Accessories Seidio 1750 mAh Extended Battery

I have to say it's really worth it. I was able to get one for $35.00 and it has greatly improved battery performance. The battery no longer overheats and the random restarts have stopped. I think the original battery may have had issues it was very short lived and overheated easily. Anyone out there who is having trouble deciding whether to get one or not, should get one.
 
ditto on the $33 battery deal.

i love it. now mine lasts a whole day and i don't have to wonder if i'm going to make it or not. definitely worth getting. i was undecided for a while and the $33 deal popped up and i decided to go for it. Man was i happy that i did.:cool:

ditto on being the same size and having no problems with it....at all.

Quick question - I received mine Wednesday, charged fully before using, then was able to drain almost all the way and charged fully the next night. Since then, however, after unplugging around 7AM and going to bed close to midnight each night, I still have had 40-50% left and therefore am unable to get the 5 full charge cycles recommended.

How critical is draining fully for 5 cycles and do they need to be 5 consecutive days?

I would say where you are with your battery is just fine. I'm no expert in batteries, but wouldn't conditioning the battery just be for gaining the most capacity? Sounds like you're at it.

I know conditioning is not exactly meant for li-ion, but all this kinda feels like voodoo science sometimes...

Fwiw, my 1750 barely lasts from 8:00am to 11:30pm with moderate usage and a full charge-unplug-power off-plug in til green cycle.

Well, I ended up spending $41 on Amazon, but I agree with the OP, it's WELL worth the money. Under light use, I can actually get a couple of days out of a single charge. I know it's only 450mAH more than the stock battery, but I'm starting to wonder if the stock battery is even living up to the 1300mAH rating.

I'd just like to say that I've also had a great experience. I got my battery a few days ago and it's really a marked difference. With moderate use I don't worry at all about making it through a day and I could even conceive of going for a couple of days with light use in a pinch.

Also, to the poster who asked about draining the battery 5 times- In the battery thread, search for comments by "nkk." He's a student working with these sorts of batteries in a lab setting and he has posted some very helpful, very detailed instructions. (Quick tip from him- you only have to do the 100 to 0 charge once every month or two to recalibrate the battery gage. Other than that, the batteries will live longer if you don't completely drain them)

I just got my 1750 mah battery this week. I have gone from worrying about battery life to actively trying to kill it so I can complete full charging cycles. I am loving this battery. I am taking a day trip to San Diego from Orange County today and I would have been worried about bringing a Charger in the past but with the new battery I will be free to play with my phone in the car on the way up and down and follow the Lakers game while I'm down there.

I was nervous before purchasing the battery because I had heard mixed reviews about the battery but it has met my expectations and more.
