[REVIEW] Anker 1900 mAh extended battery

[JWhipple]

Just ordered one of these - figured, "What the hell, it's only $10 !"

From here on Ebay:

Will report back with the results...

Awesome. I saw that but was too skeptical to give it a shot. I'm glad someone did. I've tried other batteries that are the same size as stock, that claim to be larger capacity and they never seem to be the real deal.

Even if I get just the same amount of juice that the stock battery gives me , it's only $10... Plus it's not coming from China.

After seeing it was only 10 bucks I myself purchased one as well. I should receive it by Wednesday so like others on the thread, I'll check back after then.

No no no, I think you misunderstood me - It's not being SHIPPED from China to me - it's coming from a seller in the US

The more I think about it, I think i would rather carry around a charger than remove this battery cover...

Ditto. However, having a spare battery does come in handy in certain situations.

For those who travel a lot like me, it's very handy to have a spare oppose to an external charger. It's much easier to just pop a fresh battery in and not have to find a charger to stand next to a wall outlet to make calls...

I do admit though, the HTC cover is pretty funky...it's a first...very odd...

And it's got active connections, so i think it's not the best idea to remove it often.

I travel a lot too so ill need a spare battery. It just worries me. I have three for my hd2 that I was using, but popping the battery cover off on the hd2 is simple. I feel like doing so on the sensation will eventually wear it out. Or ill break something. Total pain in the ass.

Wonder if those connections are just for the antenna? What a funky design.

Those connections are for wifi antenna (top), and network antenna (bottom).

Let us know how it goes, my battery is going real fast need to see if this is my solution, i do have a Dice Media Bridge in my car and it doubles up as a charger as well

 

[misterjimmy]

I just picked one of these up myself. I should expect it by Tuesday since the seller is local. I'll keep everyone updated as well but so far the stock battery hasn't done well compare to my N1 since i've switched to this phone.
