Default 1900 mAh batteries

Has anyone tried these:

I am hoping someone guineapigged themselves and can give some feedback. I really want to extend my battery but I must have a case, and we don't have a case for the HTC 2100 yet. Not to mention I read in here somewhere it doesn't add that much life.
Anyone?

I have the extended slim battery from Muegen batteries and love it

Definitely gave me more life than the OE battery

Also ordered their dock with the extra battery slot and couldn't be happier!

The Muegen battery is more than twice as expensive, and out of stock. I'm gonna give the CHICHITEC battery a try. Should get it around Wednesday next week.

Yeah, a battery is something that I would want to skimp out on and get a cheap one, to only have it malfunction and take my device with it

Never heard of that company either

Seidio also has a slim extended 1750mAh: http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi17htshf.htm

I'm generally careful with the battery situation. I also know that these expensive batteries are needlessly expensive. There seems to be a lot of emphasis on the function of these CHICHITEC batteries, and a lot of pride in the name, but that really isn't saying much.

I'll check it out and report back, though. It's pretty cheap so I don't mind incurring the cost. If it catches me on fire or whatever, I'll be sure to warn against it

I bought those for my Incredible and use them for my Incredible 2. They're really great they even gave me a coupon for htcexpress.com code OFF10 for 10% ill assume its the same people from Amazon. There are a few problems. There is a small gap on the right side since the battery is bigger and you have to drain your battery until its dead for it to charge efficiently. From my experience I get 24 hours that's two nights just the screen off before root.

I literally just received it, so I can't review its capacity...

However, I can confirm its fit is not perfect. It is slightly thicker than the stock battery, and this is enough to make the cover bulge on one side. I removed the red label and this allowed it to close enough for my taste. I could probably shave the cover to get a better fit, but eh, not worth the potential damage.

Note: removing the red label exposes a metal cover. More than likely this is not connected to any circuitry nor chemical in the battery so it should be safe to handle and use. However, if you are not comfortable with exposing a metal cover like this, then don't take the label off.

It came charged a little over half full. It's charging now, we'll find out tomorrow how well it works.

I went ahead and dumped a bad review on amazon for the poor fit. Others may not be as comfortable with modding things as I am.

Sorry I'm acting like a kid. I have issues with delayed gratification.
Thanks for the quick reply, I look forward to hearing how you like it in the coming days.
