Default Stock Batt hosed in a few months :(

my stock evo4g Battery wont last much more than 4-5 hours. it seems to drain VERY fast, 10% in 30-40min...

i know i know, turn gps off, uncheck mobile network, cut back on widgets, blah blah blah... if i am going to do all that, i might as well go back to a flip phone or a stupid blackberry...

i have an amazing phone, i want to use it as such...

ive read the seido 1500 batt is more or less a waste. i DONT want to add any thickness to my Evo...

is the Stock Battery the best replacement?

Get the 1800 mah battery from eBay. Check the thread in the accessories forum for a link. I think it is htcexpress.com. mine lasts longer than stock and they are the same size, cheap too. I recommend an external battery charger to keep a spare charged.

I have the extended battery and i love it. Ican use my tune inradio for bout 8 hrs straight and still have juice left over. It adds a lil to the back but who cares. I can use my EVO for what it is intended for now.

I didn't want to add any thickness to my EVO either, but after using the 3500 battery for a while, I don't even notice the added thickness, and there's no way I'll go back. I can now fully utilize the EVO without worrying about power.

It really is that big of a difference.

Recalibrate the battery before you buy a new battery if you have been flashing roms then you battery stats are all over the place
