Default Digital Energy Extended Battery for Infuse 4g

So I went into work today and saw that we had receiving a shipment of extended batteries for the Infuse. I decided to purchase the battery for my phone since I was planning on buying a backup one anyway. Needless to say, the battery is larger than the original, much larger. It comes with the back plate to replace the factory one for the extended battery. When I put it in it had 63% charge, I have been trying to drain this thing all night to get it to turn itself off from no charge, so I can fully recharge it. It has been 9 hours and 2% is left. I will update this once I fully charge it, and post the screen shot of the full drain stats.

I know Radio Shack sells Digital Energy. I haven't seen an Infuse extended battery there but I have seen one for the Rumor Touch :/

I purchased a 3500mAh extended battery from amazon a while back. It also came with back plate. It was $9.99 + $3 shipping. I get amazing battery life now. Roughly like this.....


Very light-light use: 2.5-3 days
Medium use: 1.5 days
VERY heavy use: 14-16 hours.

It was the best $13 i ever spent on this phone...

The original battery was more like this.....

VERY light use: 22-24 hours
Medium use: 8-10 hours
VERY Heavy use: 4-5 hours

I work at the Shack. And i get about 28 hours mild to heavy use. Wifi gps and brightness always on. Still trying to get a proper screen shot. should have it up today. And the entended battery is two times tthe size of the original. Adds about an inch of tthickness to back of phone. Also weighs slightly more illget the specifics soon. Dont expect to find a case to fit, there isnt one. you could cut a hole in a silicone case but i havent ttried it.

Default Pics

Pictures of extended/regular battery size, these are at 800 pixels, I am not sure what the size requirements are for pictures if they are too big let me know for future reference. The battery usage pics will be posted later tonight if the battery has drained itself by then:
Original in phone
Extended in phone
Batteries side by side
