Me and my wife both have EVO's and for some reason hers doesn't hold a charge very good. Is there somewhere you recommend to buy another battery? Id like to have a charger that hooks into my cigarette lighter that'll charge a battery itself.
Check Amazon under EVO Battery.
EVO battery life sucks. You have a choice - slim sexy phone with lousy battery life or big fat phone with good battery life. Your wife's phone may drain faster simply because she uses her phone differently yours. Things like Facebook are known to drain battery very quickly, etc.
Either buy extra batteries or an external battery recharger - anyway, Amazon has them all.
On the battery charger for the car, make sure you get one rated at at least 800 ma. Many car chargers only charge at 500 ma and if you are running navigation or stream audio in the car, your battery will drain faster than it is charging so it will eventually go dead even though it is plugged in. The EVO NEVER runs directly off plugged in power. It always runs off the battery - so even when it is plugged in, it is running off the battery so you have to charge faster than you use.
Battery is fine if you tinker a little bit. But I got 2 batteries +wall charger + free shipping = 10.00 $ from ebay
I'm on Facebook twitter all day with my phone +email txt, talk and I get a full day from each charge
from my phone duh
I disagree with the comment above (mitchellvii), the Evo with the extended battery isn't that fat. Due to a large screen it evens it out. You can still use (with the extended battery) a spring holster and it will fit in a craddle and you can use the kick stand. I also like that more sturdy feeling which gives it a better weight, in my opinion, while holding it.
Amazon is a good place but so is Ebay. You have more batteries to pick from at ebay. I have bought 2 3500mAh batteries from ebay and the battery life is GREAT. Can go almost 2 days without charging with normal use (constantly on facebook, internet, and yelp- normal daily use of talk and text). Price ranges from $9-$85. Most batteries are shipped from Hong Kong so can take up to 3 weeks to ship to the U.S. And buy, if you can, using paypal for a little insurance in case the battery is defect.
You have options: If you want to stay with a slim phone- ebay has some batteries with higher charge capacity than the OEM without needing to buy a backcover- keeping it slim (1800mAh-2000mAh).
You may also look into software as well. Keeping your wifi or bluetooth on will drain your battery faster. Here are some great tips from goodandevo... http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/05/20-tips-to-improve-htc-evo-4g-battery-life.html
Hope it helped.
Try www.spider-foot.com. I got a couple for the Epic and they are great. I'm waiting for the EVO batteries to come which I ordered on 18 Nov. Also free shipping.
Ebay is the way to go. I have 8 batteries, including two 3000mah and two 1800mah along with two wall chargers and I paid less than $60 for all of them combined.

Mugen battery, my review
I will have a review on this battery later down the road. Im getting one of these from free "10-15 day" shipping. Once I get the battery, and play around with it.... I'll review this battery compared to a couple roms.
Alien V4, Cyan prebeta#4, and one more if I may. APRX of normal use, and running benchmarks. I should get this battery in about 12 days or less-ish.
Let's see how awesome this battery can be!
Edit: I will have close up hi-res pictures also, since I know some people sweat over those... >
I linked to the coupon code post from Bens Bargains.
Second link is to the pack at Meritline and the quote comes from the reviews.

These will work with an iPad but don't expect them to charge one from 0 percent to 100 percent. They will add about 17 percent to the iPad charge.

I want to buy a portable battery pack for my Tegra Note 7. Has anyone purchased one that is compatible? Any feedback or tips would be appreciated. I have zero experience with battery packs, but Googling it I noticed that some tablets have compatibility issues with certain battery packs, hence my question. Thanks!

I have an RavPower14000mah battery pack that I bought off of Amazon that charged as quickly as the wall charger using the 2A socket. Just search for RavPower 14000 mah external battery as I can't post links yet.
