Default Motorola Atrix 2 Extended Battery

Received my Motorola Extended Battery just now in the mail, draining it then will recharge fully to test it for full day tomorrow.

First impressions, it adds a little bulk, some protruding from the back. Replacement case has soft touch but doesnt feel as nice as regular back casing.



Current Devices
Motorla Atrix HD Maxx
Samsung Galaxy S3


Past Phones
Motorola Razr HD GSM
HTC One X - Galaxy Nexus - Motorola Atrix 2
Motorola Atrix - Samsung Galaxy S2 i777
Samsung Captivate - HTC Evo
Iphone 4 - Iphone 3gs - Iphone 3g - Iphone 2g

Hi guys! Can you tell me WHERE you ordered the extended battery? I've been trying to find it everywhere but no luck.

I ordered mine in-store at an at&t store, and got it shipped to my house.
I did order when it said "temporarily out of stock" (as it still does now, sku 40528 on att's site) but it took a couple days to get it sent out.

edit: fixed the sku, though googling for "sku5380297" will still find it faster (can't post a link yet)

Hey Shanghei, have you seen increased battery life? Bimmerd00d isn't, was wondering if that's true for you too.

Default Moto Atrix 2 extended battery and case/cover

Hello,
I just bought this extended battery for the Atrix 2, and it is awesome!!!
it extends my battery life and I get a full day's charge out of the phone.
I was only getting less than a half day out of regular battery and had to charge it up after lunch... Although I am new to this phone and am trying/figuring things out so I may drain the battery faster than normal, and was considering not keeping the phone since the regular battery drained sooooo fast... But, with this new extended battery I think it is like 2700 mh battery, it makes this phone so nice.

It does not increase the size too much, but is noticeably heavier. I'm talking about the larger Motorola battery from their website or AT&T. I bought it from the AT&T store and am Glad I did... If you need more battery life then I recommend buying this extended battery - you will be glad :) you did...

I placed an order on the Motorola Store. They are shipping in 4-5 days. Will see how it goes!

Which Motorola store ? I keep popping onto the Motorola site and it still says coming soon. Battery life on the A2's been better then I expected, but I could certainly use more. I really want the battery so that the camera lens is a little more protected without having to get a bulky case.

Does the new back still feel as snug/solid as the original ?

Motorola support told me the phone should still fit with the car and HD docking stations with the extended battery pack. Any idea if this is true ?
& Thanks for the pictures.

The HD docking station has space for the extended battery pack. The car adapter supposedly has a removable "shell" to fit the extended battery.

It does fit pretty snugly, though the bottom part on mine sorta gives in and squeaks a little if you press it in below the settings/home buttons. I could probably put a layer of electrical tape under the battery door to make it feel more solid though it doesn't concern me.

As far as the Motorola store goes, it looks like it shows "coming soon" if you try to get to the battery listing from the atrix 2 page, but if you come at it from the batteries and chargers page, it shows it in stock.
Currently second on the list here and it allows me to add it to my cart.

Another option for those want an extended battery but not quite so extended, mugen power just released an extended battery for the bionic with 2000mAh instead of 1735mAh.

(bionic uses the same batteries as the atrix 2, since it's normal size you wouldn't need a battery cover)
