i just want to know if any one has seen a extended battery for the mytouch slide and if so where did you see it thanks
search ebay?
The touch pro 2 battery kinda serves as one. Its 1500 mAh. I'm getting good battery life as it is stock but I just got a tp2 one on ebay for $10, its OEM and it was local. They might even be cheaper if you get it from Hong Kong or something. Its a bit thicker but fits. Going to strip off the taping on it and see if any plastic can be snipped away to make it fit perfect.
And I havnt looked to far into it but sedio also makes a 1750 mAh for the TP2 that fits under the TP2's stock battery cover. Dont know if its any bigger though physically.
I will second the touchpro2 battery. I get about 15% morwe life out of it. If you take sandpaper and round out the top-side edges its fine. Just dont go to deep or you'll trash the battery.
yea I think I killed mine by taking the tape off hehe it did fit better though. It has some metal sheet right under the tape thats like tin and all bent up now.. under that metal is the actuall battery with the tin removed it fit good but I donno if I would want to leave it like that
My TP2 battery and 16 gig just came in the mail (along with my desire )
Do i just get regular ole sandpaper from the store and then be careful not to go too deep? (twss) I got two so I am not too worried about failing.
As soon as my files copy to the SD I will be giving it a try, maybe ill post it to youtube.
I took my aunts touch pro 2 battery to test it and it does indeed work but the cover doesnt close enuff on it. I had some ideas... Maybe shave the battery cover from the inside down and bit but it might be too thin since shaving the battery might ruin it. Anyone can show a write up on how to shave the battery down so the battery cover closes properly cause I want to buy the extended slim battery for the td2 since its the same size as the regular.
I have yet to try this but...
... in searching google, I came across this site : http://bit.ly/af1zvb. They're just offering the stock battery, but you see at the bottom, under "Compatible Models" they list the Eris and Incredible. I almost want to go into a verizon store with my battery and see if they'll let me compare the sizes. Unless anyone knows someone with one of those. Of course it could just be nothing. But, if it is the same size, we could get something like this: http://bit.ly/aAyYeC. They say it works with EVO as well.
O hell yes I need to try this

Google strikes again... (in a good way)
I wrote down the part number of the battery, which is: 35H00127-04M, and a google search later it looks like it's the same battery as the Eris, Legend, Wildfire and probably a slew of others. I think I'll order that 1750mah on amazon when I get the money.
I found on ebay a eris battery that is 1500 and its like $7 and looks like it has some of the same slots and puzzle pieces as the slide's battery does. Anybody get one yet?
I have been using the 1800mAh battery that I purchased for my HTC Snap, and it is working great. I was thinking that the battery was bad when I was using my Snap, but now that it has been being used for about a week, it is lasting me throughout the day without any issues.
I just noticed that it is currently out of stock, but this is where and what I bought: http://www.mugenpowerbatteries.info.../es109514_es120302495377/Products/HLI-T7373SL

It doesn't look like it from the pictures but did you have any problems with having the cover fit properly using this battery? Did you see a great battery life improvement with this battery as well? I found the same one from amazon, but unfortunately I can't post the link because I'm a new user...but just search "HTC snap battery" and it's on the first page
Just to let everyone know that the hero battery fits perfectly in the slide and its 1500m

i just verified that the droid incredible battery fits perfectly in the slide and verizon is releasing a 2150 mah battery by the end of july for the incredible, i will be keeping an eye out for it. Edit*- Just read that this battery is not stock size. will keep looking for an alternative.

Sedio has an extended life battery for the Incredible that is 1750Mah says it fits in existing space but it is pricy at $49.95, so if it the standard Incredible fits I'm thinking so should this.
I'm new so can't post a link so just search for Seidio.

I really do not notice a great improvement, but there is improvement. It fits well, there is just the slightest bit of seperation between the cover and body.

Is that the Sprint CDMA Hero or the GSM Hero. Both according to HTC are different.
EDIT: Or they're the the same only different mAh.. But hmm if the Sprint Hero fit with no problems, unlike the TP2 one I'm sold.
Edit 2: Well it seems Sprint wants the Same HTC battery for all their HTC Phones so the Evo, Hero (CDMA) and the TP2 all use the Same RHOD160 Battery. I'm just worried about the fit since others mentioned the Back not being able to close.
Well I used the sprint hero battery the other day and it fit perfectly same size and everything

Is it the RHOD160 (35H00123-00M) Model like the TP2? It's OEM right?
The back fits just fine? That was what were mentioning before that they needed to trim it up a tad so the back would fit.
I'm thinking of getting 2. 1 for me now and 1 for my Wife when she get's her Slide.
Has anyone been able to find a extended capacity battery and cover yet? I know I for one would be willing to put up with a thicker captivate and pay say $65 for a double capacity battery. How about you?
Thanks for voting, rumor has it this thread is going to be watched by R&D So please vote!
I vote higher capacity, but same size.
That will depend on what's possibly with current battery chemistries.
The Galaxy S has a 3500 mAh option out now. It looks pretty massive with the replacement cover though.

Holy crap that thing is huge... I think I would prefer to just carry a second normal sized battery around in the evnt that I need more juice.
Unless like others said, same form factor, higher output.. or maybe slightly thicker.. but not double the thickness.
Besides, the design of the back cover for the captivate would not facilitate a battery that size.
I'm waiting for the Seidio products.
again I wouldn't mind paying the price for an extended battery with a door that has a kick stand. Something like the HTC HD2.
ROFL! wow. when I saw the beginning I was all, whaat, that's not bad. not too big.. then I noticed it wasn't the battery you were talking about o_o.. that would be a veery 'uf!' phone. I wonder if they offer a full matte body kit lol

first batt I was like "ohh wow thats AMAZING! where do I buy it!?" Then she whipped out the other batt cover!! LO!LOLOL!O!LOL I almost died laughing!! like carrying a rotary phone with you!! I hope I see someone with that so I can laugh even more
I thin i just got a flash back from the 90's when i saw that brick lol.
I guess some guys who like fat chicks might carry that fat ass phone around. I wouldn't be seen in public with that fatty.
I'll keep my sexy sleek Captivate and carry a spare battery.
hahaha, seriously. the second battery/case in the video had me rolling when i saw how big the phone got.
I could see a metal cover with a .5 mm bump in it to accommodate a larger battery couldn't harm the captivate looks too much. IMO.

larger battery but no bulk. It's 2010 people, they should be able to make 2000mah bat without bulk.
If the bulk needs to be added then the battery cover needs to keep the device looking pretty and not like an experiment done at home.

I lol'd.
Personally, I want something like THIS
But instead of having the battery pack be so contained, you spread out the battery cells throughout the entire backside of the phone. You could have as large a battery capacity wise, but you wouldn't add as much thickness.
That said I know very little of battery technology, so I don't know if what I want is even possible.

I think I might just get the mugen extended and but a rubber case that will hopefully make the phone look less ridiculous with the battery on
(Thanks to the ad on the top of the page...)

Kills two birds with one stone.
I know many of us have been anxiously waiting to see for an extended battery option from Seidio (or other reputable 3rd party), but nobody has announced one for the Captivate until now. Finally:
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4411.htm
Unfortunately, no mention of price or when it will be released as it's currently "under development" but that they have added it to their store is exciting enough!
Yeah I just saw that too, and wow 3200mah is huge!
Do you think they will make a case for it? I have the body glove that was launched with the phone. I kind of like it. Has anyone purchased from these guys before? Any experiences to share. Did you buy a case? They made a huge battery for the EVO didn't they?
This means a battery about 2 times as thick as the current one, so expect a custom back with a bumpout for battery.
The Moto Droid 2800 extended battery is $69 so this one will be between $70 and $90 - I would rather have a spare battery or an external rechargeable charger for half the price. I would never make "The Captain" thicker. No pot bellies (or junk in the trunk) on my captain just a slim toned physique.
But Seido has always made a good product - usually they can take the current sized battery and squeeze a little more in - like an 1800mAh in the current size. I hope.
Has anyone actually tried to wrap their head around what this thing will look like?
Our fancy locking closure will either make this thing hideous or cause our phones to look like the back of an Incredible (which I don't mind personally, I liked the terraced back. It reminds me of the zen like nature of steppes carved into a mountain for hillside farming.)
Either way, I want one. I'm just actually trying to fathom the design, and what will happen to the sound quality being the speaker is built underneath the battery cover.
We'll see... I don't think it will be that bad, as the Evo battery only adds "5-6mm" to the phone and that is a 3500mAh battery. But given the option, I would prefer a battery in the range of 2200-2400mAh that only adds maybe 2-3mm. But beggars can't be choosers.
If they could crank out a 1800mAh "slim" battery that does not require a cover, that would be excellent as well. They have 1750mAh for the Incredible and Evo, so who knows.
I have one of their "big" 2600 mAh batteries for my old Bold 9000 and while it put hump in its back, it fit my hand great and having that extra power was fantastic. I'll get this when it comes out.
Im totally down for this hopefully they make the back tapered and not just a straight "step" up, I'm 6 foot 3 and consequently have large hands so I wouldnt even mind my phone being a lil bit thicker.

16 reviews for a company that has been selling accessories for many years (5 that i know of) is not much of a statistic.
I can tell you that, when I was a moderator for Qusers, many people bought from Seido and never had a problem. that doesn't mean there is no problem, but everyone I know that has bought from Seido was satisfied. Their products are regularly review by major blogs, and amazon shoppers give their cases 4.5/5.
I have shopped at hundreds of sites and never filled out a review for resellerratings - so I am not sure that they are the best source for any information.
From my knowledge of the company I would not hesitate to buy from them. if they put out a 2000mAh battery that is the same size as OEM, i will buy it in a second.
I would rather leave the internal battery in place and add a accessory cover with a priority battery slot. The internal battery might have to be replaced with one a mm or two shorter to allow room for the internal battery disconect. With an internal secondary and external primary, the phone could remain in operation during battery changes. Yes, this would add a hump, but I think the phone would fit my hand better...
mm.. I really rather have the same size format but a little more juice to it..1800mAh
how much more juice would that be compared to the standard 1500 :O

I have Seidio batteries for my Canon DSRL camera and it works just as good as the original one.
Anyone know of any extended life battery for this phone yet. This is insane this phone has been out a while there should be somethin. I saw the vibrant has a 3000mah, bout to get that and just stick it in without the back cover and throw a silicon case over to hold it in. Saw that amzer has a 1600 but thats almost not worth it.

In the last 12 months, they have 3 bad reviews. Doesn't really mean anything to me, and I care even less knowing their products are fairly decent since I own some stuff of theirs for my Blackberry.

Who proof reads these things?
"Samsung launches the Power Pack EBB-U10 for the Galaxy S i9000 in Germany. The Power Pack is an external battery that attaches to the back of the phone basicallt and offers 8.5 hours talk time and 500 hours of talk time."
So is that 508.5 hours of talk time?
I want to know the best extended battery for the dinc
The battery life is terrible as everyone knows, but there has to be few that are better.
The only quality one I've seen is this: http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innoce...TF8&coliid=I16O9PYH6VHRAM&colid=3T9UU6Y0BT160
Any suggestions?

I was considering getting this extended battery; I know people grade the batteries with mAH numbers, but as mentioned above, have you noticed a significant increase in battery life compared to stock? Like something you could equate to %?
I use the Seido 1750 mAh battery as well. It gives me that little push that thenstock battery couldn't and it keeps the same form factor of the DInc because you can use the same battery door.
I too use the HTC 2150mAh battery. I changed it out and went back to stock and to a 1500mAh that I bought from HTCPedia (will be returning as it looks worn) but I always come back to the 2150. I didn't want to change the form factor of my DInc but the performance is 2nd to none. I think now it's time to get one of those cases from Seidio...
i'm still looking for good extended batteries
The 2150 is a great choice, used mine for months until I decided I wanted a sexier case. There is still a couple of case choices for the 2150 but they're limited.
Great battery life on it though, I honestly never worried about my battery life at all when I had it on.

depends are you coming from stock battery? If you are then it's a very big step up in battery life.
Personal preference here, but the added weight and size suits the phone well- and with that black cover case it all goes together nicely. If you are particular about having your phone very thin and light then you may not want to get it.
Amazon looks like a great spot to pick them up:
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Incredibl...R0ZA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312953980&sr=8-1
I bought mine from amazon but they were in the 40-50$ range when I did, looks like they've dropped the price since then.

yeah, looking for somewhere cheap, hours being slashed down to 1 to 2 days at my job, and i can't easily afford that, as well as an 81 dollar bill (may end up on sprint soon if they are bringing wimax 4g here like they said.)
I have the 1500 evo 4g battery that I got right from Sprint. It pretty much destroys the stock 1300 inc battery. By destroy, I mean that I can get about 24 hours out of it if I charge it when I get home from work, wait until it's fully charged and then unplug it. So it's pretty much not doing anything overnight. I have the htc 2150 and it's just too damn big.
