Now if i only had the battery life to actually USE this speed that would be great.....
 
The seidio 3500mah battery is much much better than the chinese batteries. I have two of the 3000mah chinese batteries and neither of them even come close to the life of my seidio 3500mah battery. Its more expensive but If your looking for a battery that will allow you to stop looking for an outlet like its your next fix get the seidio

For $20 if they work, great I save $50. If they work ok I just bought 2 cheap back up batteries I can give to my family who also have evos. Can't lose imo.
 
Also got the Yoobo (3000mah) and its definetly a great battery. all day and I am at 65% . Way cheaper and nicer looking then the Siedio battery and last pretty much as long. I moded a TPU case and I now am set. Can use the phone all day. and its barley bigger then the stock battery and cover. ( 1/4 of an inch more).
 
Just a random ebay case I got last month. Any case will do. you just need to cut the back off like I did. nothing more.
 
38h 11m 8s @ 34% idle/standby. so it's almost done for but i have to say that two nights of no recharge is pretty good. systempanel battery plot shows smooth drop in charge, which is nice considering some china batteries like to drop off like a cliff after 50%.

thanks for the pics vaccdroid
 
my post from this past friday got lost in the af.com time warp...heres my experience with the 3000ma:

Up time: 8 hours 30 minutes
Awake time: 4 hours 12 minutes

Battery currently at 57%. Thats roughly 5% per hour.

Running 4G, GPS, Nexus livewallpaper, autobrightness on, light-to-moderate web browsing, playing with new voice search app, a ton of just messing around with the phone customizing shortcuts/widgets/options.

Synced: Google and Weather. GTalk running the whole time.

Running Fresh3.1.0.1 and netarchy-froyoized4.0.2; undervolted to 245mhz and overclocked to 1.15ghz; JuiceDefender enabled.

I am most pleased. This is how the phone experience should be
 
This is the case I got but again any case will do.

You just need to cut it. and unlike the Siedio case this one has no lump so its smooth and looks almost as thin as the original. and unlike the 2700 battrys from ebay whihc we all figure are around 2100. the Yoboo battery is easlly close to 3000Mah and it rocks. its a little more expensive then the Ebay ones for $12 but its $25 (free shipping) and it does not look silly and brick huge like the 3500. I got mine here. Its also a name brand battery and comes sealed . They also have some nice $3 cases and a 2000Mah battery that can fit the original cover.

Time to report my first issues!

-Decided to charge up and plugged it into a 1A:850mah charger. Charged up really quick... too quick in fact. The battery management here must think it's charging a 1500 mah or something because the moment I unplug it, the numbers start dropping like a rock and I have to plug it in again. This is probably the same problem we faced with the 1500 mah OEM battery that came with our phones and charging it via the phone. It looks like I'll have to rely upon the external charger (which takes much much longer to charge) to charge this battery. It has taken me a minute to type this and I have dropped 4%. Clearly there is something wrong with what the phone thinks is FULL. I guess I'll charge it from the wall charger, kill it, charge from phone, kill it again, charge again from phone and hope it calibrate correctly.

Hm I'll have to check to see if I have this issue. I'm at a level 87% right after a quick charge to full and I've been unplugged for about an hour. I'll drain it and try again tomorrow.

The back cover feels very nice, the fit is decent.
 
Hmm after reading a few statements from some EEs, I'm not going to deplete my Li-Ion and am instead going to just use the external charger. The OEM 1500 can go back in for the night while the big kahuna is charging outside. Short version of their statements: there is no "calibration" for Li-Ions. But there is the possibility that it will recalibrate the phone... hmm... ok maybe i'll try it this time.. let the phone turn itself off, turn it back on, let it turn itself off again, charge while off.

and the battery seems to be holding stable @ 75%. so i'm guessing that's all the battery is being charged to while in the phone..
