Accessories 2600mah + battery door

does the extended battery fit against the battery door or is there a little "give" where you can push the door in a bit? just wondering how sturdy the door is.
 
Fits up against the door with no give where the battery is. there is a little space where there is no battery ( right below the batter and above the kickstand)
 
Got mine today, 10 days from China. Only tried the back door so far, which fits well. The battery scares me a bit as it says it's for the, "Priod Incredible"...not my typo. Any problems yet vaccdroid?
 
No , no issues and mine says the same thing. Same results today. Im getting like 10-15% more out of the day. Not enough to use the bigger back every day. I got this for days when I will absolutley not be near a charger ( on vacation etc) . Agan I think this batteyr is only a 2150 ish . the 2600-2700-3000 on Ebay all look the same and are the same exact battery. best guess is they are all 2150 ish batterys.
 
Thanks. I only got for traveling for work. But I'll probably charge it up and try it for a few days to see how it works. Need just a little bit more juice to keep me entertained on flights and still be able to use the phone until I get to a charger.
 
I got my battery and tested it for 2 days it seems like it almost doubled my battery life im estimating it at around 2500 mah, i bought the 3000 mah one
 
I'm emailing my seller...hopefully I just got a bad battery and he'll send me a new one. The stock battery performed as well or better than this. Once this thing hit 30%, it was over within minutes. Also would drop from 100% to 95% within a few minutes, whereas the stock battery will sit at 100 for nearly an hour. Maybe it would get a little better with more use, but since I don't plan on using it on a daily basis, I don't have the patience - I want my phone back in its case.
 
Has to be a bad battery. I put mine in after work at 6 pm and its still at 98% at 9:00 with the new battery. I havent used it a ton but 1 phone call ( 5 minutes) maybe 10 text and checked email twice plus its running sports tap as its giving me the yankee game updates. I got my Siedio battery back so was using that at work but I may have to go to this battery. Our new office cant get a sprint signal and no wifi . killing my battery. Again Im not using this battery every day BUT I actually love the way the back door fits in the hand and protects the camera and would consider it if I had a case. I tried to mod a case from a TPU case . but no luck.
 
Just had to update. My original asesment of the battery was not correct. I tried it the first day I moved into our new office which has no Sprint signal and no wifi. It killed the battery( Cant figure out how to handle that at work) . Test today at home and the battery is amazing. 9 hours and at 75% left. Typically at home on a saturday with the sock i am well bwlow 50% and have to charge by after lunch. . I have been usiing it all day. texting. 2 phone calls. Checking email 5-6 times. running Sports tap. Everything same as before. I also installed Lock Widget and been setting that up during the day.. Basically I think if I can get a signal or have wifi I can get 2 days out of this battery. I included a photo of the battery screen so I can have some visual proof. I used a camera as I am not rooted. This battery might just be close to the 2600 it says. Upper left has the battery meter ( 75). and the line below it says how long since I last charged. ( 9 hrs). Battery is well worth the $10. Might not be as powerfull as the 3500 for $60-$90 but it looks alot nicer. Again if only I had a case to fit it.

Seller actually replied and is sending a new battery...hope I can get that kind of life on the next one.
 
vaccdroid, can you measure how thick it is with the cover? I'm looking into getting a leather holster and i'd like to see if i can make it fit in there also.

EDIT: damn your phone looks beat up haha :P
 
The screeen potector is all messed up . Lint got under it and it has a beat up appearance but the phone itself is in good shape.

the phone with the original back on is 1/2 of an inch using my ruler and with the extended case it is 3/4 of an inch . the back adds 1/4 of an inch to the phone. AS I said its not much but just enough that the skin cases can get around the phone. I need a case so bad for this extended battery.
 
I have 5 different TPU cases. all from ebay. they are all perfect fits for the regular case but not this one. I tried cutting on up to open the back a little but looked silly and not great.
 
My 3000 died after 8 hours of little use on WIFI! Not happy with it. Might give it a 4th cycle since some of you are having success.
 
I get the feeling it will be hit or miss on these. ( alot of bad batteries being shipped along with good ones) there is also a thread on XDA Developers site about these batterys and same thing. some got bad batteries and some got good batterys. some got bad back doors ( mine was bent but I bent it back) and some got good one.My first Seidio 1750 battery was bad . I didnt get much more then the stock but the replacment * mine also got hot so I got a replacment) works so much better. I also ordederd the 2000MAH and 3000MAH battery from Obostore and I have a feeling since they are name brands ( in HK) and sealed in the package they might be a better buy. the 200MAH is only $9 and the 3000 is $25. little more then these but I bet more reliable.

If yours is a bad battery contact the seller and they should replace it for you. If not open a papal dispute saying he sent you a bad product and won't replace it.
 
So how resilient is the back cover? i know xda had a thread on some yoobao stuff for the G1 and their main complaint was that the back cover was cracking easily. The battery, however, was stellar.
 
The back door with the ebay battery is pretty good. When I get the Yooboo stuff I may use that battery with the ebay door.
 
Just got my 3,000mah battery in yesterday. Charged it all night on the charger and today I turned on GPS, WiFi, 4g, sync, the whole bit. Plenty of talking, texting, browsing, installing apps, facebook, etc etc. I'm at 80% after almost 9 hours. This is awesome. Just hoping it lasts more than a month LOL.
