I just finish my battery test from above.

HTC Battery: 199 mins
OEM Battery: 150 mins

Both batteries are rather new and been thru a few deep recharge.

I dont think I got a 1000 mAH battery right? Perhaps a 1500 mAH OEM battery?

Batteries are cheap. I dont think seller would want to con/dup you for a few dollars. I cant justify buying a HTC battery for $20 or $30 ??? That is crazy!

I don't know enough to guess at your mAh on the OEM battery. I did a sitcker pull on mine and saw it said 1000 mAh. When I told the seller through negative feedback, they immediately issued a full refund ($7.95) on my account and apologized. Then they asked me to take back the negative feedback so it doesn't stick on their record and they can sell more.

My OEM batteries lasted between 1/3 - 2/3 of the battery that came with my phone. The one that came with my phone lasts about 6-8 hours with moderate data use, some GPS, a couple phone calls, and lots of texting.

I thought people who claimed they were getting over 24 hours on their phones weren't using it or they were lying. Even when tweaking many things to reduce battery consumption I couldn't get much past 12 hours.

I average around 3 bars at home although the phone doesn't always lock on.

I got an airave - and as long as I'm using the airave I get about 32 hours with a good amount of use on my phone. Funny thing is, I notice it still doesn't always lock on to the airave even when near it but now instead of going from 3 bars to 0 bars it goes from full bars to 3 (when roaming from the airrave to the normal tower).

All in all, the battery life on this thing sucks coming from the TP2 and Evo, Luckily I have 3 OEM batteries from China.

Yes it does suck. I even got an app install to kill it when I turn off the screen.

If I am outside, I even turn off my 4G. I never turn off wifi or BT unless i am using it.

I dont mind changing the battery. The cover at the back needs a finger nail to open it.

I've installed all the stuff they say on xda which is Juice Defender and SystemPanel (paid version). So far it has been better, but now I have to test it out on the OEM batteries. Taking off the back is a struggle at times, I feel like I am going to break it...LOL

I feel the same way. Hopefully the plastic is strong enough to last. I also installed juice defender and it definitely helps. Haven't tried system panel though. Will give it a shot and see if I can get even better battery life.

I see that the OEM battery does not come close to the original battery. Juice Defender does make a big difference and all SystemPanel does is let me know what is running and taking power from the phone. You may not need to buy it. I just wanted to see if there was an app that went rogue and was draining the battery, but I found out that there was not anything special going on so it felt like a waste of money.
