Default Quality brand for battery?

I am looking to upgrade my battery, but as I read through these forums all i see is people complaining about crappy Chinese made battery's that work good at 1st but then suck after a month or so.

What brand has the best quality?
SEIDIO
4U
MU**** (some name i can't remember)

anyone have an opinion

Thank You

If you're looking for a battery that doesn't need an extended cover, I can recommend the Andida. I picked up an Andida 1600mAh battery off of eBay, shipped from Hong Kong. I've only had it for less than 2 weeks, so I couldn't tell you about performance degredation. However, I can tell you that the battery does perform significantly better than the OEM HTC battery that came with the phone. I did a little bootlegged battery test with the Andida and found that it had about 30% better battery life than the stock HTC one. Good luck finding the right battery...

I've talked about this many times on here. This is the BEST battery for the G1 IMO. http://tinyurl.com/g1batt. Can't say enough about it and I have six months of use to back it up.

you're referring to Mugen. and idk about the others, like the chinese and stuff. the Andida seems to be quality, wish i knew about it before i bought the 2600mah seidio...
everyone also says that Seidio is quality. out of the list here i would recommend you to them. try the andida i guess. man oh man why did i spend $50 when i could have spent $15... and even three andida batteries for the same price >.<
