I see some on ebay, but they are for htc diamond, not specifying CDMA. i got one anyway.

I can't find any CDMA extended ones. Any one know where to find?

I don't want to buy an $80 one.

You shouldn't have posted this here but yeah I think the $80 one is your only choice bro unless maybe try posting on the bargin section and see if someone will offer you theres cheaper if they no longer use it.

Moved to the HTC Diamond forum.

I haven't found an extended one, but I bought this standard 1340mah battery on ebay and it came with a charger stand that can charge both the phone and the spare battery at the same time! It works great and being able to charge the battery when it's not in the phone solves most of my problems.

For $24.99 +$1.65 shipping total, the deal was a steal. I was nervous after reading some posts here, but I have had no problems at all. It performs as well as my original battery and the charger rocks. All battery monitors and status work perfectly. The charger does seem to charge at lower currents (more like PC usb charger) and therefore slower than most of my other ac chargers, but from what I've read, that's probably better for the battery anyhow than pumpling them up fast!

I bought this 1340 OEM battery, desktop charger, power plug, and stylus for $26 complete. Seller has excellent feedback and he has more of these. The battery is 100% IDENTICAL (HTC Innovation) to the one my sprint diamond came with.

I emailed that seller to see whether his battery would fit a sprint diamond. His English is not so great, but I think he means to say that the one you bid on will not fit the DIAM500, although he does have one that will fit and it comes with a maroon cover. His message is cut & paste below for you to see:
