Make your own extended battery?

well for example on the connect theres 2450mah batteries slim. 2 u get 5000mah. best extended is 3900

also with aftermarket back covers you can fit a larger battery than the stock on the top portion. would b nice to fit a custom battery that uses the space in there more efficiently. like the slate batteries for hp elitebooks
 
The risk of either shorting out your phone or causing the batteries to explode its not worth it at all.

true, i have a admire and a m835 from my friends im guna try it out on. i know it was done with the evo. i had an hp elitebook with a slate battery which lasted like 32 hrs hence my bringing up this subject. and non-stock extended covers have alot of room. imagine having a 8000+mah battery in your phone after filling that cover in with batteries. pretty tempting. i wouldnt mind the weight and the size is the same anyway.

well actually now that i think of it itll relieve the load off the other batteries itll be divided among the two. which means faster charging and less heat. if you solder them properly and secure them afterwards there shouldnt b a risk of a shortage happening. if a short were to happen batteries would explode. phone cant be shorted unless you play with the circuit which we arent.
thats how the transformer prime works in a way.

the batteries will always even out to maintain a constant voltage and ampere load would be distributed causing less stress on the batteries

with lithium ion, if you truly double the mAh battery life should go a little more than double. reason being is that at lower voltage, which is in about the last 30% of the battery, the phone will draw a higher current draining the battery faster. now when you double capacity the voltage dropps alot slower so the phone spends alot more time at higher voltage meaning a smaller draw of ampere so longer life.

please correct me if im wrong
 
If the cell companies could do it, they already would be. So there is obviously a reason why we don't have bigger smaller batteries. It would be nice though.

bigger smaller? well the cost of designing a lithium setup to fit into the body of the back cover and recreating chips and balancers is not worth it for the companies that make extended batts they just stack two regulr size on top of each other. manufacturers dont even like the idea of an extended battery and a back cover filled with lithium ion would add alot to the weight. :/

not to mention they ruin the look n feel of the phone lol.

I dont think you can stack to reg batteries and it work correctly. The y would need to be wired in series so the output stayed the same. Most new phones have builtin voltage regulation, but I wouldnt risk my device like that lol

i think u got parallel and series mixed first we have to connect it parallel to maintain constant voltage. second there is no way u can connect series or increase the voltage by more than 0.5v without frying the heck out of the phone.
the voltage regulation is on a range of 1 volt at most we have 3.7 volt batteries.

and as for the devices looking crappy after an extended battery i can agree with u on that but i have big hands so it actually feels nicer in my hand but until You help us out to extend our battery life were guna have to resort to extended batteries so p.g. youre our only hope....

yea you get what I mean lol, long as one last about 12hrs I dont cry over it lol. ;)
