Whats the best brand/size battery for long life thats not that big? Or is it worth getting the huge 3500mAh one? Are there any SMALLER ones that are comparable?

I am using the HTC 2150mah and I would definitely say it's worth it.
Sent from my ADR6300
I use a potato with zinc and copper wires.
I have a 1500mah HTC battery and the 2150. I think the 2150 is worth it. The central hump on the battery cover is extended about the size of the stock battery out. I'd be lying to say it doesn't look a *little* weird at first but it's really not bad after you get used to it. The battery life is much better though so it's of course a trade off. I didn't experience much of any improvement with the 1500 battery but I didn't use it for too long.
2150mah
+1 on the 2150. I own the stock battery, the 17xxmah (I forget), and the 2150mah. I went through a period of going between the 17 and the 21. I finally settled on the 21.
It give it a little more bulk but I find that the phone is very easy to hold with the bump since the back of you thumb is on one side and palm on the other.
I popped a 3000 mah in mine and love it. Little thicker but it doesn't bother me at all.

I have the 3500, a 1500, a 2150 (which I gave my wife) and I bought 2 EVO 1800 which should be here tomorrow.
The 1500 is fairly good and worth the 10 bucks you can get it for.
The 2150 is not worth it IMO only because for not much more you can get the 3500.
The 3500 is definitely worth it if you can stand the bigger size.
I will come back and comment on the 1800's next week after I play with them a few days.

Who makes the 1800 batteries?
I got the HTC OEM 1500mah battery (used for another HTC phone but fits our Incs) on ebay from the seller bidallies. It was $14 and provides an excellent bump over the 1300mah stock Inc battery. It out performs the Seidio 1750mah battery that I handed down to my wifes Eris.
Best part about the 1500mah is that it does not change the size of your phone. I like the Inc in it's orig slim form factor. I tried the 2150 and while battery life was great I just could not get used to the thickness and added weight

Woah, for $40 you get two 1800 batteries AND that snazzy wall charger??
Also, uptime and awake time?
Is it worth it? I don't have enough on me atm to get the 2150, so that 1800 bundle looks REALLY nice.

Nope my case snaps fine, but back when I tried to put the 1500 battery in it was a tight fit.
Its the evo battery. I ran mine since day one and have loved it. No complaints and have never ran the stock battery so I dont know how that performs.

I bought the huge 3500mah one for 10 bucks on eBay, and it works great. Totally worth 10 bucks.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
IMHO the 1750 from Seidio is complete crap. The stock battery lasts longer for me. Someone had a good link showing some tests that demonstrated that the "1750" was really not that capacity.
I am definitely interested in the 1800mAh battery and would like to hear how it works out. I have to carry both batteries to make it through a day with heavy usage. I'd love to just feel comfortable starting a day with a full charge and knowing I would make it back home at night with a little reserve left in the battery.

Anyone get this?

Yes. Every penney. I have used mine for two months now. Thickness is same now as my N900, so not bad size.
I bought the cheap Chinese one for 10 bucks on eBay, liked it so much I decided to buy the seidio one for 60 bucks.

This is the battery life I got on Sprint's new Evo 2600mah extended battery with medium use. This was taken with 5% left on the battery.
Nice... i cant sacrifice the size for it though
Have you found a cover for the Evo with the extended back.
Seido makes a case but its really pricey.
yea not worth the increased size imho still nice battery life

I always keep a backup battery in my wallet, heh. I bought the 1800mAh battery from htcexpress that is said to last longer than the original, and you don't need another back.
I have the 3500 battery (for about 6 weeks now) and I don't notice the bigger back. It actually makes the phone feel better in my hand. The extra battery life is great. I don't use any kind of case or screen protector anymore. The phoneis doing just fine.

Same here, I was skeptical at first, but I like being able to actually use my phone. The extra bulk isn't bad.

1800 for sure any more and the battery manufacturer might start stretching the truth about the actual mah especially if its a china battery.
Looks like someone has got 2000mah in stock size, haven't tried it yet, anyone?

I have an 1800mah chinese battery... I'd say its about 1% better than the factory evo battery. Blah
Stop complaining about a bigger back if u havent actually felt it IN HAND. Bigger battery back feels GREAT and makes the phone more manly. As adam carolla would say "in 50 years we'll all be chicks"! (no to mention the black on white on black looks sooooo sweet on my white evo!
I switched back to my standard battery today and it was at 50% about a 1/3 through the day.
Yeah, the Sprint extended battery is great. It's a Li-Polymer.
Li-Polymer would be horrible with a device that requires much charging...

10%. Lol. I think bigger and bigger batteries will be gracing phones this year, with the not-much-bigger-than-the-vibrant motorola atrix 4g sporting a much more sizeable 1950mAH battery.
It doesn't seem that much bigger, i wonder how much it adds to the width. Also could be for the added '4g' or it could be just because they could, but I dont think battery life has been bad on the vibrant.
The 4G radio probably will use a bit more power to function, so... yeah
More importantly, will the 4G battery fit in our Vibrants?

Um... 150 mAh. Doesn't your smart phone have a calculator app on it?
The new 1650mah will fit PERFECTLY in our vibrants. It is IDENTICAL in size.
It is the Giorgio Armani battery that was released on the Giorgio Armani Galaxy S version in Italy this month. Hope they are cheap cause im getting 1 or 2 when they come out.
Also to anyone that asks: 10% increases over stock
Note though that if you have had your phone for 6 months like me now, your old battery is likely decreased from the 1500mah it was when new so the new 1650 mah may seem like more than 10% for some.
Using a i9000 3000 mAh battery that I purchased on ebay (yes shipped from china) for $7.99. Love it. Yes its bigger but I like the back it came with better than stock. Lasts forever on bionix v. Like 48-60 hours with heavy use.
Hmm if I would buy a battery I would settle to 3000 mah instead of this, though this won't make our phones big.

Lol 48-60 on moderate use u mean.
Heavy use is like watching videos and browsing ng webs constantly with half to full brightness on.

Why would anyone go less than full brightness on the amazing SAMOLED screen?! Quite crazy if you ask me! I bought it to look at the beautiful screen, not worry about battery life and I get through the whole day with light-moderate use on Nero 5.
150mAh. look @ what public schools are doing to us. I will walk you through it:
1650
-1500

Whenever you see difference, you should subtract, and when you see sum, you should add!

Was thinking about getting the Seidio Innocell 1600mAh Slim Extended Life Battery. Wanted to know if anyone thought it was worth it?
I just ordered mine last night after Froyo killed my battery life. I'll keep you updated how it works when I get it
Ok thanks, please do. Looking to get it for exact same reason.
100mah isn't worth getting another battery, IMO, unless you just want a second battery. that's such an insignificant amount of additional stored energy, I doubt you will see much improvement, unless your current battery was starting to fail.
just my 2 cents.
Just got my Seidio in the mail yesterday. It is slightly larger than the stock battery and the rear cover is a little tougher to get on. When I say tougher i mean you just have to move around the phone and snap in every section with your fingers. If you stare hard enough, you can see a slight bulge where the battery is. As far as the battery life, so far it's only been on a couple hours in the morning and does seem slightly better. It seems like it might be about 5% better than it was before. They also say that it should get a little better after 5-6 charges so we will see. I doubt I will see a huge increase, but when your battery sucks, every little bit helps
I got the seidio 3000mah battery and love it!! The back plate isn't bad at all (proportional wise) and it gives me a good 2 solid 10 hour days of heavy data/phone use without the need to charge.

For a twenty percent boost get the battery for the epic touch. Fits the OG epic just fine without changing battery cover. Might be able to sweet talk a sprint store into giving you one free if you go and complain about battery life and they happen to have one in the back from a returned ET. Battery looks the same, is slightly heavier and has 1800 mah stamped on it.

I have it and really dont notice too much diff under regular use. Mine was like $12, so it just makes for a spare that came in handy several times.
I bought a pair of the 8$ 3500's off ebay and a 4$ wall charger. Phone will do 48 hours with light use. When I get a new game I can blow through one while charging the other.
So far, after a full charge and battery wipe, my battery life on cyanogen7 is as epic as my epic. Definitely notice a difference from the 1800mah to the stock 1500mah battery.
Sent from cyandroid
I've noticed a pretty nice improvement from the 8 dollar one on ebay, I wouldn't say double either, but may 60 to 70 percent. I have been tweaking things for battery life recently, so that might be another thing that helps.
I am a pretty light user, I don't play games. On midNIGHT ROM 5.3 I went 6 days between charging. Of course that is with everything you can turn off; off.
Then I decided; why did I pay this money for this phone to use it like an old samsung a05?? (ok dated myself there).
I usually get 3-4 days texting, phone calls, weather updates, emails and poking around on the market.
randomrom rocks for excellent battery life.
