Extended Battery @ VZW Stores

Got mine today for 50% off. They are having a promotion where they are 24.99 plus taxes. This was at a store in SoCal but it was a Corp store so should be available everywhere.

They have had this since the day it launched, but thanks for reminding everyone! =)
 
When I bought my Bionic, I asked a store employee about how long the extended battery sale would last. According to him the sale ends at the end of October.

I still haven't bought one yet since I thought I would test out the standard battery first. I am easily getting a full day with light/moderate use (4G enabled). But, I'm definitely going to pick up the extended battery just to have as a great back up!
 
When I bought my Bionic the other day, they were out of the extended battery. And it's not listed under accessories on vzw.com under the Bionic. Strange.

So far I haven't needed it - my lowest battery reading when I went to bed at night was 52% with the standard battery. It's much better battery life than I had with my old eris, in which I had an extended 1750 mAh battery (so, slightly larger.)

That is strange. I came from an Eris too (also with its extended battery). I agree with staying with the standard battery. I just installed juice defender, so I'll just wait and see how much that helps.

Just in case - I'm still going back the VZW store and getting an extended battery for piece of mind.

I wasn't able to find it while looking (quickly) through the Verizon accessories, but it came up when I searched "bionic battery" on vzw.com.

I found it from somebody else's link to the battery, but the web site lists it as "out of stock" - perhaps that's why it's not on the Bionic's accessories page?

(Also, you cannot order it. That's pretty maddening if they are selling it on deal - they should honor the deal and take backorders, in my opinion.)

That said, I am still not sure I want an extended battery, as I think it probably makes the phone too thick to carry comfortably in my pocket. I chose the Bionic over the Droid 3 in part over that issue - the D3 was just felt like too much of a brick in comparison. I'm thinking about a second standard battery and just carrying a charged spare if I know I will be in a situation where I may be using the phone a lot away from a charger.
 
I was just at the local Verizon store in Boulder, CO (they transferred all of my contacts from my old, broken and unusable BB Storm 1 to my Bionic) and after specifically checking for something on his computer screen, the guy that was helping me said the half-off sale will last till the end of the year. So, I wonder if that's a local thing, or what.
 
I just ordered mine today online. I was logged into my account. I added the extended battery to my cart and when I went to check out it was $24.99. This is an awesome deal. Thanks guys for putting this info out there.
