noob needs an extended battery - myTouch 4G Accessories

So are the extended batteries really extended? What is the best one same size?

I never knew there were extended batteries. I just bought a couple extra batteries and a dock charger off ebay for about $10 so I will always have a couple backup batteries. I know this doesn't answer your question but it does give you an idea. later

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?

[Q] Battery/Case Questions

Which would you get? Also Does The Knockoff Batteries with the door fit in the seidio extended cases without modifications? If it doesn't fit can I just buy a seidio extended door and use the knockoff battery? I appreciate the feedback and sorry if this has been posted I'm just having a hard time choosing.

That's a good deal I found 2 3500mah, 2 doors, 1 external charger, a warranty, and getsu delivered in. 1-3 business days for $33. I was trying to figure out if the chinese batteries can fit in the seidio rugged extended case with the backs they came with. I don't want to mod the case

I bought the sprint extended battery cover for $10 on ebay. It will fit with any of the ebay battery's with no mods.
Hi
I bought this battery almost a week ago from this seller.
3500mAh Extended Battery + Cover for Sprint HTC EVO 4G(this is my first post and it dosen,t aloow me to post a link
I bought mine for only 10$, and the seller shipped that really fast.The only probleam with china batteries is that those battery die relly fast, like for me it can keep my phone up only for 8 hours(I usually watch alot of movie, video, and internet serching).I tried every way that you can get better battery life(advance killer set setup to kills all app uto, GPS off, 4G off,churg battery for 8 hour and turning phone off and churg the battery for another hour). But for me that battery is fine as long as keep the churg for 8 hours(Its alomt 2 times keeps churge better than stock battery) but if you want to spend 30$ and get 2 junk battery why you don't spend 50$ and get a battery that it can keep churge more than 2 junk battery?
Do you have a link I've been searching or what did you search?

(Q) Cheap batteries + charger?

Hi all just wondered if anyone has any experience of the cheap 1500 mah batteries + charger bundles from ebay im sure u know the type i mean... I already have a cheap 2600 mah battery with the replacement back cover and the performance of that is good but im finding the extra bulk of the phone a bit of a drag. I went back to my old battery and cover the other night and the phone just looks and feels much sleeker... So i was thinking of maybe buying one of those 2 batteries and a charger bundles for a tenner and just switching batteries when flat. I just thought id ask to see if anyone has any experience of these and how there performance compares to the original 1500 mah batteries.
Also i saw a cheap 3600mah battery on ebay, bulky but maybe worth it if it outperforms my 2600mah which is already decent. My phone is stock and is hungry for power!
Gimme your thoughts people ...cheers

Whenever i get cheap batteries they never work as well
My 2600mah has been fine that was only a tenner but the size is too ugly. Im very interested in these 2300mah and 1950mah batteries i have seen on ebay... But everyone ive seen on here saying theyll buy one and review it seem to disapear... Maybe there exploding and killing people off lol (just kidding).
If anyone has a cheap 1950mah or 2300mah standard size replacement battery, could they please give me a review of its performance.

I bought one of those bundles. The batteries last about half as long as the original battery. On the plus side they also charge super fast when you plug the phone in. Overall for the price I'm happy, I'm never without a charged battery now.
Nice one cheers for the info... Half as long doesnt sound like what im after :-/ but very useful to know thanks

Regarding cheap batteries, it may be worth having a read of: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=65568
I know it's a different device/OS/manufacturer (Nokia N900), but the same principal probably applies.
An overview: cheap batteries from eBay usually have a resistor in them to set what capacity they report. So you may be buying a smaller capacity battery, faked to look bigger.
Now thats interesting. Nice one

The charger I use is a universal one from Gamestop that was originally for DS. It's a lot faster than the original.

Mugen Power 1800mAh battery (3200mAh also available)

Using 1800mAh battery on his Evo 4G and he love it. Had issues with the price at first but quality proved itself over buying cheap batteries from ebay or amazon. In the end it's cheaper to stick with a good battery.
Check them out, I'm on 3 days usage with 3200mah now.
Check review from Droid Dog here: http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2010/10/mugen-powers-extended-batteries-for-the-htc-evo-4g/
3200mAh with battery door
1800mAh OEM socket battery
I'm using the 3200mAh battery from Mugen right now. With a new ICS ROM I'm getting about 18 hrs, sadly that is without 4G.
The Mugen batteries are showing horrible results on battery boss, the 1800mah is less actual mah than the stock OEM that comes with it.

If you'd make some research you'd find out that batteryboss was a project to throw dirt at all third-party batteries out there. The tests were biased and not proven. I'd suggest you trying the stuff yourself and make up your own mind. When the battery allows me to work on my phone for another 1.5 days, I don't care about some stinky site out there.

[Q] Best Extended Battery?

HI,
My Galaxy Note battery does not seem to last as long as I need it to.
Any changes to the system such as turning of Autosync or WiFi does not make a difference nor do custom roms made for extra juice.
So the only solution to this is to buy an extended battery.
I have done some searching and most extended batteries have some good reviews and more bad. For example, an extended battery I found on Amazon is being advertised as having 5000mAh of juice but in reality when you peel of the sticker it is 2x1500mAh.
So that's why i need some help on choosing the most stable (Not affecting my phone's software) and long lasting extended battery available.
Please Help. Much Appreciated.
Buy two 2700mah anker batteries and swap them when you need, very cheap and effective
Sent from N7000 with paranoid 0.2
I tried the gold 3200mah Slim one and just ordered the anker 2700. The 3200mah was good at the beginning but now about a month later it lasts as long as stock on a typical day. I don't know if my gold one is just a bad one that wore out prematurely or they're all like that. But for $12 its worth it.

How do you charge those two batteries?. Will they need an extra wall charger right? Becouse whats the point having 3 batteries and just one charger ( your phone ).
Im also interested on them, but sadly thereĀ“s no international shipping that I know of.
