Probably the Seidio Slim Extended. It has I believe 1750maH and does not require you to use a different cover.
Sent from some kind of EVO with some kind of custom ROM.


If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

I've been using the Anker 1700ma and am really impressed. Big improvement for the $12.

I would say deffinatly the Seidio they will cost you a bit more then others, but they are built with higher standards and better quality "customer service" and it just makes it it a much better deal in the end.

I hope I helped if I did please hit the thanks button

^^ This! I'm on my second charge with this new battery. I currently have 10% left at almost 39 hours since I took it off the charger! Running Radiance 6.1 rom.

Getting similar life with the same battery on mikg 3.0. I've had them for about a month now and they seem to be holding up well *knocks on wood*.

For a few bucks more you can get 2 batteries and a charger on Amazon. Sorry, can't post the link.
Also, from what I've read, the seller on Amazon has crazy good customer service, they reply to many negative reviews to see what they can do to help.

The extended 2600mah from sprint is byfar the longest lasting, iv had a seido as well as a few other extended, and i stoped on this one, also get an sbc kernal, those are wonderful for battery life

The link you posted is not for a 'slim' extended battery. It requires a larger back battery cover.
