mah extended batteries off ebay? $30-40 seems really cheap for that. I know they're from china but can anyone tell me about how much more battery life ill actually get with one? Thanks
And if anyone has a picture of how much bigger it makes ur evo thatd be great...

Get the ones from china; you can get them for like $1, and 10$ for shipping...
and the 3500Mah battery gives you 2.33x more battery over stock.
Well ya I know its technicly 2.33x more but are the batteries actually that big? Do u have one? Thanks

Yea, you can easily go a day on that battery. With some under/over clocking you can get 2 day+.

I got 3 days on a 1750 battery from BB that is the same size as the stock battery.
all depends on what you setup to do what.
also, the extended batteries do make your phone huge. At least to me it seems huge. Then again. I am from the iphone, and every iphone, specially the iphone 4, makes the evo look fat as it is.

you bought the 1750mah platinum series by seido at best buy? that one is lithium polymer, thats how they can get the 1750mah rating in the stock form factor. how is the battery? build quality, temperature while in use, heavy use, charging?

the temp is in the same ranges as my stock battery, if not slightly cooler to be honest. My phone would feel hot say while charging with the stock battery, my phone stays cool when charging with the seido battery.
as for build quality, it seems just fine, except the cover around the battery is a little loose, cannot say for sure if it is this battery as a whole or just mine, but it doesn't seem to cause any problems other than my OCD kicks in when I have to pull the battery out haha.
I got my eBay China 3500 mah battery 2 week ago and I love it. Problem is it took 2 months to get here since it came straight from China. But, hey it only cost $7 so I cant complain. My phone can finally last a full day under heavy use. Heavy as in constant YouTube and web browsing. Plus wifi, 4G and gps stays on all day. I plan to order another 7 dollar battery for backup.
I ordered a two pack, 2 batteries and two backs w/ external charger. There are two evo's in the house that use them and both work wonderful. I use mine all day under heavy use, mainly bluetooth music streming to my vehicle. I can go a day and half maybe, but I charge every night. My wife can use hers for three days with light use, facebook and crap. I spent $18 including shipping and the phone feels much better in hand, I prefer the extra heft. Here are a few pictures next to an american quarter for size (too lazy to grab other phone and swap batteries).
Hope this helps. It is very cheap, you should just do it, if you don't like it sell 'em on craigslist.

Ive looked around abit and the reviews are mixed for all batteries.
I was wondering your guys honest opinion on a few ive looked at.
3500 mAh Gorilla Gadget: http://gorillagadgets.com/samsung-epic-4g-extended-battery-3500mah-with-back-plate.html
Hyperion 3500 mAh: http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Sams...4JFS/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1324412744&sr=8-6
Seidio Innocell 3300 mAh: http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innoce...8EYM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1324412744&sr=8-3
Im mainly looking into Hyperion and Gorilla Gadget, Seidio is a bit expensive
i Currently can get 8-10 Hours with med-heavy usage depending on how much i game. i can probably get around 20 Hours with minimal use just texting and bare bones. im running Starskys Rom 1.5, Samurai 3.30 Ninja, NO OC/UV on VR l/0 scheduler and conservative. What would be the best battery to get out of those and is it honestly worth it?
Any suggestions are appreciated
I have been using the gorilla gadget battery for just under a year. I bought it because of the price. I still only seem to get 10 to 12 with heavy usage (work and personal phone) but with light usage I have gone 20+.
I am running CM7.
Keep in mind though it does take a nice light thin phone and bloats it. And it definitely adds some weight.
Doesn't fit in a pocket quite as comfortably as the stock battery Al though I have gotten used to it at this point.

How is it compared to the 3500 mah batteries
I've heard that the Samsung 1800 mAh battery for the Epic Touch works just as well as the generic 3000mAh batteries.
Yeah, id have to say the 3500, with the added clutter isn't worth it but that's just my opinion. The 1800 pops right in and lasts a good 14 hours with a lot of usage.
Another thing to consider is where the battery is made. My factory 1500 was china, and the samsung 1800 I ordered was from japan. The difference and quality is noticeable.

Here's the best option. The Seidio 3300 battery. This is the new version and uses all japanese cells, high quality.
But regardless of what extended batter you get, you must also purchass the Mugen extended batter door. This is by far the best extended batter door and feels perfit in my hands, I've held them all. Fits snuggly too.

I highly doubt that...when I was still stock, I could kill my battery within a few hours just playing Gameloft games. I find it incredibly hard to believe that you're streaming Pandora for 6+hrs and still have plenty of battery life left. As for what is or isn't needed, those are the things I use regularily...some would consider me a power user, always running overclocked, screen on full brightness when I use it, etc...so I'm guessing you're the type who is more concerned w/ battery life instead of performance. You admit you used your phone a little bit for texts, I use mine all the time for texts, both using Handcent for friends here in the U.S. and WhatsApp for my GF in Dubai...we have different battery needs, but I can guarantee your 1500mah isn't going to last longer than my 3500mah battery, generic or not.
I'm not sure if these batteries are any good, but not much risk if anyone wants to try them out. $4 + $2 shipping.

Don't bother. I have that same battery, it's crap. It barely lasts longer than the stock battery.
Ive been seeing those batteries around at local cell shops. I really dont feel too cozy with buying batteries like those. Wonder how good the quality is on them. My friend got one similar on ebay a while back ago but he regularly switches over from that one to the stock battery for some odd reason.
Yeah they are okay and will last you longer then your stock, but life wise they will live a short life and be prone to overheating and possibly even exploding. That price sounds like its to good to be true only because it is. Spend the extra money and get a sprint or seidio battery which will actually last you.
I got one of those, has to go through 5 charge cycles before it has the added kick... I don't mind the fact that it is a cheap one, all I care is that it lasts longer than the stock one... if it has a shorter life than the $50 ones, I don't care, I can just buy another one.

I bought these batteries but I found it much more relaxing to walk around with 2 M80's is each pocket.
Looks like the one I got from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/4G-3500mAh-Ex...Y68C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328647358&sr=8-1
Getting worse and worse after each charge, no barely lasting the day. Has same problem as stock. As soon as you pull it off the battery charger BAM, down to 98% then downhill from there.
Anker FTW!!!!
They make great quality batteries.
I bought one of the 3500mah batteries and am getting great battery life. With CM7 and savagedzen I'm getting at least a full day with gps always on. I've gone as long as 48 hours without charging and still had life.

How heavy is your use? And are you using a external charger or via your phone?
I would think you would be getting better life than that, What was your use on the phone?
