Help Droid Pro Battery

[walshm23]

I appologize if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything about it. I just got the Droid Pro this past week. And in the few short days I have had it the battery has not lasted more then 4 hours off the charger. I have let it go all the way down and shut off on it's own and then re-charged it and it still does it. Anyone have any suggestions or does this just sound like a bad battery? Is the extended battery worth getting?

I all depends on what you have on. Do you have wireless, gps, and bluetooth all enabled?

I'm using the stock battery and I take it off the charger at 7:30am each day and by 4:30pm it's barking at me because it's under 15%. I leave gps and bluetooth off, but have wireless on all the time. Plus I have K-9 set to check two email accounts every 5 minutes.

If you are using it a lot (especially the screen AND 3G usage), the original battery sucks. The extended battery is far better.

My battery life at first seemed almost as bad as my inc, but has improved quite a bit with regular use.

Buy an extended battery, trust me, its well worth it. If you a power user, you could always carry your original battery after getting the extended battery.
