Lightbulb Extended Battery

Even though the back of the Evo Lte is not removable, it technically can be with a tool. Do you think it's possible that an extended battery will be made? Or will we see battery case first?

I wouldn't mind seeing an extended battery that is not so huge it's ugly. Maybe like 2400 mah or something with a smaller after market battery door.

It all depends how much more they can fit in that size of battery before causing issues, and if the flex cable is the same. And if you could get a bigger extended battery, you would need a new frame, and hopefully everything works well so the battery doesn't crush the board/lcd when its fully put back together.

I'm just speculating, but I suspect HTC crammed the largest battery they could in the available space. I can't imagine why they would leave any excess room. Also, it's probably safe to conclude that replacing the stock battery with another one would void your warranty. If I end up needing more juice than what is already there, I will probably get one of those portable power packs that offer three to five thousand milli-amps of extra capacity.

I went ahead and purchased this:

http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-IMP6...ref=pd_sim_e_7

It has really good reviews, plus, you can charge it via USB instead of one the giant wall chargers. Should come in handy with my trip to Europe next month!

I was just looking at that one earlier this morning. It is now on my wish list so I don't have to go searching for it later.

Another one to look at is http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-IMP7...srch_res_rtr_1 - It is slightly larger, but instead of 500 mAh and 1A it charges at 2.1A and 1A, this allows for a lot better charging of pretty much any portable device, including tablets/ipad.
