Accessories for LG Spectrum with extended battery.

I recently ordered a 3000mAh extended battery from Verizon and am wondering if there are any good cases/full body covers for it?

Thanks

The Verizon kickstand case fits the extended battery. It's my favorite case by far

Is there a car dock that fits the extended battery

i had to buy the generic car dock from VZW for $20, it works, but i'm not to happy with it. It's kind of flimsy, and i've already lost a piece of the vent hanger attachment.

I just received a cheapo Chinese 3800 mAh battery from eBay ($9.99 and free shipping, I had $6.24 in expiring eBay bucks, so I figured why not?)

Charged it up last night, with my phone off, after resetting the battery stats in CWM. I let it go about 2 hours past fully charging. Then started using it. First charge is not so good, going to let it go as low on battery as I can before plugging it back in. Will see if it does any better. I'll add battery life screen shots at 10% and again at 5% for this charge cycle and the next, then I'll post another set next week, so everyone can see if it improves any.

I have contacted the seller, as the neck cover they shipped (shiny, slick, black plastic) does not snap in on the top right hand side...

Also I noticed while swapping the two batteries, the 3800 is only 3.7v the stock is 3.8v...

It's funny how we all talk about cycling or seasoning a new battery, but truth is, these batteries are supposed to not be affected at all by such things. I wonder if it's more about the phone learning to read a battery with a different rating than the OEM battery?

I have one OEM and two aftermarket batteries, and there is a difference.

resetting battery stats is unneeded n is a myth

I do it for the phone, not the battery, as you have mentioned. my reasoning is through experience. I just got his battery and so far it lasted (from a full charge) exactly the same amount of time as the stock one.

Here is the first charge screenshot.
I only did one, since I was actively using my phone at the time and it dropped from 10% to 5% in less than five minutes. Note the stagnant time is 8 hours of airplane mode overnight.

If this were true, (a) Android wouldn't model % remaining at all, and there would (b) no basis for Android to refine the model based on past use.

Look, are you saying you know as a developer, there is no modeling based on past battery runtime, or are you saying, why bother clearing the statistics, just use it 3 times and let it refine its estimate?

Second full charge...

Note on the last image the battery level dropped then went back up on the far right. That was a random reboot that happened when I turned my screen on after 30 minutes of not using it.

Update
Fully charged in only three hours this time, although I will leave it plugged in for a while as is recommended with extended batteries.

 

[finndo77]

Ok last post, for at least 7 days on this...
Every day seems to get me more battery life and shorter charge time...

Note the short dip in battery is where my phone shut itself off last night, and I did not noticed for a while.

Did anyone ever find anything? Not for the Verizon battery with the bump out. For this type of battery: Hyperion Verizon LG Spectrum 4G 3500mAh Extended Battery Back Cover | eBay

I'd love to keep this phone for another year but I really need a case or cover of some sort. Thanks.

 

[reeseboy]

How long does that battery last for you? You might check this out the Acesoft 3080mah vs930 battery. It will fit our phone in the stock case. I posted about it here - http://androidforums.com/lg-spectrum/732925-hyperion-extended-battery-anyone-tried.html#post6012519

Thanks Reeseboy. For about 2 hours talk, email all day and internet on and off all day, usually a full day. Sometimes 2 extra hours in the morning. I'll check out that battery.

YeahI'm wondering the same thing,is there a case that fits this battery?

Yes, there is...I mean as far as extended battery, I use the one sent directly from Verizon so it's LG brand, but if the battery dimensions are the same and it comes with a back (I'm sure it does) then if you go to Verizon they have one...it too me forever to find and then go figure Verizon is the only one I could find...even looked online and going NOTHING..this was an a year ago tho..but regardless, I found a nice case for my LG Brand extended battery at the Verizon store..had a little kickstand and everything...even handled getting run over by a lawn mower! It lasted me very very long considering that it put up with gratuitous amounts of abuse
