Using the Seidio one today the same way, after 8 hours it was 10%.

Obviously the eBay battery is slightly more powerful than the Seidio one, but certainly not 900 maH worth -- and IMHO -- not worth it's huge size.

Now, I know that both of those are not very good battery life for my phone, but the way I have it set up (push email, power never turns off unless I turn it off which is rarely, backlight doesn't dim until 5 minutes, etc.) I don't expect great battery life.
The 2400mAh was that the cheap $11.99 battery ?
only 1500mAh Seido last 10% of use, that says its way better than that 2400mAh battery you bought.
