Let it run dead. Fully charge it (for a couple hours past green). Let it run dead. Fully charge it.

Should see improvement. If not, maybe you got a dud.

I might be paranoid or overly cautious, but I was looking at the 1500 Bidallies page that specifically says "Droid Incredible" but the numbers are:
RHOD160 35H00123-00M. Will this still fit the Inc with no gap problems?

how many complete charges did it take you guys for your battery to reach its full potential i have done 2 but it still does not seem like it should be

I think by the 2nd or 3rd, but some people claim it takes 5-6. Of course, others say the 1st cycle should be as good as the 10th.

Do keep in mind the 1500 only has 200 mAh more than stock. You shouldn't notice a HUGE increase in battery life.

What kind of battery life are you getting?

I really am not very comfortable helping a Red Sox fan, but you seem nice enough, so I'll make an exception. :p

3 hours of display really isn't that bad for even the 1500. I'd say I average about 3.5 hours of Display On time per charge. Right now my stock battery has been unplugged for 9+ hours, Display On for 50 minutes, and I'm at 67% remaining.

You may consider tweaking some settings to increase your battery life, but I don't know that you're going to get much more than what you're getting.
 
I was going to say I'm not comfortable taking advice from a Yankees fan haha but thank you I just wasn't too sure how much battery i should expect (finishing the 3 game sweep tonight I'm calling it):D

I was calling a sweep too until Girardi showed his desperation by putting Hughes back in for the start. Now we at least have a chance, although admittedly not a good one the way things have been going. I still don't see the Red Sox pulling the magical comeback for the postseason, though.
 
Just received my rhod160 from Bid Allies today. It is ever so slightly larger than the 1300 but the case still snaps shut with just a bit of a gap on the sides from the bowing of the case around the battery. It was half charged when I got it. Charging it now and will post my results tomorrow.
 
I'm on my 2nd charge with this 1500 battery and I really love it, it last longer than the 1300. I have found that if I turn off 3G during part of the day I am at work and not using it, the battery last even longer.

I wish now I had 2 of these 1500 instead of the standard one. Verizon should have shipped this phone with the 1500.

Does your battery door attach firmly to the rest of the phone? Do you get creaky noises if you squeeze on the right side?

With the 1500, I used to have a hairline gap on one side and get the creaky noise when I pushed the optical button. Over time the hairline gap became almost microscopic and creakiness faded.
 
I've had mine (bidallies 1500) nearly a week now and the cover fits much better than it did originally. Also, I'm getting the expected difference, or better, like 20% longer use out of it. One thing I will note is that it definitely charges noticeably more quickly than the stock battery- overall very much pleased with the purchase.
Thanks to this whole thread!

See this is what I'm afraid of, I'm reading mixed reviews. Some say the 1500 mAh battery fits perfect without any gaps and gets rid of the creek from the stock battery, which is why I want to buy one. But I don't want it if it is not going to fit correctly...

I have the verizon silicone case so I can't see the crack but I do have the creak from pushing the optical button. It doesn't bother me in the least tho. I haven't posted my battery life cause it took me till afternoon today to kill the battery for the first time! :-)
 
Just got an RHOD160. Fits snug but the back snaps closed as usual. Charged overnight so we'll see how it holds up over a whole day.

Yes the door snaps close, you just have to go around the entire phone on all corners and sides, mine closes fine, I don't see any gaps.

I do have some creeky near the optical button but since I don't use the optical button it doesn't bother me.
 
I'm just tired of this phone feeling like plastic. I'm willing to buy a new battery to get rid of the creeking,
 
I have two 1500Mah batteries, one is from Bidallies and another is a douche from Amazon who sold me a used battery.

Both of them have different part number:
From Bidallie: 35H00123-00M
From Amazon: 35H00123-08M (this has silver lining)

Are they the same?
