Any issues with these batteries getting hot? I thought I remember reading that somewhere. Thanks guys!

Under Light to Medium usage, I havent noticed any battery heat at all. I know my phone gets hot in general when im playing games with the stock battery. But I havent played games yet with the new battery.

I would think though, that the battery should actually stay cooler since it has more mAh, the battery discharges less quickly, meaning the voltage decreases more slowly. So the battery should run cooler. I could be wrong tho...

No abnormal heat with mine. It will get pretty warm when streaming LastFM for prolonged periods of time but the stock battery does too.

How long can you stream using that 1750 battery?

I use about 25% of battery streaming DroidLive (Xiia) Lite per hour. Is that normal?

About 4 hours if your lucky. I stick to cached Slacker for my day to day use and save LastFM for long trips where you can keep it plugged in.

That makes perfect sense then. I get about 4hrs of constant streaming too.

Took mine off at 100% (well 90% since I didn't power off) at 8:00 a.m. One phone call, tons of texts to my girlfriend, toss it, solitaire, fun towers and some browsing more or less every hour or so throughout the day. It is now 9:45 p.m. and I am at 48%. I guess that is pretty good?

As for things running...I turn wi-fi, gps and bluetooth off unless I am using them (did not today).

So much discussion about batteries, perhaps someone could create a forum poll that asks users which battery they prefer?

Seidio 1750 Initial Full Charge
Start Voltage: 3.85V
End Voltage: 4.20V
Charge Rate: 0.5A (Was too slow so I upped it to 1.0A)
mAh Input: 77mAh
Charge Rate: 1.0A
mAh Input: 504mAh
The battery sat overnight (11 hrs) and I assumed it would have leveled off and could use a little more charge before I started the discharge test. It is a new battery

Would be cool if you can do a discharge comparison between the seidio and the tp2 battery. Looks like studio is only at 1500mah discharge rate?

I would love to but I already have my seidio so I dont want to buy the tp2.

Anyone wanna First Class Mail me their spare TP2 Battery? I'll test it out and mail it back to you. PM me

Yea, so far the Seidio seems to have about a 1500mah capacity. But that may be because it has not been cycled even once as of the discharge test. Im hoping to see an increase when I re-test.
