Accessories Battery life using the HTC 2150 mah extended is well......Incredible

[elrabin]

I got my 2150 mah battery in the mail the other day and let me say WOW what a difference in battery life!

On a normal day, i make/receive a dozen phone calls, send/receive 50 emails, spend a couple hours each on meebo IM, pandora radio and general web surfing.

I fully charge before i go to sleep, so by midnight i have a topped off battery.

By 5pm the following day, normally i'm in the yellow on the battery meter.

Using the extended battery, i'm on day two of this usage pattern, without having charged last night, and the battery only just hit 50%!

~40 hours of uptime
8 hrs and 35 minutes of awake time

Voice calls, Display and Android system have eaten the lions share of the battery.

I'm very impressed.

Once i break the battery in, i might be able to get 3 days out of it.

Yeah, I just got mine and it's awesome. I used my phone heavily all day yesterday, will everything syncing as often as possible and playing music via bluetooth all day. On the old battery I would be well into the yellow doing that by 6 pm or so (starting the day at 9), but this battery was still around 65%. Well worth it.

hella sick.

 

[jsstritz]

how much?

 

[elrabin]

Oh, i forgot to mention, the battery doesn't really add too much to the size of the device.

If anything, it feels a bit more solid in the hand due to the extra weight and I like that the phone no longer rests on its camera lens when placed on its back.

It now sits flat on the "Shelf" made by the thicker battery door.

how much?

Price? It's $59.99 from Verizon, but if you know somebody with a plan that gets a discount, you can get 25% off of it. I paid $45 with free overnight shipping.

 

[elrabin]

how much?

$60 MSRP, but i got mine for $40 due to company discount.

TOTALLY worth it.

I liked the way the new cover protects the camera lens now too, it doesn't hang off the back of the phone anymore.

Will I need a new case to hold this battery? I just ordered the Seido Innocase II

Any pics of what it looks like on the phone, I really want to get it but I need to know just how much bigger it is going to be.

I don't think that case will fit with this battery.

i'll post up some pics tonight once i'm home.

i'll do shots of the phone with both the original back and the extended on it, as well as the batteries themselves.

You have to modify any case by cutting out the back plate. DrPheta has mastered this and will do it for you for a small fee

Personally...I think it's Incredible how many threads are on this forum about this battery. ;-)

Sometimes the search button is hard to find and when you're making a new thread and it pops up with similar threads , who wants to look at that

 

[Excedio]

Hard to find? It's right at the top of the screen.. Who want's to look at that? I don't know. But I do know who wants you to look at that. The Mod that has to clean up the forum.

Not picking on anyone...just pointing it out.

Agree. However, I have the Seidio Innocase II case and realized that the section to be cut out contains the latch that holds the 2 halves of the case together. I think the dremel solution only works with cases that have "front" and "back" pieces that snap together along the edge of the phone.

i agreee with this... how hard is it to search and also when making a thread it comes up with similar ones

Now if only someone would come out with a decent case for extended battery I would buy one...til then I'm sticking with my 1500mAh TP2 I picked up for $15 of eBay...

 

[AlexNC]

I have been a little let down with the battery life. Though, it is definitely possible that I am just using it much more than I realize. As for the size, I think there is a big difference. Mainly in weight. I feel it in my pocket a lot more now.
