Extended Battery - Page 2

**slypher** · #11 (**permalink**) 02-13-2007, 08:51 AM

I went with the cheapie $17 extended battery from Ebay. OMG what a difference. You may hear that you don't get much more battery life...but with this battery i can talk for at least an hour (sometimes more) during the day, have my direct push running on the "as items arrive" setting and still have 90% of battery after my 9.5 hour shift. Definitely a worth while investment for only $17.

The only thing that really sux is that the battery is humongous, gotta take the good with the bad i guess (unless you cough up more money for an OEM sized higher capacity battery)

Just my two cents.

Good luck on whichever battery you decide on!

Hi,

I am from Venezuela and have the cellphone service in Movistar.

The standard battery life was only 12 hours!!!!!!!!! I bought last december the Seido 3200mAh and the case for extended battery and it works very fine :P .

The new battery life is around 36 or 48 hours, that depend of the use.

By the way sorry for my english..... I speak spanish in Venezuela ...

Regards

i used the oem reg batt for a while and the batt life was pissing me off.. i also cheaped out and went on ebay.. bought another oem and an extended batt.. i couldn't ask for nothing more.. even just using the 2 regular batts and switching them around when one dies i found was more then enough for the day.. for 5 bucks i got a home charger, car charger and regular batt.. with those chargers and additional batts i can't say i have had battery issues since..

End of Life doesnt mean the end of the 6700as we know it. I got mine for $200 brand new and since the alledged 6800 isnt even on the shelves yet, buying an extended battery at this time is worth the investment.

I definitely plan on buying one; probably as soon as I click submit to this post!

Has anyone tried the LionBatteryhttp://lionbattery.com/description.php?noproduit=321
I'm thinking of getting that one, and EBCase has an extended case

http://www.ebcases.com/-strse-3372/S...EXP/Detail.bok
Always had an extended with the 6600, and definitely would like more power.

As an update, I ordered the Lion and the EB Case.
Will let you know how it goes as soon as in.
I have the Krusell case from PCS-Ltd.com, and really like it.
On my old PPC660, I had the Lion and a few cases, and it fit in all of them, tightly, but they worked.
I really loved the EB Case for that phone, great clip. Hated the Piel Frama only because the clip was a real piece of crap.
With the Krussell, I ordered the slide on belt clip, and you can do cartwheels without the phone coming off of that.
Talked with Lion and EB before ordering and the battery from Lion only extends .037 inches further, so that doesn't seem too bad.

If you can send it back, you might want to get the 3200mah one here: http://www.seidioonline.com/index.as...ROD&ProdID=445

I love it so far.

I bought one from my local battery center. Battery cost $21.74 including the extended battery cover. It says it's a 1400 mAH LIOn, but it's probably a 3200. I can get almost 2.5 days of time out of it doing push synching with my exchange server.

It's an awesome battery. I don't use it anymore since I broke the darn battery cover. Gotta find a new one, just haven't had time.

It was the best price I found from a reputable place that wasn't ebay.

After reading all the customer service problems with Seidio on this forum and others, I decided to shy away from them. I've never had a problem with CS from Lion. 2 extended's for the 6600, and when one of the originals had a problem, they were quick to respond.
That's why I went with them.
Gotta tell ya, loved the EB Case with my 6600, and am really liking it with the 6700.
