Well, I do. I've used nothing but Seidio batteries for the last 5 years. Started with my HTC PPC-6700 (had the giant 3200mA one or whatever it was), then with my HTC PPC-6800 (the extended life, same physical size), and most recently my HTC Touch Pro (again, the 1500mA, same physical size). All of them consistently performed better than the OEM batteries.Are there any extended users of the seido large capacity batteries? When I was over at crackberry everyone stated that at first the batteries did what they were advertized to do, but after a few months there were users that kept coming back and stating that the battery no longer would charge, or it wouldn't hold as much charge as expected, and some even reported that the battery's casing was getting bloated and wouldn't fit in the phone as easily. Just wondering if anyone has had any long term experience with these batteries
I guess since these companies can not make money on proprietary cables anymore, they are now gouging us with batteries.

Someone PM'd me to ask me how the results were going with my new TP2 battery that I've had for a couple of days. So I thought I would share with everyone in case anyone else is interested, so here goes.
Keep in mind, I'm a very heavy user. I'm an eCommerce Director so I get a couple hundred emails a day. I've probably had about 100 of those so far today and I'm connected via Active Sync to our corporate email with direct push enabled. I also have my Gmail connected and my Yahoo checking every hour. I also have the native facebook app and bloo facebook app going (one for personal, one for work). I also have Twidroid running and checking every 30 minutes. It checks two accounts (again, one personal and one work account) I've only spoken on the phone twice dotay and probably only for a total of 5 minutes. I have forced my screen to be 50% brightness. I have no BT or WiFi enabled. I have also read my FeedR RSS reader several times this morning and checked the AndroidForums via TapaTalk a couple of times. I've also tooled around in a couple of other programs like my TD Ameritrade app and PageOnce office Assistant checking balances and such. Oh, yeah and I updated 3 programs and installed a new one (DropBox's new App, LOVE IT!)
So here's where I stand. I'm on my 2nd day (cycle) with the TP2 battery and my phone says I've been "unplugged" for 5 1/2 hours and I have 65% battery life. So by my estimation I will be at about 50% at 7 hours. That means I'll get at least 14 hours of heavy use out of it and that's only after 2 charging cycles. I imagine that I will end up at around 15-16 hours after 5 or so charging cycles. With the standard battery I would get 8-10 hours and that's after the "typical break in period". So that's a pretty good increase.
Even so, I did just order the Seidio 1750 mAh to give it a try. I'm not satisfied unless I have juice to spare and I ran out at 9:30 last night in the middle of replying on the forums of all times. Lost about a paragraph of thumb typed text
But that's it for now. I hope you found this helpful. I should have my Seidio battery by next Monday or so, and I will put that through it's paces. By then I will know for sure how well the HTC TP2 battery performed.
**EDIT**
Looks like I was late to the game![]()
so since the OEM TP2 battery works on the Incredible, would an aftermarket TP2 battery also work if it were the same size? Like the Seidio battery for the TP2?
If so, here is a link on Amazon for $39.99 with free shipping!

Look up the page a little... my response is post #55.Good point. How reliable is that battery(brand)?

which is it? does the back cover fit or is there a gap somewhere?
