Good Battery

[ambush276]

here is a good one, i will probably be ordering.

i mean SEDIO is really pricey, these well are 100 mah less, but like 1/6 the cost..

seidio makes good quality batteries... personally, i would not consider the one in the link you posted because, if battery issues arise, you're pretty much stuck with the battery. conversely, with seidio, if the battery issues arise, i can send it back for a replacement (as long as it's within the warranty period). i've been using the Seidio 1500 mAh battery for 2+ weeks and it DOES provide more "up" time before a recharge is necessary...

i bought this battery only $6 w/ shipping so we will see.!

[ambush276]

the batttery works well. It was a great investment. I can leave BT on ALL DAY, and still have Battery left over... Great!

Glad to know the batteries are great.

Just bought too from the same seller.

Thanks!

Great find. For $7 to my door its worth a try. Even if it isnt the fantastic it will make a great spare.

[jim256]

anyone care to comment on how this battery actually performs or if it is having any problems? really interesting find...
thanks, Jim.

[ambush276]

no the battery is great. I get through a normal day from around 8 am- 7 pm. on a full charge. BUt... i do use the phone.. Probably around 10-15 minutes of calling, 20 minutes of slingplayer mobile, 20 minutes of internet searching, 10-20 texts, read email once an hour, and listen to music w pocketplayer for X amount of time??? and i still have around 10-20 % battery life left at 6. Since i have the other battery, if im going out that night, i can just flip it out and its good, but for the whole work day and that amount of use (i have screen on full brightness as well.) it works great. When the screen is not fully bright i can get through the night easliy as well (hard to read in sunlight though...)

i also bought the digipower power extension (3400 mah battery pack) this is for skiing. I put it in my camelpack, and it lasts the entire ski day while playing music, with then some to spare. That is only $30 and its about the same size as the phone. The other great thing is that can also work for airplanes as well as it plugs into usb , so any usb device!! still only $7 for the 1400 mah batt, not badd....

thank you very much for that great detailed response. is that more than what you would normally get out of your OEM 1100mah battery?
like what would those figures have been had you been using the original battery?

Thanks very much, Jim.

It has been said that the battery is good.

I mean... 7$ , delivered to your door!

And you're still not quite sure... :D

[No1ustad]

the 1400Mah one for $7 fits in the OEM case?

also, would u still have bought it given the choice of the new 2000MaH battery from seidio?

Yeah, the 1400mah fits the original case.

No, I would not consider a 2000mah battery because of:

- The price
- The bulk
- The additionnal back plate.

14$ for two 1400mah battery.
15$ for a desktop cradle dual battery charger.

S/H included.

That's all I will ever need!

well the stock battery is "good". but im not gonna give away $7 (even tho thats not much) if its not going to do anything more than the stock battery. thats...completely pointless. i was just trying to get some #'s on the stock battery vs the ebay one to see if it was even worth bothering with.

[No1ustad]

The only reason i'm slightly wary is that it's not OEM...

Is this something I should be worried about? would TEP through sprint still take care of me in store? I hate asurion...

My battery came but it is the wrong one. its too big all the way around and it has too many contacts. ill let you know how they handle customer service.

so how is it? lasting much longer than your original? and you have the cdma vogue right? not the gsm elf.

[vicsingh71]

yes, mawst95, plz let us know if you are using the battery for the sprint touch/vogue and if the battery is reliable in terms of performance. TIA

Hi, sorry I wasn't subscribed to this thread.

Yes, they seem to work fine. I haven't compared them to the OEM battery in any sort of analytical way. My reception and programs I run vary so much that it would be pretty difficult to do a fair comparison. My anecdotal experience is that they work comparably to the original. How long they'll last (#cycles), who knows. If there's anything specific you want me to test, let me know. Yes, CDMA version of the vogue (Sprint Touch).

I also bought one, and he shipped a different battery that didn't fit. He insisted that I email a photo of the battery to prove it which I did. He said I was right, he had sent the wrong battery, and he would send me the right one. He also wants me to (at my cost) mail him back the wrong battery he sent me. I told him I would only do that when he puts $1.80 (cost of mailing it to Hong Kong) into my PayPal account since it was his mistake not mine. After numerous inquiries he finally responded that he has shipped a replacement, but it is almost 2 weeks ago and I still haven't received it.

[treo4life]

Just ordered one of these.

[CMeys]

I just got the replacement for the 1400 maH battery I had gotten on eBay (he had originally sent the wrong one). This one fits and does work. I haven't used it long enough though test battery life.

[clockcycle]

Same vendor sells a 2200 on ebay, but no mention of a replacement back to hold it. Does anyone have this one?

[eder]

anyone find a case/holster/etc that will fit the extended battery?
