Accessories Extended Batteries for Evo

Anyone using an extended life battery for their Evo's and happy with them?

I was thinking of purchasing one and wanted to check in with the gang.

Thanks.
 
I have the stock battery personally. Just posted about this over in the battery forum but, im just over 70 hrs since unplugged with 30% battery left under light/moderate use compared to most here. 4-5 calls a day out and 4-5 in or so, 10-20+ txts and an hour so of my daughter surfing/streaming you tube, not rooted, manually using ATK, launcher pro and other lil stuff, nothing special! Except when I charge it, I pull it off when its green, use it for a minute, and plug it back in, usually charges another 5-10 min 2-3 times. Hope this helps!

U must of meant 7 hours...because we all know, including yourself that 70 hours is a bold face lie!
 
67 hours, in before = its not 70 hrs (Math was auctually my best subject! lol)

Spent the last 20+ min with 3 old cameras dead batteries trying to take a pic >> Phones not rooted, I had updated shoot me so now it wont work. Can take pics from DDM but when I plug it in, it resets the time. If anyone can suggest another way to take more pics ill post uptime/whatnot.

Also Robo, I did mention it was light/moderate use compared to what some people here use theres for. Theres been 8+ hrs a night of a sleep it sits, and the 6-10 hrs a day im at work, its with me but usually idle, I work in attics so yea. It was deff on more than 4 hrs, I promise.

I said in my first post, exactly how much it was used, belive it or not wasnt tryin to start an argument, just help someone try a few things out before buying another battery. Cheers

More pics if someone can give me some ideas!

Don't forget to post Display Up Time, because I guarantee you it's not over 4 hours.

yeh uptime is what im looking for, because i know he didnt talk on the phone for 70 hours. He posted a pic but all i see is the standby time

But my stock phone would not last 70 hours even on standby, unless i cut EVERYTHING off. but i keep the 3G or 4g on all the time.
 
I bought the extended battery and cover from ebay that's $15 I will report once it gets here. I considered the seidio one but 70 is a lot to pay for a battery

i paid $53 free shipping
i would jump out there and say sedios will probably hold more mah and last longer than the cheap $15 bucks or so batteries
just my hunch of course
 
You might have paid 53 but its 69.99 now. The seidio will probably be a better battery but for 15 bucks its worth a shot.

Comprehension is hard. I said exactly how much it was used during this charge. Bout to roll 3 days even, 15% on battery atm. Daughter played on the net for about an hour watching chipmunk videos, I made prob another 6-7 calls since earlier and 10-15 txts both ways.

Where the cheapest place to get one these.....70 Bucks at seidio.com im not liking too much

OR

Whats the best battery any of you have purchased that fit with the Stock Battery Door?
 
I received my 3500 from Amazon Saturday. I played with the phone all day Sunday and was unable to kill the battery in 15 hours. Still had over 40%.
To get a completely full charge you need to charge it a couple of times. It gets about 90% on the first charge. On mine the charge falls to about 80% in the first couple of hours, then it starts to stabilize and seems to run forever. Last night my phone went 20 hours with out charging. Still had over 40% after using GPS from and to work, games, internet, texting, and mail.

Main reason I bought Seidio was because they had an extended case that would fit the battery and phone properly.
Luckily I got it on pre order for $53. Worth it for me, I use my phone all the time, and I don't always have a charger available.
 
I got my seidio 3500 last monday, and it's awesome. I was using my phone like normal (stock battery was usually ~30-40% by 10pm), and I just plugged it in after almost 88 hours. The last time it was plugged in was 3:30pm sunday! The last phone I had that could go more than a day on a charge was my old samsung dumb phone on t-mobile (circa 2002).

Personally, the extra battery life is totally worth the battery bubble-butt :D
