Extended Battery

Hi guys! I currently have a 3500mah battery but I absolutely hate the thickness. I used it for 2 months and when I put the stock in, I loved my phone again, but the battery life is still crap. What is the max extended battery I can get with the stock cover? Please link me up (I looked on amazon real quick but I couldn't find anything) Thanks!
 
Believe 1800 is the max-look on eBay that's where I had seen it before.
I like the size with the extended -make the phone easier to hold when turbo typing;)
 
1800 on Ebay BUT you have to buy it as a package and it will set you back about 30 bucks.

You can get the 1700 on Ebay for around 5 bucks. Big difference. Does it make a difference over stock? I personally havent seen it on mine.
 
sorry for double post, but verizon also have the same back battery/door things just like the MetroPCS for the Esteem only differ is that they have their own logo on it back.

They sure do-got my extended for $26out the door when they were having a sale on them back in February :thumbup:
 
Thanks for the replies guys! I'm either getting the 1800mah (Because I like the thin-ness of it) or the 3000mah official one from metro. How much of a difference have you noticed with the 1800/3000 vs stock? Is the 3000mah worth the weird square on the back? And I don't believe my 3500mah is actually 3500, its given me around double or less...no more though (note: Price is not an object.. I'm saving for 2 gtx 680 classifieds from evga, but i can spare a few bucks ;))
 
I downgraded back to a stock sized battery with (battery door thanks to gbiggie!) I wasn't digging the fat battery either so I went with the 1800mah Mugen Power battery. With the ROM's that are out now, I get about 12 hours out of it, moderate 4g/wifi usage. Now I can use a case. :D

Im with you. A case is MUCH more important than having double the battery life.

They make chargers for that. ;)

I suppose so if you tend to drop your phone or scratch it up. Prefer big batteries, I use a 3500 on my connect and attain, I prefer the big back. Nice checkered/textured back. It actually looks really good on the connect.

I absolutely HATE worrying about having to charge my phone. The LG connect was probably the worst so far. Stock 1500 battery with all the power it puts out.. give me a break. Between 6am and 930 when I take my first work break I was dropping to 56%. Now I go from 6am to 10pm with power to spare. I am a power user though.

We all have a different opinion on this though. For me, thin is not in.
 
I walk around with two batteries (stock and a 1700MaH). Rarely do I have to use both of them. But its nice to always have a "just in case" in your pocket. Ill get that big extended battery when I wanna throw my phone at someone, and kill them :x.
