There is no regulation on rating your batteries! Don't waste your money. It may be a very high quality battery, and it may add an ever so slight amount of extra battery life, but it sure is expensive.
I posted this in response to another thread about this battery before I saw this one:

Looks like a scam. If the battery can fit under the stock cover, than it can't possibly be physically larger than the stock battery (unless they made it a tad bit thicker... but there is presumably a good reason why HTC's engineers didn't do that) . The extended Seidio battery and the stock battery are both lithium ion batteries, so they have the same energy density.
Battery makers love to over rate the capacity of their batteries, but the truth is two batteries using the same chemical composition of the same size, will have almost identical power capacities. Unless of course one of the batteries is very poorly made, which is not case the case with the stock TP2 battery.
To the people who are buying it: Conduct a controlled experiment with the stock battery and the new one, and I bet you won't find much of a difference. |
i bet htc could've put a 1500mAh battery in the tp, but they didn't. they could've put an led flashlight on the tp2 like they did the tp, but they didnt. haven't you realized HTC does whatever it wants? i think people are just expecting too much with these batteries. i had one for my mogul and it added a couple hours which is all u can ask for.
besides... these batteries are made in japan arent they? i bet HTC's are made some place where they could save the most money
