Now there is a 2400 mAh battery. The manufacturer is Chinese and they claim this battery will last 100% longer than the original. Oh and the battery is also 100% bigger than the original so they supply the customised back battery cover.

So to sum on, there is a better battery, at least it looks like it has better battery life, so its your choice to get another or to get this one?
I think I keep the original battery.
This one is way too bulky and I think the Artemis is quite sexy the way it is.
i thing, it is joke

1000% AGREE !!!!!
Man, that makes the Artemis look ugly.
when you have business trips, you will change opinion.
This is a nice battery.
I am using it
I agree with what biou said, go on a longer trip where you have no access to electricity.
I bought a double capacity battery for my Ipaq rx3715 which already has one of the best battery life on the market. With the big battery I managed 40 hours continuous use with minimal settings, 20 with normal and 12 with heavy use like video or 8 with extra heavy use, so video + WLAN + big headphones.
When I watch videos my Artemis lasts about 8-10 hours but when I surf the web power drains so fast! I think it lasts for max. 3-4 hours with WLAN on.
I might buy one of these or I buy an emergency charger wit mini-USB. I still can't decide which one I want to use.
Where and whec is it going to be available? Shipping to eu?
I agree that it is ugly, but going on a hike in wood i would better have this fat one as a spare in case i got lost. Happened to me - first thing u notice when lost in wood is how fast gps battery starts to drain and that brings surge of adrenalin/panic.

I have a similar one to this which I use on my extended trips away from the office which also generate heavy phone use and often using a BT headset.
On the positive side it can last up to 3 times longer than the original battery without charge especially when using BT functions.
On the negative side however with the extended battery in use the PDA does not fit the desktop cradle or my GPS car holder.
In my opinion well worth having for those times away from an AC or car charge.
I want to buy one, but what battery is the best? I don't really trust all the cheap batterypacks on E-bay, do you guys have some experiences with a good battery?
Please help me pick one. Thanks
I bought mine from eBay and have not experienced any problems at all.
My battery is black in colour with white text. 2500mAh 3.7VDC and clearly marked for the DOPOD P800W so should be easy to identify on pics of the eBay listings.
My only word of caution is that the two top (closest to camera) plastic tabs on the battery cover are somewhat exposed and therefore fragile when removing the cover and can snap off from repeated swapping of extended battery back to standard battery.
My first cover tabs broke and I bought a second extended battery just to get a new cover when I snapped the tabs of the extended battery cover. Now I leave the extended battery on all the time.
I can do that because I located a different desktop cradle where I could cut some of the plastic away to accommodate my Artimas with the extended battery fitted. I also have replaced my OEM card holder with a universal style so I no longer have the issues which required me to swap back to the standard battery.
Extended battery is great and IMHO not too bulky despite the initial look in the photos.
Well I decided to go pick up a Original 1930 mAh DROID X Motorola Extended battery. I USE my phones to the hilt, I sync everything, use everything, and take full advantage of all the features like you should when you have a device like these. All in all I am not a battery scrimper, I have a charger at home, one in the car, and a USB hanging out of my laptop everywhere. LOL. I have always hated the Tumor that sticks off the phone when you are using a EB's, but since you can barely Moto's EB is even in the phone I thought I would give it a shot.
Now to make this to the point..... When I put the battery in new it was at 30% I ran it down to the 5% warning and red blinking light. After a full charge from the Wall charger (Which only took 2 Hours BTW) I pulled it off and ran it "business as usual"... Calls (About 2 hour 20 mins worth), Browsing, Chat, Pics, Texts, Apps, Wifi on, Downloads, Played Rock band for awhile, Full sync to all 5 Gmail accounts, FaceBook every hour and Twitter the same. Plus a 1300mHz OC (Low Voltage) with out Screen off or battery low profiles (I thought that would be unfair). Here are the findings....
Total Time Unplugged: 14 Hours 34 Minutes
My setup is in my Sig but... basicly it is Rooted, I stripped ALL Bloat from the Stock ROM, and like I said before Droid OC to 1300 (Low Voltage), Also... GoTo Lockscreen
So now.... I can leave my chargers at home and plug in once overnight. I have to say, this is the best $50 to spend on the phone.
NOTE: This was only after the FIRST charge, after 3 complete charges I can only assume it will be better.
EDIT>>> For a comparison... Running the stock battery I would be at 20-30% by 12:00 (Noon) Easily

I'm with you on that. The fact that it adds barely anymore thickness to the actual phone and the amount of power you gain from it made it an easy purchase for me.

Yep, I believe it is 1mm... Which is nothing. And actually, the device feels a less top heavy and it fits in my hands quite nicely now.

One thing that is concerning to me is why does the first screen show your battery at 33oC? Were you charging at that time, though the icon doesn't seem to show that. I hardly get 28oC at 1.3ghz stress test while charging.

I did notice my temp did go up after installing the EB... The screens where taken at the 5% warning.
As I said, that was the first run of the battery. Now after the second full charge I have been steady at 29c. Maybe a conditioning or burn of the battery?? Can't really say.

I have this battery too, and I use the standard battery door with it. It is a little snug, but it does fit. This avoids any excess bulk. I have used it this way for a few months now. I am running apex and overclocked to 1.3 and my battery life is great.
I've had this battery for quite a while now and I've found my battery dying A LOT faster than it used to haha. When I first got the battery, it was amazing, now.... not so much haha. Been doing charge cycles and clearing battery stats but it still remains bad haha. Still much better than the stock battery though haha.
ive always been tempted to get the extended battery and today i finally purchased it. Your review definitely helped get me to do the obvious and purchase one

Verizon and Motorola should give you a commission!
Due to your review, I went back to the Verizon store and bought the battery. Heck, the salesperson never told me that they even had this available, or I would have bought it with the phone!
I'm running it in an Otterbox Defender case, with the battery cover that came with the battery. So far no issues, but I'm getting much better battery life.
Thanks!
I'm going to the VZW store today to get this battery, thanks for your great review!

Hey, I have an Otterbox Defender and I have been holding off on picking up one of these batteries. I really want the extended battery but I don't know how it would work with the case.
So the battery does come with an extra back plate for it? Have you tried the battery on it's own without a back plate and just using the Otterbox case and if so, how does it fair?
me too! just got it today!
The battery comes with its own battery cover. It didn't feel thinner, but a bit heavier. I'm guessing it's a heatsink.
I put the battery in, put the cover on, and put the Otterbox case on. It was a tighter fit, I had to be a little careful in ensuring that the two halves of the otterbox case locked together. But it's together and I didn't have to modify anything. I've been using it ever since, and haven't had any problems. And I *love* the extra battery life! I routinely have 40% left at the end of the day, and I'm a pretty avid user. I have an Exchange account on push, gmail on push, and use google voice constantly.

I just purchased the 3200mah battery and the Extended Convert Rugged Case for my TB and figured id write up a quick review as fast as possible.. I have few words to say about the experience other than that battery is ****in awesome! I got at least 20 hours of easy battery life and 3G has been on all day watching youtube and everything i can throw at it! From 7am till about 11:50pm is when it died. Thats is a very long time! Oh and forgot to mention it was its first full charge Battery package said it would take 5-6 charges before it becomes fully stabilized. I worked in a town that had hardly any service for part of the day.. anyways here is the chart. it shows your just how long it took to fully charge and to fully drain. The case feels very nice and strong. Was dissapointed it was just a basic screen scratch protector IT will have to do. This combo costed me 119 and some change.. So get your wallet ready if you want this bad boy.
Pictures below should be everything you want to see
After first day of using. Think she did pretty good

Overall a very happy camper, Yes it comes with the clip but its out in the car so... yea.. its just your basic seidio clip with the flap on top like for the droid 1.
So got any updates on this? Has the life gotten better?
Yes the battery life still gets about 22hours on the chart. U can go to work at 7am play on it all day and spend the rest of the night trying to kill it. I always have like 40-60% left when i finally get home about 6-7pm. And i use it alot. Im very happy with it. And almost forgot i never turn off 3g anymore lol. Im at 45% right now and it says i still have around 9 hours before total discharge. Its damn good

Thanks
edit: emailed seido, they do have the metal contacts
BUMP - battery clips on back of battery door?
VZW customer service has stated battery doors without the metal clips for the antenna will impact the phone's reception. Can anyone please validate whether the battery cover for the 3200 mAh battery has metal clips for the antenna on back? THANKS!
I purchased a 3500 mah battery which lasts forever. The only thing is that the metal connections on the battery door are not the same. This causes me to never go into 4g and I drop calls a lot.

This is consistant with what I have heard. I was also told not to buy the cheap no name extended battery on Ebay, because the battery door does not have the metal clips and will not get reception.
I have this battery.. pretty sweet. cycled it maybe 4-5 times so far. I keep doing the charge all the way with power on, turn it on, 99% it will read. turn if off, and let it charge till it turns green again. how many times should I do this before I just say screw it? Im seeing over 2 days of use. and I text constantly. the screen on auto brightness is my main drain. BAMF 1.8 stripped here, Immoygen kernel, 1.4 ghz O/C all day long. I used to get maybe 12 hours if i was lucky on the stock battery, I use my phone all day long, bluetooth, talk, usually no gps but always 4g service. Anyways if anyone else has this battery please post up results, I can show my juice saver battery stats.
I get 4g no problem. my case has metal clips. not sure what the problem is.
Just let it charge.. if its 99% deal with it. It stops charging at 100% to keep from overcharging the battery. Just use it and plug up bfore bed. Calibrate it monthly or every weekend like me. Just let it die which it hardly ever will
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
what is your correct method of calibrating the battery? I'm working on it, think I have enough discharges now to start using it normally. do u turn it off at night to charge or leave it on?
anyone have a calibrating method they would like to share?
I reecently purchased the Seidio 3200 mAh battery and Convert extended case aswell and I can't wait to try it out. I'm not currently rooted so we'll see how it goes.
I also purchased a Hyperion 3500mAh battery so ill hopefully have battery life for days without being a slave to the 120vdc wall socket

Hey guys, i know alot of people have been looking for a good battery and i think ive found it.
2600mah battery that comes with a plastic door for the captivate.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Extended-Batter...Accessories&hash=item2563d966b8#ht_1074wt_923
ive had it for a week and the battery life is pretty solid.
just last night i was on my phone for 16 hours and still had 37% left.
battery door fits perfectly, it has not given me any problems.
however i do suggest that you charge up the battery to 100%, delete the battery stat, then let the phone die completely and charge it with the phone off to give you the best battery possible. (this is what i found was best to do when getting a new battery)
so let me know what you guys think. and good luck!
This is probably no different than the 3500mah battery. I wonder if this is TRUELY 2600 or is it 2200 like the 3500 battery is.
Let us know what type of battery life you are usually getting, like real stats to compare with.

I know it has to do alot with how each individual uses their phone but with cognition 4.5 i get 15-35 hours from every charge. My wifi is on almost 100%of the day as well. Make sure you are letting your battery drain completely or as much as possible between charges.

I never turn GPS off, and leave WIFI on at home all the time. Also Blue Tooth. I get 24 hours often, but, if I do heavy use, ie GPS mapping, display on a lot, or games, I can't get 8 hours out of it.
I"m interested in a larger battery for when I go on vacation and want to have the GPS on a lot while walking around. That's why I interest in the larger battery.
I do have extra batteries, but as noted by many, not being the OEMs, they are less than 1500, and show it on how much time they provide.
Will be interesting to see how this one does.

I've read the tread on the 3200.
I decided on this 2600. Received it yesterday. I'll post back how it goes. Need to do a couple cycles and get the battery calibrated.
Purchased one...Battery life is much much better. thanks for the suggestion.
will this fit with a rubber/silicon cover? by otter box
There is a post somewhere of the Otterbox with cutout for the battery. I don't think it will work without cutting out the back.
I have one ordered and plan to do that.
FYI...my first run on the battery: it went 36 hours, and had 9% left when I plugged it in to charge. Usage included browsing, 3-4 short phone calls, 15 min of GPS usage. Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth on 100% of time, email, Pulse reader; and the last hour was used playing music through a blue tooth headset.
[EDIT]
This is the post about cutting the Otterbox, with a picture.

That is my question. It's great to have a better battery, but what about something that will still fit the phone and protect it?
Are there any cases that wil fit with this bigger battery on it?
Look at the post above, he added a link to someone who cut out the back of their case. So the answer is floating between yes and no. There don't seem to be any that are designed to fit around a phone with a larger battery, but if you don't mind your phone looking pretty ghetto, you can cut out the the back of your current case. lol
Just bought one. I don't use a case, so no worries there. We'll see how the battery life is.
It looks like the auction in the op sold out, so I got another 2600 mah battery on ebay. item# 290570071497 (n00b = no linky). Received it yesterday. There's a sticker on the box that says it needs 3 full cycles to reach, "maximum performance." It's been 19 hours since I unplugged it, played 4 hours of youtube videos and 3 hours of other heavy use, at 37% currently. Running Mosaic VI and didn't reset the stats.
Does anyone know of a battery that is the same size as the original, but with a higher capacity? I want more battery life with out the added bulk. Even just a little more capacity would be nice.
I'm assuming that this won't fit well inside the Body Glove case?

Same here. Calibration helps a lot.
An additional 150ma, if that number is even true, you won't notice any difference compared to the stock battery. That small of increased capacity isn't enough to be noticeable.

If it's accurate, it's a touch over 8% gained. Rough math, but if you get 12 hours use out of stock 1800mah, then 1950mah will give you an additional 57 minutes.
That is a horrid looking battery door. I too have no problems making an 18 hour day on my stock battery. Wonder if a Tpu case will stretch over the battery with out the battery door.
The extended cover looks better physically than in picture. Its rather it's easy to grip the phone now with the extended battery with my big hands. Battery still holding out nicely as before.
My extended battery (note: it's actually 3800mah) and door came today and I must say, I am damn impressed.
This phone, even with extra-deep door, is thinner than the Galaxy S1 I just came from, so I'm strongly considering leaving it on all the time.
The extra depth and curved door is also good for holding the phone in your hand.
It's a great purchase. I bought generic off eBay for under $10.
I will say this is better than generic
it's on par with trexcell although both are of same mAh
I just purchased the 1950 slim version. Have been using it for 3 days. I got Battery Monitor Pro so I could determine true battery amperage. It's telling me 2366mAh right now but I need to give it a few more days before it settles in.
Hey nubsors I've heard those apps cant truly measure mAh curious to see how accurate it ends up being. I have a generic battery and I'm curious about its real rating.
place a stock oem battery and have it measure it
Any of you wanna send me one to test?? I'd gladly test one with my equipment and publish it over at my Epic4G Battery Reviews thread. I'd also be curious if it'd fit under one of my generic cases (regular Epic4G here) just for kicks but I can review the battery no matter what.
I'll send it right back after I get 3 solid runs of collected data for consistency.

Well all I know is I definitely get better performance than the OEM.

Frifox, Gotta be careful, the high temperatures in the car will probably kill your battery... Probably want to check the charge before you take any long road trips where you might really need it.

Estimated mAh for the battery has dropped significantly in the past three days from over 1950 to 1685.
