captivate and 3500mah extended battery, Help

[deezdrama]

my captivate is v2.2 froyo rooted w z4 and lagfix, My stock battery barely lasts me through a night at work,

I ordered a 3500mah battery from ebay and when i received it I charged it overnight with my phone off....

The next day was a miracle! Battery stayed at 100% for 2 hours, by the end of the day I still had 60% battery left!

I read that the first couple charges need to be cycled so i tried to drain the battery by playing a movie over and over with screen brightness and volume at max.....

the battery lasted forever, after getting it down to 7% I charged it overnight- sameway with phone off, but now nomater what i do it only lasts the length of a stock battery.

I tried unplugging,plugging back in, phone off , phone on, waiting hours after it says 100%(on charger overnight) and tried ac and usb charging, but it just isnt seeming to charge all the way.


I was going to buy a second extended battery and an external battery charger but all the external chargers i see on ebay say are only good for li-ion batteries up to 2000mah, plus i had to modify my otterbox defender case to support my new battery and it would be a pain to have to take case apart everytime i swap batteries.

Ive been reading for days about what to do to no avail, all the external chargers i see arent rated for 3500mah capacity and I wouldnt mind flashing a custom rom that would support extended battery charging but the more research i do the more confused i get.....

Is there a kernal out there that is stable and supports charging these batteries with no bugs or issues????

What custom rom would be best?

please help......

any info is greatly appreciated

I'm not sure if this will help, but you might try ROM Manager.

There is an option in recovery mode to reset battery stats. That might do the trick.

Good luck.

High quality batteries are not inexpensive, and $9.99 for a 3500mah battery including a new camera back isn't going to purchase a quality product.

I've been using the Seidio 3300mah battery for quite a while and have had excellent performance . . . it's from a company known for supplying quality products, and it's expensive.

You get what you pay for . . .
