Extended battery is it all that?

Which one of the these two should I get, HTC 2750 or seidio 3200? Too bad there's not an 1800-2000 slim. Anyone find a car dock that works with the extended battery or even better, with a case on too?

I haven't found anything that works with the extended battery, so I followed what this guy did and now I can use my OEM car dock.

It works well, I haven't used it for super long periods of time though. I also used black electrical tape to cover the back and some of the edges that were cut.
 
I finally just got the HTC 2750 extended battery tuesday........I love it!!! What a huge difference. Found a nice case on www.letstalk.com The case works for me...Rubberized Case with Extended Battery Support for $16.99 and searched the net and found 25% off code which brought it to $12.74. Just thought I'd share incase anyone else was looking. Have an awesome weekend!;)
 
Is there much of a difference between the HTC and the Seidio? The Seidio is bigger, but I've read they overrate their batterys sometimes.
 
i need to look into getting one of these backup batteries.

Which ones are you guys using?

The Powerskin brand one or the one you can buy from the Verizon store?

Anyone have the Powerskin one? Is so, how is it?
 
I bought the extended battery from Verizon. I get a 21% discount from the company I work for and also found a 30% coupon online. I only paid $27 for mine.

Worth it? Well I often had to charge the original 2 or 3 time a day. I was not getting over a day with the extended because I had so many reboots a day it killed my battery. I'm anxious to see if it lasts all day now with the update I got last night.

The battery is almost 2 times the size of the original battery the t-bolt comes with. Does the battery offer almost 2 times the battery life between charges than the stock battery?

I notice the stock battery gets awfully warm at times, does the extended big boy get as warm?


On 4G how much battery life do you get out of the extended vs stock battery?

Bought my extended battery from Verizon and it worked great. Really saved me when I got stuck at an airport all night with my cord packed away. But now I charge it, unplug it at night, and I have tor recharge it again in the morning without having used it at all. Just a lemon or some other reason? It was very warm to the touch the other day, too. Suggestions? Thanks!
 
For the people who find the extended battery works great do you wait till it's almost empty to charge it or charge it any power level.
Thanks
 
The HTC extended battery is all that and plus a bag of chips. On my 2nd charge cycle the numbers are 39 hours up time and 10 hours of awake time with 20% still left. WiFi or 4G were on practically the whole time the screen was on. Did some gaming, FBing, emails, and texts also. I was using my phone pretty heavily to see what the battery can do.
A must buy for every Thunderbolt owner. I like not having to worry about how much battery is left and the extra bulk isn't bad.
 
Im telling you my extended 2750 battery is the frikkin bomb . I have had this battery for about 6 weeks. RighT now I am going on my 44.07th hour of moderate to heavy use and I still have 26% left.
 
I definitely need this extended battery... I woke up this morning and took my Bolt off the charger at 10:00 and it was dead at 3:00.. Set to autobrightness, all animations.. No widgets but some gaming and web browsing. And I'm seeing people getting over a day on this shit.. Buying it tomorrow.
 
for the record i wear skinny jeans and it fits fine,lol >.<

but yes, anyone reading this, the battery is a must have, idk wat id do without it, 4g drains it as it is but gets me thru the day, i have class 8am-5pm so unless im on a break i have mobile data off, usually leave with 97%, then go home, tether my butt off till about 12 and have 45%, so yes, worth it and it gets really hot while tethering... something i go that makes it charge quicker, is ill do a battery pull and as the bootup starts i plug the charger in, helps charge quicker for me. :)

Fixed.

The extended is nice, but I prefer my cheapo batteries. They fit my ringke case while the extendeds don't.
