OEM HTC RHOD160 BATTERY FOR VERIZON DROID INCREDIBLE - eBay (item 170540504300 end time Oct-14-10 16:41:27 PDT)

YES, seems to be a legit battery with correct numbers on the wrap.

Seems also those that have this very battery have good results for a true 1500.

I got one of the 3500 mAh, $10(free shipping) batteries from Hong Kong from eBay, I thought why not, ten bucks? It surely is no 3500, but doing semi-consistent testing, running same apps from full charge to auto-off, measuring slope of battery charge data from 'Battery Graph' app, and found I got about 80% more than stock. For $10, I'm satisfied, and the extra thickness doesn't bother me at all, I think I might like it.

Okay, I got mine from bidallies this past weekend.
I think I went over 20 hours unplugged but that was with very very little use. I was home mostly all weekend and was using my comp instead of the phone and plus I was also connected via wifi instead of 3g.

So basically I wanted to gauge it during the week when I have normal use.
Here are my stats for today's use thus far:

67% unplugged since 8:46am/Good health/81.1F/3.905V
(per my battery indicator widget)

Up Time: 5:37:36
Awake Time: 1:42:33

Battery Use:
(5h 37m 3s since unplugged)
Android System - 38%
Cell Standby - 28%
Phone Idle - 21%
Display - 9%
Wi-fi - 4%

I have the following synced:
1. backup assistant (once a day in the morning)
2. Facebook (once a day) - I use the refresh button every time I enter the app, which is several times a day.
3. Google contacts, gmail, calendar
4. news (manual)

I use beautiful widgets (updates hourly), pure grid calendar widget, pure calendar widget (for my agenda & that's a manual refresh), pure messenger widget (polls every 3 hours), tweetcaster updates every 15 mins, my default email apps are set to dl every hour (excluding the yahoo mail app and gmail), my screen is 19% dim and I use the free power manager app. I also text throughout the day and check twitter and facebook several times throughout the day as well.

Why do I feel that I should get more?
Can someone help me out and let me know if I'm getting good use of the battery? I'm still a fairly new Droid owner so some of the stuff is greek to me, I'm still learning :)

I do have to say that I have noticed a difference between the stock and this battery. With the stock battery, normally I would have to be plugged back and in recharging anywhere from 3 - 5pm.
