Best battery for its size?

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.

I think its definitely worth it. I will be passing my 3500 on to my wife or sell it to my buddy. I have been up over 14 hours now and I still have plenty of battery left. Plus I keep my slim form factor

Well, ****, I'm sold. Haha. I'd LOVE to make it past 3:00 without being in the yellow.
I read some of the reviews on there and some people had problems with the case not snapping on all the way? Do you have that problem?

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.

Post the link?

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.

New EVO batterys ?

Is Sprint sending out better batterys in replacements EVO
Cause I'm getting like 14 - 16
Hours stock unrooted
I got may 8-10 with my old phone

Check the battery and see if its a 1500MaH...I think I may have heard they were, but I could be mistaken. Also your type of usage varies the battery life.

They have the same batteries which are 1500mah.
things that could be getting you better battery are
-Updates like 2.2 and 2.3 which improve performance and battery life.
-New battery, yes batteries get worn after a number of charging cycles.
-bad battery with your old phone.
-your old battery wasn't properly calibrated.
I'm rocking the sprint 2600mah battery they sell at the store, end up at 40% by the end of the day.(got it free) unplug at 5:30 am and plugs back in at 10pm every day.
That is with 10-15 phone calls, maybe 30mins-1hr browsing the web, 15-20 text messages and two hours of pandora along with 30mins of gaming( slice it and pew pew). With the stock battery I always ended up needing juice by 12pm. (On 3g, MAX brightness and 2 email accounts checking every 30minutes I think)

What's the bigger battery that you can have with a stock back cover?

They do make batteries claimed to be 1900 mAh that fit in the Evo. In fact they're exactly the same size. Since a battery's capacity is linked pretty directly to its size, the general consensus is that the battery's ratings are being inflated. But having said that, a new battery will perform better than an old one (making it hard to compare if you're replacing an older OEM one), and they may even be somewhat better than a comparable stock battery. It just isn't likely to give you the expected percentage difference between a 1500 and a 1900 mAh battery.

I got them from here. It was a little bit thicker than the 1500mah but the back still snaps on fine. Noticed a bit more life but nothing to blow ya over.

Battery Life 3500mah

Anyone try those 3500mah batteries off eBay? What kind of added lifetime does one get from those? Fraud issues?

I bought this one
http://gorillagadgets.com/samsung-epic-4g-extended-battery-3500mah-with-back-plate.html
and it has worked really well for me. no worries about a bad product or fraud from these guys. For $27 (I bought it for 24.99 but it didn't come with the fancy gorilla graphic on the battery)

How much extra time did this buy you, double? Thanks.

Got me about 50% more...not double.

The 3500mah batteries are all really 2400mah batteries. There is a huge thread in accessories on them that I started.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

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.

1800 mAh battery?

I heard that you can put the Epic Touch battery (1800 mAh) into our regular Epic 4G phone...anyone have experience with it?
The stock Epic 4G battery is 1500 mAh, so theoretically the 1800 mAh battery of the Epic Touch should provide a little more battery life.

You should check out the accesories section they have reviews in there, and to answer your question, yes. It fits, although its a hair smaller.

Haha I hear that all the time

Got one from Amazon for $17. It feels the same fit to me and you get about 20% more life. Make sure to get an OEM, there are imitations out there.

I have an epic touch and an epic 4g. Et4g bat will drop right it. It is an upgrade over stock.

Using the et4g batts in two epics, gets about 20% more life per charge...was worth the upgrade for us.

Some of the best $ I've spent on Amazon. The 1800mAh battery and cm9 are a perfect combo.

I have the battery. For first few weeks battery life was much improved. Lately its been dwindling. Not sure what I did but I'm just runing clean gb kennys blue theme and that's it.

I 100% recommend the OEM 1800 mAH battery for those who do not want to slap on one of those extended backplates.
I live in a bad service area and almost never go through a day with ~ 3 hrs screen time.
I now have 2 1800 batteries and the external charger and I'll never have to worry about battery life again.

Evo 4G LTE Battery Replacement

Hello, I was wondering if someone knows more about this than I do (I know nothing so wouldn't be hard) but as we have seen, the 4G LTE has an embedded 2000 mah battery. My current Evo 4G has the joy of the 3500mah extended battery. I was wondering the possibility of an extended battery for the 4G LTE. Right now I'm between the Nexus or the LTE and I'm not sure the awesome features make up for the lack of ginormous battery. Any ideas?

It's unibody aluminum no extended battery possibility here

Who knows maybe Sprint drops evo4gLTE with an extended battery like the razr maxx

Maybe if you disassemble the phone, then it could be removed and a bigger one added, that is if they would make batteries in the same size and all, always a possibility.

What about a company like S**do,
Making a complete oversized replacement case to accomodate a larger battery?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA

kinda what I'm hoping for random lol. if anyone can do it, it would be seidio and I would be most happy. 2000 might be nice but it doesnt beat 3500...

I would imagine....
I would hope that among the new accessories would be a recharging station device like the Palm Pre had. I know that Powermat is out there. Perhaps something else is in the works. I wish the Beats Audio headphones would come with the phone though.

Our Magic 8 Ball doesn't work any better than your Magic 8 Ball.

My magic 8 ball is working just fine.

from what iv read its a 2650mah, not 2000mah. With a non removable battery i think we will see an explosion of cases that have a built in battery like there are for the iphone. I have one for my OG evo. Its made by xpal and its called a powerskin. I got it at bestbuy.com for $59. it has a built in 1500 mah battery. along with my $1750 internal, that gives me 3250 mah and is plenty good enough for me to last 20 hours or so of moderate use.

Didn't they remove the 5 pin connector from the new Evo?

Not being able to swap batteries is a deal breaker for me. I will not be getting one myself.

The newer processor uses a lot less juice, and the battery is bigger then the original to begin with.
You don't need a bigger battery, It's already going to outlast the OG evo by a longshot. Not saying it wouldnt still be nice to be swappable. But as far as battery life is concerned, its a non issue.

Some of us go thru the battery on the EVo pretty fast. The longest I ever been able to go is about 7-8 hours of hard use. I have been in places that only thing that kept me going for another 6-7 hours was the extra battery. I can;t see this 2000ma battery lasting much more that the one I have now.

HTC's website lists it at 2000.

That's what I read too. Anyway, 260 is not twice what I have now with 2 batteries and I just about run thru both on some occasions. I would think faster processor will use more juice.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/04/htc-evo-4g-lte-preview-video/
check at about 4:10 it will tell you the battery size
excerpt: Speaking of correcting glaring flaws, the company assured us that, unlike past models (ahem, Thunderbolt), this guy should have ample runtime, courtesy of a 2,000mAh battery -- a sizable improvement over the One X's 1,800mAh juicepack

Yea I saw they changed it a little bit ago when I found the HTC page was working with more than a pic up now earlier this am it was just a photo with no specs, not worth upgrading to for me the only big difference between it and my et4g is the lte and my area won't see it til probably next year so no point in wasting the upgrade on a device that's not a drastic change HTC fumbled again IMO just like with the 3d and the design, only this time they just brought similar specs 9 months late idk what the hell they've been doing but they are falling way behind the curve these days, they burst out of the gate with the OG evo then fell flat on their face like they forgot to tie their shoes before the race
