My one year old Jasjar has started dying when the battery has 60-70% power remaining. Looking at the other threads here it sounds like the solution is to replace the battery. I'm thinking I want to get one of the extended batteries, but I don't want to increase the size of the Jasjar by too much. I've discovered that there are quite a few extended battery options, and it looks like they add between about .5cm and 1cm, but many stores don't mention how much the batteries add. Additionally, I've seen some posts that suggest that some of the cheaper batteries don't correctly report their remaining charge status and the Jasjar simply reports 100% charged no matter how much power is remaining.

If any of you have one of the extended batteries, can you please give me the following information:

1 - mA capacity of battery
2 - size increase when battery is installed
3 - whether the built in power meter works correctly with the battery
4 - where the battery was purchased

Thanks much,
Brett

1 - mA capacity of battery (3800mAh)
2 - size increase when battery is installed (extra 9mm)
3 - whether the built in power meter works correctly with the battery (works correctly)
4 - where the battery was purchased (expansys)

enjoy!

Are you sure it does not increase the thickness? Because from what I can see, IT DOES INCREASE THE THICKNESS, that is why there is a cover included. You are referring to this: http://www.mobixhk.com/product_info.php?products_id=122&osCsid=9e76ca40892bbff9e68cb6d07a6c7297

What is sad is it is only 2200 as compared to the other extended batteries out there which also increases the thickness, and they have 3200 and 4800 capacities. So why should we settle for something that also increases the thickness with a lesser capacity? I'd rather go for the higher capacity battery, but this is just me of course.
