Accessories Extended Battery

[lordofthereef]

I am thinking of an extended battery for my EVO. I know they make a 1750mha battery for the DINC which isn't any bigger (physically larger) than the stock 1500mha one. Do they make something like this for the EVO? I don;t really want to go with anything that will make the phone thicker or require anything but the stock backplate. I have a nice case on mine that I would like to keep.

Also, the way I figure it, another 250mha would be about a 15% increase in juice. Would that make my battery last 15% longer? On the days I use the phone the most I am at about 20% before I am home to get it plugged in. An extra 15% would push me just far enough to feel more comfortable knowing that I have the ability to make some short calls if I need to.

I ask we don't make this into a "Why don't you just plug the phone in?" thread. When I can, I do. For the times that I can't, I am considering a bigger battery. FWIW the phone is usually above 80% because I am able to charge at work and school.

Get the Seidio 1750mah battery.

I was looking for that but I only saw compatibility for the DINC. Do they make one for the EVO (or will the DINC one work with the EVO)?

That 1750mah battery probably does not have any more juice then the stock battery, if it has that. I have the cheap 3500mah battery, yes it adds a little bulk but I go 12hrs of med to heavy use and still have 50 to 55% battery life left at the end of the day. The 3500mah battery probably only has 2700 to 2800mah but thats still close to double a stock battery. Of course this is just my opinion, but I think if your looking to increase battery life and don't care about a little extra thickness you can't beat the 3500mah cheap-o battery

Been using these since October 15 w/o a problem. Doubles or triples battery life.
If I forget to plug in overnight, then it's not a problem to just grab my phone and go for a 2nd day. 48 Hrs. usage is not unusual on the same 3500 battery. If in a fix, then just put in the 2nd fresh battery in 30 seconds. Fits better in my hand, too. Battery cover is grippy and doesn't interfere with easel or camera lens, and protects the camera lens.

Search the net and you can find a comparison between this ebay item and the $80 version, and no difference in performance.
