Yeah I have the Chinese batt but trying to find a way to make it have full charge, aftera few cycles it's lasting about 1½ the time of the stock batt and getting better. I also just got a external charger hoping that will help a bit but if the seidio is better hands down like some people say I'll drop the cash on it.

I don't have hard evidence really besides my everyday use over the last few months with extended batteries. I have the 3000 Mah Chinese battery and use to think it was pretty good, definitely better than stock. I finally bought the seidio 3500 Mah on eBay for twenty bucks about 2 weeks ago and its alot better than the Chinese one in my opinion. It lasts quite a bit longer for me. I run a SBC kernel too so that makes a difference somewhat but I love the seidio battery and recommended it. Or the rebeanded platinum one as it is cheaper on eBay and is the same one.

I have the 3500-2 for 35 with off brand external charger lithium ion chinese battery(ebay) and the sprint 2600 59.99(hell of a lot cheaper now) lithium polymer I alternate them off of an external seidio charger. Ive had both over 4 months and at first the 3500 lasted longer almost 30+ light use w/**** load of texting but over time the 2600 is more consistent and now last over 2hrs longer with moderate use 24-26 hrs. Give or take 2hrs but Same result with each rom i have used Latest Miui, Cm7, Virus, Mikfroyo, Vaelpak, Ava Z3, Fresh, Myns Warm, list goes on yes imma flash a folic. I change Roms every 2weeks. Oh yeah for sense netarchy kernal 4.3.1 cfs havs and non sense used savage 0.1.2 bfs havs wimax no setcpu seems to screw battery stabilization up for me. Cost definitely chinese you pay for what you get, longevity and more stable sprint 2600

I got my 3500 from quickshippers on Amazon. It's about half the cost of the seidio and I personally like the back replacement more.

My friend has that one it lasts about as long as the Chinese from ebay does
But any way I bit the the bullet and just got a seidio from Amazon for 50 bucks after a day I can tell this battery is better.
I guess you actually do get what you pay for with them hmm who would have guessed.
But now I have 3 stock batts and 4 extended batts


**** I got carried away with this
