Extended Battery

Ok,
I love my PPC-6700, but after spending 4 hours in the ER with my GF tonight, I realized the battery life sucks. Has anyone bought an extended battery for a PPC-6700 on eBay? If you suggest somewhere else, where? I don't like going through 60% of my battery in 4 hours.........

In most cases it is not worth the "upgrade(s)." Not only do you have to buy the extended battery, but also the extended battery door and most likely a new holster/case to carry it. After all that, you're only getting an increased capacity of approximately 25%.

I have a case

You can't get one thru sprint since the thing is ALWAYS on backorder. and with the phone going end of life it really isn't worth it. If you do end up with a ext battery I have an extra case I am willing to send. just hit me up with a pm. =D

I have the seidio 3200 and I highly recommend it. Now the question is with the Device coming to EOS, are you planning on still keeping it a while or switching up to the latest and greatest? b/c if so, don't buy it, but if you are keeping it, yes definitly it is one of the best things youll buy. they also carry a case just for the difference in the thickness. little harder to get used to the thickness but oh so worth it. i go 3 or 4 days without charging, and thats with streaming, email, messaging and some pretty decent length calls.

Chris.

P.S the Seidio 3200 comes with the back battery door.

I'm just gonna get the Seido one that is about 15% larger and still fits into the stock battery back. I don't want this thing any more bulky. Then I will carry my stock battery as a spare in case the other goes out. No worries there.

I just got 2 more oems ($9/ea off ebay) and I bring one with me. Never been a problem, 99/100 days I don't even use it, I just rotate the battery in the phone every few weeks to spread the charge/discharge cycles.

i use an extended battery from ebay and couldnt be happier. of course the price is cheap, but the thing lasts all day, and of course with the EOL on the phone, this will work til the pretty little 6800 hits the shelves.
