Default Verizon Ext. Battery

Hey guys,

Verizon hooked me up with an extended battery and just thought I would let you all know that yes, it comes with another back that is about 1mm thicker, BUT this battery will fit w/the STOCK cover also!!!

Just thought that might make some folks excited.

It was marked 49.99 or so but they gave it to me free since I settled for a refurb instead of waiting... I figured It still has the warr. as the new if anything happened and having an extra batt. is always nice.

This was through the customer service phone line.

Anyone know when an external charger will become available? Such a hassle constantly taking out and putting in batteries

do you know if there will be another extended battery that will be larger and require a new cover? the reason i would like to have that is because it would fit nicely under the hump at the top of the phone and make the whole back of the phone appear to be flat. that is kind of what i was hoping for when i found out that verizon was making an extended battery .....

Well, this batt. is made by Moto and is rated 1850 or 1880 Mah. I can't remember, but it fits fine with the stock door.

There have been reports of screen distortion when attaching the stock cover with this battery. In other words, it's putting a potentially dangerous amount of pressure on the internals of the phone. It sounds like the distortion is only there while putting the cover on. Regardless it sounds rather disconcerting.

Obviously Moto is selling the extended battery with a different cover for a reason. So use the stock one with caution.
