2150 mAH Extended Battery In Stock

[drPheta]

Just got the followup call from the VZW rep from my initial complaint about the 1300 mAH battery being stupidly inadequate. They let me know the 2150 is now in stock and it is $59.99 including the extended door.

I don't know anything about the physical dimensions of the battery, so don't ask me about that. I just know it is 2150 mAH, is HTC OEM, and it's available to order now.

Now, should I grab one of those or stick with the 1500 mAH TP2 battery.


EDIT: As of 5:23 EST, the website doesn't show it, however the VZW rep on the phone confirmed they have them in stock ready to order. *shrug*

 

[theoneownz]

on the phone with them now! They said it only for a specific area,
but they are attempting to order for direct shipping regardless

*Update Getting it guaranteed YEsssssssss
but the system isn't automatically taking off my 20% equipment discount.....
(Confirmed price $59.99)

**Update almost $15 discount making final price w/free shipping $47.70
Monday or Tuesday for delivery date

Note if you order the battery make sure you mention your equipment discount if you have one.

any chance of the seido innocase fitting with this battery?

I'll let you know. I've got the Innocase II with the 1750 mAh (extended cap but OEM city) batt, holstered in the Innocase II holster. I'll go to VZW around 1800 ET today and see if they have any of the 2150 mAh's in stock, in store. I'll report back to this thread in either event.

Personally the 1750 is working great. If the 2150 will fit the Innocase II (which would surprise me) I may get it. Otherwise I'll hold off until the Seidio 3500 mAh becomes available, and will get the proper case/holster then.

More to come!

hmmmmmm

how did it come out that you have more of a discount and it cost more for you lmao

probably because you DON'T live in the great state of California; with the nation's highest sales tax.

Well, I bit the bullet and ordered one. The 1500mAH gives me a full day and then some on normal/moderate usage. I'm hoping this battery gives me 2 days of normal/moderate usage and 1 full day of heavy usage (I'm talking Navigation, lots of 3G internet, and the boat load of calls I make, in addition to the normal texting and browsing).

If I don't like it I can return it or sell it... or give it to my gf.

 

[seanhassars]

somebody make sure to post pics when they get theirs. i'm definitely interested, but I want to see how it looks compared to the stock battery cover

 

[drPheta]

It's not pretty. Scroll down midway, and you'll see someone posted images on their Flickr account.

HTC Touch Pro 2 battery same and works!

Ok here is the deal and I am not sure why this wasn't public knowledge but the HTC Touch Pro 2 battery works with the Incredible it is a 1500 and it should go on sale soon... I work Tech support and and tested this in mine and am running it in mine... One of the Guys from HTC let me in on this.. Oh no need for extended back cover and the rest.... Me thinks its just another way to sale accessories

Hope this helps everyone.

This has been known for quite a long time. Seidio makes one that is 1750 and fits behind the stock battery door.

Back on topic.... That 2150mAh is extremely hideous and i will NOT be buying one.

 

[jdmba]

Well ...

My 2150mah has arrived and it does have a pushed out center similar to the blurry pictures as posted on other sites. I suspect that I will use it until HTC comes out with a bug fix.

NOW FOR THOSE ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN A FIX research has shown that HTC outlined a procedure which I have used and it definitely has amazing results:

1) Charge with power on (no need to be on the desk clock)
2) When it goes green power off
3) Unplug and replug
4) It will stay red/orange for a while (indicating the rest of the charge)

You may still experience a drop off early on, but the battery holds the charge much longer.

I did this last night, and I've been using the phone pretty heavily this morning like any other morning, and it dropped the first 10% a little slower, but its still at 87% battery, when by this time yesterday it was already on like low 70s high 60s!!!!

 

[jdmba]

yes

Yes ... that IS the solution to the battery issue, but I don't know how to get a sticky on the topic.

On topic, I did the HTC trick to my 2150mah and in the 2 hours since I unplugged it I have taken 2 pictures, 1 of which was emailed, and I have checked the phone a few times. I am still at 100%. I suspect this has more to do with the phone not calibrating to the new battery as 2 hours of standby (+ pictures, email, etc) does NOT equal 0% usage.

[UPDATE] ... at 3 hours and 20 minutes uptime ... I have 96% battery remaining.

[UPDATE 2] ... at 5 hours and 21 minutes uptime ... I have 86% battery remaining. Current use = 44% cell standby; 43% phone idle; 5% android system; 4% camera; 2% display; 2% android.process.acor [=phone call].

[UPDATE 3] ... let an iPhone loyalist play with the phone for a little while ... at 10 hours 54 minutes I have 73% of the battery remaining. Current use = 40% standby; 38% idle; 8% maps; 8% android system; 3% camera, 3% display.

I may elect not to charge it tonight and see how it keeps going.

Thanks to the OP for the heads-up. I know that the batteries are ugly as sin (though drPheta's dremel work made it look presentable), but I am much more concerned with functionality. The first Verizon rep I called claimed that the batteries were not in stock yet, but the second one took care of me.
