Anyone tried high capacy batteries for our Wizard?

I found one Ebay a 2350mAh battery and would like to know if it really expands the battery life a lot!

I have the extended battery for my T-Mobile MDA. Works great, gets about 3 days under continuous usage at work. Never had the normal battery, but with the extended it doesn't seem to have any battery issues I read about before purchasing my device. I got mine on ebay too, they're from some cheapo Japanese manufacturer, but working well so far.

what's the mah that comes standard with our varios?

I bought one of those 2400 mAh batteries and it makes the difference of a couple of days. It's funny, tho...the standard battery sits at 100% forever and then when it starts dropping, it appears to drop relatively quickly. The 2400 mAh battery, on the other hand, appears to drop fairly quickly until it hits 50%. Then it sits there forever before dropping below that. But anyway, the stock battery would last me about three days, the large one lasts about 5.

Thanks for the answers!

I checked but it seems that the extended batteries are also a lot thicker.
And you will get a new backcase because otherwise it wont fit...

I do like a good extended battery but I dont want my phone to be any bigger

An alternative might be one of those battery powered "quick chargers"....I saw a link for one on a .nl site somewhere in this section. Anyway, I believe it uses a AA battery and it appeared to have a wizard compatible plug. You could always keep a couple charged NiCad AA batteries in your pocket and if your phone battery runs low, give it a boost with the charger. Then you get some extra battery life without increasing the size of the phone itself.

i have one from lion battery.....love it.

got pictures of how much bigger the battery sticks out on the mda ? thanks in advance

It will stick out a fair bit:



I find the standard (1250mAh, not the 1000mAh) battery lasts for two full working days plus travel time worth of heavy use. I use it for listening to music for about six hours a day as well as working.

I charge it every two days and find this good. If I only use it as a phone it can go all week with one charge.

I replaced the standard Cellexpert battery with the one from Sino that is also rated at 1250 mAh and it seems to last approximatelly 50% longer than the original one. Maybe it is fresher or the mAh rating is more conservative than that of Cellexpert.
