just looked on ebay found this.
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-2600Mah-EXTENDED-BATTERY-DOOR-SPRINT-HTC-EVO-4G-/280534385964?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item415127052c
I have to say that looks better than the 3500ma from seidio.
it does!!! i just ordered it just so i can take that back and do the carbon fiber DIY on it. I think it would look awesome
also is the 2600mah and the 3600mah battery the same size
I'm tempted, but does anyone know anything about the make of the battery? Thats awfully cheap.. i'd be scared of starting on fire
heh
Wow a fat battery door for less than $15 shipped.
Now, lets see some normal sized battery doors on ebay.
Its cheap enough, ill bite. I got a 2300mah battery and door from an unknown manufacture when I had a G1 and it worked great, im willing to give this a try. Ill report back once I get it
im half tempted to get this... ive got a 3500 mah batttery from seidio that i got for my hero, it would fit in my evo just fine but i dont have a back cover
i might just have to send the seller a message and ask how "thick" the battery is... if its anywhere close to seido's 3500 mah unit ill jump on it

look at the picture that shows the inside of the battery door...
it clearly shows the holes for both flashes
I don't want any battery that requires a larger back cover. Im waiting for a 2000mAh to come out that will fit as is!
I can't believe how badass the EVO is now. I've had mine for like a month exactly and I get impressed by the amount of accessories popping up for it every week. GO EVO! 15$! count me in even if its crap! I think I spent 15$ on lunch today and thats already looooong gone....ew

I used seidios online chat to ask a couple questions...
the rep told me 1. they do not accept paypal(just to ask) and 2. you can get the extended battery door alone for around $15 but you have to call them as it "is part of a package which they have to break up"
that will fit your 3500 hero battery (which i have aswell)
done and done.
Ew. Looks like a throwback to the Motorola Microtac days. Why would anyone want to turn their phones into a brick when they can have 3000mAh available to them by carrying an extra battery in their wallet? Crime deterrent ?
my hands are big so bring on the big back door and no need to charge during the day

I bought one of these off eBay a month ago, it's about the same as the OEM battery, so it's a good backup, but not a replacement.
Just installed it. Here are the pics
That looks Phat!! lol How long do you think the battery life is going to be I *might* think about buying it if it is that good
Can you take some more pics (not over a glass table, lol)?? A flat surface view would help.
Yeah sorry. I took those at lunch break. I'll post better ones later. Didn't have time to charge it yet either.

cool, hope it works out. need another evo to take a pic next to it
You got yours from Ebay right? When did you order? I'm hoping mine comes today. I got the 3000 version but they are probably the same thing.

Is it me or does the case look like it is covering a portion of the camera lense. You cannot see the outside metal ring and the bottom of the camera seems to be covered. Was just wondering.
It does cover the red part but doesn't impede the lens or pics.
Sent from my PC36100
Now we need to find a case that will squeeze on with this new battery...
Thanks for the pics and hopefully the good news about battery life
Saw this post today and had to order myself one. Looking foward to a couple more pics. I agree with shadowhawk, a case that fits around it would be nice. Dropped mine out of my jeep onto gravel just yesterday and I think the rubber case might have saved it. Probably make that brick even bigger though

LOL....jk.
Definitely tell us how it goes battery life wise. Also...assumine there is no gel case that will cover all that..hmm. (I went the 1500's wth charger route...just now testing today.)

Actually I mentioned the case because I dropped mine for the first time today. It hit the floor at work and the body glove case came apart, the face flew into the air. But the case did its job, not a scuff or scratch.
Here is one more pic from my phone.
Sent from my PC36100
it actually isnt ugly looking like most other cases. its actually pretty good. it also has (as per the pic) that this case + battery has the added bonus of now protecting the camera lens. how much was it, and do you got an ebay link?
I actually ended up getting the 3000 mAh model for $15.37. Probably the same thing. (I hope its no fatter). I can't post links yet but you can search New 3000mAh Extended Battery+Charger For Sprint EVO 4G.
Can we get more pictures? I am waiting on my 3000mAh and door.
post more pics please I ordered this and am still waiting on it
I drained the battery today and then charged oit with my r/c charger and only put back in 1500mah. I'm suspecting this battery is not a 2700mah pack but a substandard 1500mah pack.

I also received mine today but sadly am returning it. I have 4 of the cheap HK batteries off ebay that I switch out during the day and was thinking I would just get one of these instead. After getting it, putting it on and seeing the bulk it added and how incredibly hard it was to get the Siedio backplate off again, I am thinking that I am going to just stick with the cheapo HK batteries. I use my phone heavily during the day and one of these batteries usually lasts me until I get home around 5pm. I switch out a fresh one at 5pm and I use it off and on until I go to bed, usually between 9pm-11pm which I leave it in overnight off the charger. In the morning, I switch out a fresh one and off to work and the cycle repeats itself. If I end up getting on a long tech support call with Cisco or another vendor, I always have a freshly charged battery in my pocket as well. Well, since I am done with this wall of text about my battery situation that pretty much has nothing to do with this topic, I will end it now.
Thanks for listening.
Even $50 is a complete ripoff. I have 6 spare batteries, all from ebay that cost less than $50 combined. I don't care that they might not have the advertised capacity, but neither does the seidio (according to battery boss) and guaranteed my two cheap 1800mah batteries will easily outlast the 3500mah seidio one for a fraction of the price. So what if I might have to swap one out at some point during the day? On top of it, they don't need to use that HIDEOUS cover that is required for the Seidio.
I once placed an order for an 1800mAh battery one ebay and it ended up being worse than stock. Luckily i was able to get a refund.
Can anyone recommend a seller on ebay for an extended battery?
how much time did you give it to stabilize and what charging method did you use. they are all good sellers for the most part, you to filtering down by type of product. you might want to try looking for the seidio brand or sprint extended batts the off brands are hit and miss because a lot of them are out dated(because they buy in bulk and cell til there gone no matter how old the product) lithium ion batteries with high discharge rates, they might advertise as polymer but ship something totally different so be aware. hope this helps.
How many times has it been revealed that a lot of those Chinese/HK sellers put crap batteries and solder the connections to the housing of a 3500 mAh ones?
Agreed that their housing looks better than Seidio's (what were they thinking?) but that's all they're good for.
Get the real thing if you want real results.

I have to agree with you on Chinese batts they don't nearly last as long as they say but they are better then stock.
I have used both seidio and Chinese 3500 batts and actually I prefer the seidio back
Even though i thought i wouldn't
And they made it that way so they could use holster still with out makeIng a giant case to go witha giant back.
Oh and back on topic I got two seperate orders from seller speedy-China they each came in 10 days and they were fine for what they are

I got some for 50 cents on ebay and they rock great battteries
I would be interested in knowing anyone was able to get a good cheap extended battery on ebay and from who.
I just ordered a 3500mAh battery from a guy named motel268 on ebay.
It shipped out a day after buying it (I got it for $0.01 cents plus $10 shipping). Hopefully it'll rock.
If not... it was ten bucks.
motel268? i gotta pass based on the name alone

Got mine of Ebay for Quicksellers.. Here is the link. Suppossed to be here in a few days.. So I'll report back after I check it out. How are you guys breaking these in? I have heard to charge them and let them drain completely and I've also heard Li-Ion batteries don't need that. Also heard to let it charge for a while after green light comes on... How is this possible if it stops charging after that?
ok.. won't let me post a link, but look for the Quicksellers vendor... I paid $11 shipped... Its more expensive from the same seller now, the price seems to fluctuate.
not too sure about battery's but i sell parts laptops on ebay

and parts phones
(will be posted tomorrow)

sorry for the shameless self promotion
Most my inventory is on Amazon it's hard to make a dime on Ebay but I do have a few listings up.
I'm definately not the cheapest but I have 100% feedback for a reason... I invest in Cadex equipment to verify what I purchase and RFQ directly with the manufacturers per those specs
My amazon store is www.gizmax.com
Not trying to sell you anything I'm sure there are other sellers out there just as good and maybe better

FYI , I wrote Mugen Power about making a high capacity extended battery for our Tmobile SGSii T989 and they wrote back and said it would release before Christmas. Im planing on getting one and will update the OP with a review when they release.
thats the same person i talk to and he/she says it be release in november...well its december..
That would be sweet. Battery life is already great on this phone given how it is on so many other android phones. I bet I could easily go 2 days without charging with a better battery!
A little FYI about Mugen Batteries. Check this out.
i had mugen on my G2 and it was good! and i am a power user, i can drain it in 12 hours, i use wifi hot spot alot but nonetheless it is worth it.

That's interesting, but what if the battery on the left was a 1800mAh battery, that would make it a 3000 mAh battery. I don't know what to think about the picture but I have used Mugen batteries before with good results.

that's the reason why i've never purchased their batteries,

there are no cases that fit!!!!!! when you use them, so that's a big no no for me

Probably not the most convenient but I stick with OEM batteries, they're cheap enuf on ebay and having 2 batteries works just fine. Also the cases fit fine along with the OEM car dock. OEM might be more expensive, but it's the real deal
I think AllGamer has stated this in a different thread already much better than me
The inability to fit a case with these extended batteries prompted me to import a T-Moble PowerSkin, at 70.99 USD after a 20% discount this thing should have came with a bj or something.
It doubles the thickness, i am not sure how i feel about the quality of it yet, it feels good to the touch but it doesn't feel like it fits the device tightly, and to transfer files via usb you have to remove the case because they did not enable usb pass-through from the case charging port to the port that connects the case to your phone. The thickness i can deal with i knew it was coming, i like the idea it was a case too, but it kind of feels like it fits like ****. like its been stretched out by taking it on and off multiple times.
Not that i can bother returning it, i'll just have to eat it. Shipping it back would cost half the price of the case, put in the value of my time to complain to them and im sure at least 2 emails/calls. What can yah do.
Can you post a link for where you ordered the powerskin from and post some pics?

They're customer service is actually very good. I emailed them about a blackfriday code 2 days after I made my order and they refunded me 15%.. today I emailed about not receiving the case and they sent me a replacement for free and said that if both cases come, I'm welcome to keep both
