Battery Upgrades

[alexdog69]

has anyone ever found a battery that's better than the stock unit?

and no, not the humpback crazy one with the new battery cover.

something like the Seidio battery that Palm Treo users have available ... it's 2,400mAh whereas the stock is somewhere around 2,000 mAh .. same dimensions but heavier ...

Hey,
I`m looking for one too.
Has anybody an idea where I can get a cheap one? (In Germany)
What about the China Batterys?

That depends which version of the battery you have...

O2 have always shipped the larger 1250mAh battery rather than the default HTC 1000mAh battery. The 1250mAh tends to last about two days of heavy use.

There is an extended battery of over 2000mAh but that sticks out like huge lump.

1000mAh

Messiah, I advise you to be careful in using aftermarket batteries for any electronic device. More often than not, price is directly related to quality. Cheaper batteries typically do not match the OEM battery's output capacities for volts & amps, and typically they supply a faster charge, not slower. Accelerated charging can damage your device. I know a few people who have damaged their phones/PDAs after using an aftermarket piece. If you are really interested in another battery, I would spend the extra $$ and buy an OEM one from HTC, from an authorized reseller (i.e service provider), or at least a battery that has numerous positive online reviews from users.

If you are concerned about battery life, you might consider investing in a Triple Charger - it can charge the Wizard from a car (DC) outlet, in your home (AC), or in an emergency. You can attach two 9-Volt batteries to the charger, and charge your device that way, regardless of your location. You can use regular or rechargeable 9V batteries. Here is a link to the charger bundle for the Wizard - if you decide to order, enter the redemption code xdadev to receive 10% off your order:
