Seidio extended battery

I've been using it and it has been fine. Haven't noticed a huge difference in battery life, but it may not be fully broken in yet. It has to be better than the original though...
 
I had the 1750mAh Seidio battery in my Inc 2 for a few days, but started getting some random reboots. While it was in, I noticed a little improvement in battery life, but I hadn't used the phone a lot since I switched to it. I have no idea if the random reboots are actually from the battery though, but I took it out and put the original battery in just to see. It seems like no one can quite figure out why they're getting random reboots.

I have mime from origional Inc, filed off tabs on corners, works great. Get about 20% better battery life. You notice it towars end of day.

I've noticed that as well, namely, that the battery life % seems to go down quickly during the beginning of the day, and then seems to hold out much longer at the end of the day.

Any clue why that is? I wish there was a way to calibrate it so you get an accurate read on battery % remaining throughout the day...
 
I ordered one to try. Hopefully it nets about 10 - 20 % battery which should be fine for my needs. I didn't want to end up with monster phone which is why I decided to get the seidio.

Running it down to 0 then fully charging, repeat a couple times will usually help.

I know there is a calibration tool in the market but i don't know if it's only for rooted phones.

I love using battery left widget from market. It is the best battery app I've used.
And while I haven't had a seidio battery I love their cases. I think they make good products
