Same Battery As Incredible?

Trying to help a relative who just got the Thunderbolt out with battery life solutions. Everyone, myself included, with an Incredible ordered that HTC OEM 1500 mAh battery from ebay. Does the TB use the same battery so I can suggest she order one or will it not fit?

Thanks!
 
I was pi**ed off about this! I have an 1800 mAh that I used on my Inc and could easily get 48 hours between charges with. I figured I would just use it with my Bolt, but nope, the Bolt's battery is slightly smaller.

Smaller?! Wow! That I did not expect.

Anyone find a similar OEM battery that will work for the Thunderbolt on ebay or elsewhere? If so, please do share.
 
I too have an Incredible and an HTC Touch Pro 2 before that. Both the TP2 and the Incredible use the same battery. I was disappointed to find out that my Thunderbolt had a SMALLER physical battery and yet the phone is physically a Lot BIGGER!

Bummer.

Yea, smaller! I was shocked as well!

+1 for an OEM or any battery that will not make the phone a hunchback. Definitely interested

its more power than the Incredible battery, but the actual size is smaller

With 4G and the bigger screen, I wouldn't really call an extra 1000 mAH more powerful than the Incredible's. It's kind of a wash if you ask me. This phone should have shipped with at least a 1600mAh, IMO. I'm hoping I can find a battery similar to the one I had for my Inc. It was 1800 mAH and still fit under the stock battery cover. It was perfect

I think you meant 100 mAh. ;)

My guess is he was just saying that the "size" is smaller, not the "capacity," which I realized. I was just surprised anything on the TB is physically smaller than on the Incredible. haha

Anyway, yes, any battery with more juice that will fit under the stock hood would be ideal. Hopefully something comes around soon.

Hmmm, I'm not sure I want to spend $50 for an extra 200 mAh. Thanks for posting this, though, Patsfan. I think I'll wait till something a little bigger is available

You would unlikely even get more than the 1400 mAh stock comes with. Seidio's batteries have been pretty thoroughly tested, and they almost always come in well below the rated mAh. A rip for $50+.
