Anyone use this battery?

Anyone use the Innocell 3500mah battery yet on their Eris?

Im a new user still (my account was made in Feb 2008) because of my low post count, so I can't post links but it goes for 49 dollars on Amazon.

That's a good price and I would like to pick it up, but I wanted hear some user experiences. I always have my phone at 768Mhz with some profiles for Screen Off etc, but I end up having to charge my phone within a couple hours under heavy use. So this looks like a perfect fit for me.

Any input would be appreciated.

There's lots more you can do to make sure your battery is good.

Is your Mail app syncing very often? Open mail, hit menu, and open up your settings and take a look at how often the refresh interval is. Once every 15 minutes will chew some battery. Once every 2 hours won't.

Hit home > menu > settings > accounts and sync, check out your facebook, and facebook for HTC Sense.

I UNCHECK the box for sync contacts under the HTC Sense one. Why? because it already synced my pictures once. The other option there is to hit the 'Check frequency' to once a day (saves a ton of battery, that facebook sync is a huge battery killer).

Also, if you don't use push Gmail, I'd turn off Always-On Mobile.

I use my Gmail, and even the company I work for switched our servers over to gmail, so I use the fact that it pushes right to my phone, exactly when I get gmail. I accept that my phone will only last one day if I have Always-On Mobile turned on.

ANYWAY,

I have the 1750mah battery from Seidio, and definitely notice a few more hours per day of use.

If I turn off 'Always-On Mobile', I can make the phone last 4 or 5 days. I just charge it when I go to bed at night though. Not a big deal for now.

I may or may not wind up getting the 3500mah eventually. That thing's a tank. I hear lots of great things.

I picked up the 3500 mAh battery last friday. It came with a 75% charge and once it was full, plus leaving it on the charger for another 2 hours as per directions it lasted for just under 40 hours with moderate usage!! Now I can actually use this phone the way it was meant to be used. I am now averaging about 37 hours per charge with heavy usage(i.e. 2 to 3 hours of last.FM, downloads and lots of browsing)

does it fit it the phone fine?

i mean do you have to have the back cover off when you use the battery.

please post the link for the battery i really want to try it out.


EDIT: never mind i found it on ebay and it comes with it's own case and i don't need the link

here is the link for anyone that does want it: http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trk...All-Catagories

might have to get this one....

I've had mine for close to a month now. Running at stock speeds (528 for those of you that don't remember ) I maxed out at 63 hours with normal usage. Running at 710 with moderate to heavy usage I get at least 40 hours. The only thing that really drags it down is when I do a lot of wireless tethering. I still get around 20 hours out of it though.

One thing I noticed with it, after it's done charging, unplug it, use the web for a few minutes to get it down to 98-99% then plug it back in until fully charged again. It lasts 2-3 hours longer that way. Don't ask me why, but it does.

It's an amazing battery and gives you something more to grab on to, making the phone more comfortable to hold. With the new froyo roms, namely Cyanogen Tazz, my battery life is insane with this thing.

Just asking, I had my Eris for a couple months and got it replace a bunch of times for the track ball. Eventually I switched to moto Droid but I still have my two batteries ones 2 weeks old the other a little over 2 months along with 2 chargers and USB cables. Also have back covers. The phones I had to send back though. If you or any ones interested so you can switch batteries when one dies that's what I was doing just charged both at night before bed. If interested let me know just pm me.

Sent from Droid using, Sapphire v1.0.0/ 928Droid Black Glass 2.2 Theme/ Sholes 1.0 Ghz 7 Slot Kernel.

I have that battery and get 2 to 3 full days before a recharge. Well worth it

Sent from my Eris using XDA App

Had the Innocell 3500mah battery for 3 months - many hrs of day with no signal, using wi-fi and will last 30 + hrs. with good signal - 2 days - best thing I've done since rooting the phone. Brother got the 1700 one and it was a joke when back to stock battery - get the big one.

I have the same exact one (1750) and I usually get almost two days use out of it (Thanks to KaosFroyo). I have the same reason for not getting the 3500, well that and it wouldn't fit my Seidio case either, you think they would have made a matching case for the 3500, but oh well.

Though I haven't found the equivalent of the "Always on mobile" option on Froyo yet.
