Time to replace my stock evo battery ?

---

Its been a year since i got this phone and the poor battery has had nothing but heavy usage the the entire time. Im wondering how after 500+ charges a evi battery should be holding up and what the life span of it is till its time to replace after heavy usage and on quite a few ocvasions more than one full charge per day.. Old age is a bitch haha. Thanks guys

Unless you notice it's not holding a charge like it used to, heating up a lot, or swelling up, I'd say it's still perfectly fine.

First 75% or so just drops fast. 75% through 25% so so and the last 25% holds strong like the whole 100% used to. I wasnt sure if it because miks rom and heavier usage from 3.0 though?

They are cheap enough, worse case you now have two batteries in case it dies.

U got the point there. U made up my mind. I hear u cant get one thats 2000mah that fits under the stock hood? I havent found one online, any suggestions?

Yea I wouldn't mind finding that battery too. I really don't want to make my phone thicker with the big extended battery.

We're comin from a pure power source.

Usually batteries typically should last a year (or longer) but when I used to work at tmo I found that they start to lose full charge at around 8 months; im only speaking for HTC batteries based on my exp w/ their devices. If you can get another one id say go for it.

The batteries are indeed cheap, I bought the two 1800mA with external charger and almost exclusively use the 1800mA.
