Because who wants to run around with three batteries in their pockets?

I wouldn't buy from those manufacturers if I were you. Check out batteryboss.org. Some guy evaluated those battery capacity claims and a lot of them are flat out lies.

Default Re: Extended battery life ???

I have been a Seidio customer for years and have always being very pleased with their extended battery solutions for all my devices. My experience is that they did extend the battery life of my devices significantly. Without a reputable protocol and some raw data I will trust my previous experience over "some guys" who did "some tests".

Sorry to tell you this, but...

http://batteryboss.org/ These guys are testing a variety of aftermarket batteries for their true capacities, and the one you purchased is included n their test. They only got 1100 mAh out of the actual battery, under the name TP2 Andida, new in their chart.

Good thing you only spent ten bucks, though.

No kidding, the TP2 battery fits? That's the EXACT same battery the hero uses!!

Luckily, I bought two of them, and just got a TP2 as my work phone. That means I suppose, that I have four batteries

btw, those batteries probably aren't 2000mA, but they're nearly as good if not a little better than stock, and for ten bucks each, not too bad.

EDIT - Duh, I see you said you got it from the Hero forums.

Seidio hasn't released their 3500 mAh extended battery for the Evo yet. I'm patiently waiting, as I bought that battery for my hero. I went from charging every day, to every other day.
