Hopefully most everyone knows this, but this is almost certainly a knock-off.
1) OEM extended batteries don't cost $4 (now $3)
2) The part # is not the same. Notice the carefully placed dash. Even if it was exactly the same, that doesn't mean it's truly HTC.
That being said, I've had mixed results w/ "brand x" batteries and some are decent.
I bought the one from Amazon for $2.98 just because it was that cheap. Just got it yesterday, but didnt pick up the extended cover yet.
Good god this Rezound camera takes some good macro shots. Picked up tons of detail. Disregard the water on top, I was holding a drink.

Please lemme know what you think of the $3 battery. I might pick a couple up if they're decent.
Agreed on the camera...It takes great pictures. I don't even feel like I need to qualify that with "for a phone". It just takes great pictures. Never thought I'd say that.

I bought 2 of them...they are the same exact thing as the Rezound's extended battery, just black color and marketed for the thunderbolt. Both get 3 days on a single charge and haven't had one problem with them yet
I would love to get that much out of any battery I use. Heck I would just be happy to make it a day without killing a battery. Do you use push mail or anything? I just don't see how you can get that much life out of the battery. I sync with two email addresses, and have beautiful widgets set to update every three hours. Other than that, I don't really have anything set to sync every so often.
I have 4 emails and use fancy widgets synching every hour on ineffabilis with custom battery tweaks. Screen on time for 3 days is usually around 6 hours

That's an interesting outlook. I have been using one of these for nearly two months now with no issues. It has worked perfectly. I have another actual HTC extended battery which I alternate with this one and there is no perceivable difference between the two.

I just got two of them myself. They're identical to the original one I got from htcpedia. I think htcpedia might have realized that the only difference between the Rezound and thunderbolt batteries is the color so they swapped them out as a cheaper alternative..?

It is also likely that someone now has to move a bunch of Thunderbolt batteries because they didn't sell when the Thunderbolt was hot.
Just a guess.

I have yet to use it. I just bought it because it was cheap and was looking for an extended battery. I still need an extended battery cover, so until then.
What are you all using for cases for this battery? i like the hard silicon was for the normal battery(aren't bulky). But i think I might get an extended one for vacations and stuff, that take frequently... i thought I saw it posted somewhere but I can't find it now.
These are what I bought:
Case
Battery
Back Cover
Everything is working awesome. For under $50...You can't go wrong!
Not as much as I thought it would have. Fits comfortably in my pocket and the kickstand comes in real handy

4And if you're looking for an additional extended battery (you already have the extended back), you can get a Thunderbolt extended battery real cheap here:

Note that the picture in the description does not match the actual battery. But go to the htcpedia.com Site and look at the Rezound extended battery options and you'll see that the Thunderbolt extended battery fits just fine in the Rezound and has the exact same model number that is listed in the Amazon link. Mnfg Part #: 35H00149-01M

And yes, the Thunderbolt extended battery works perfectly fine in the Rezound. Here is my video proving it:

Logged into my vzw acct and it only gave me a discount of 44.99 for the extended battery, cleared my cart and logged out of my account now it gave me the 50% discount of 29.99 (from 59.99), logged back in and it kept the price. You won't see the discount until you add it to your cart.
Not sure if it was a glitch or Verizon trying to get more money out of its customers.
But hopefully this helps anyone looking to buy this.1
