Are you guys all buying from ebay? I have a yoobao coming in soon and will see if their 3000 seems more realistic

I bought this also but my battery seems more like 2000mah not 3000mah. I contracted the seller and he is sending me a replacement battery. If the new one truly is 3000mah I will be extremely happy. If not I will buy the seidio 3500mah battery and use this battery cover. I really like the battery cover it does truly look like it could be stock.

non of the batteries ever really test out to be what the mfg claims . battery boss compared several of them including htc,sedio and mugen non of them met there advertised mah. seidio 3500mah is really 2821mah for 70.00? i dont think so
BatteryBoss Calls Out False Capacity Claims!
 
2800 might get to 3000 after several cycles which would be double the stock battery life. I'm seriously considering the seidio one. It's cheaper on amazon

If doesn't work, I'll just order myself a Seidio. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Right now my average is about 7-8 hours of battery life.

If this Chinese battery turns out to be working...12 Bucks for a 3000mah is much more cost efficient then paying 70bucks for 3500mah...Just so it can say Seidio on it...Because i love the fact how people are saying the chinese battery are bad quality when 98% of our Products Nowadays are made in china....I bet the Seidio one is also
 
From what I read all the Seidio are from japan or china . there all the same thing . the seidio batterys and mugen are not even as good as some of the ebay ones as Battery Boss has stated there listed amounts are no where near what they say. Im sure the ebay ones also dont get anywhere near what they say but atleast you pay $10 for it and not $70 for the same thing.
 
i just ordered and am sending one to batteryboss, so wait it out a week and he'll have answers for us.
i'd honestly be happy with 2000mah.

agree, most items are made in china nowadays and their quality keeps improving... however, i read a report before (in XDA forum or somewhere, cant remember) about battery, it seems that there is a difference between QC which results in different costs and price.
 
yeah I'd like to see what they test out to as well since I'm thinking about getting the extended ebay battery.
 
My Chinese knockoff blows doors on my Seidio. I charged it and put it in on Friday night. It was on WiFi with the exception of going out to dinner. I used it lightly all weekend long. I am at 47 hours and it still has 28% left. The real test will be this week at work when I stream radio most of the day.

For $12?!? If batteryboss says anything near 3000maH, its a steal!!

(ps how long is Seidio/Radio Shack etc. repackage China eBay/Monoprice stuff for extra$$?)

obostore.com for $25. Twice the price of the ebay 3000mah but I'm hoping there's more consistent quality in a "name brand." Plus, there have been reviews of the yoobao batteries on XDA before and most guys have said that it's pretty good. Oh wait, it was actually around $23, but I added an external battery charger for like $2-3.
 
I really can't get an idea of how much thicker the phone is with the extended battery. Is it slimmer than the seidio one? Can we get a picture of both stock and this battery cover from a leveled perspective. Thanks

Nice, it doesn't look much bigger than the phone with the seidio case on it.

i dont have the seidio, but i like that this has a smooth finish, and it feels really good in your hand, what do you think of the case i bought for it? and the charger
