I always carry my phone in my front pockets. I never use my back pockets. There is no noticeable difference in weight. Then again I'm not some fat ass computer nerd who can't lift a cpu tower either.


No its not easier for me to carry 2 batteries around and recharge multiple batteries. That to me is a huge PITA.

My stock battery would last thru the day just fine but I would also have it hooked up to my car to charge it while I was on the road, and I'm on the road an average of 2 hours a day every day, so it got a good charge during the day. This battery hasn't seen a charger since 6am.

With this battery I have 0 worries that it will last thru the day without a sweat.

This is on a 100% stock evo 4g untouched not rooted. It does have advanced task killer and thats it.

Well you can't say 1500mah battery is not enough since we all use our phones differently. Its obviously not enough for you but for me the stock battery works just fine and I am not rooted either. I am never gone that long to where I may need an extended battery.
Now I do fly quite often and I actually have a small energizer xp8000 usb charger thats very useful when I am on the plane but other than that I never have to use it on a regular day of business or pleasure.

ughhh I didn't want my thread merged into this.


Well the battery ended up lasting a full 24 hours almost exactly before it died. Remember this is with heavy use 90% of that time. Today I will be trying it with next to no use and see how many days it stays on.

Look at your battery closely. Is it a LiPo or LiOn? I ordered and what arrived was a LiOn though they advertize it as Lithium Polymer. I called them this morning and told them that their sale was FRAUDULENT and they agreed to refund me they entire purchase, including shipping in both directions.

- Made from the highest quality Japanese Lithium Polymer cells
- Comes with a black replacement door featuring Seidio's signature soft touch coating
- Adds only 3-4mm to your device


I later called Seidio and they said that they had initially sold a LiOn 3500 mAh battery but switched to a LiPo. It would seem that MobileCityOnline bought a batch of Seidio's LiOns, either wittingly or unwittingly, and has been selling them for Lithium Polymer.

I have the 3500mAh 3.7V Lithium "Li-ion" battery too. Product No.: BASI35HTP2


Whats the difference between the Li-on and the Li-Po?

Well, well, well.... a great first 6 days with my new Evo have I had. Don't get me wrong I love my phone but I got a lemon, a real lemon. I brought my phone on Sunday after a Evo egg hunt from Radioshack. All was good with it till the other day when I noticed my camera lens was cracked so I called The Shack and they said they would have me a new one by Friday or Saturday. Well that is great but now an added problem has started today, my mic is blown when I make a call the other person hears crackling and nothing else. So I will be walking around with a bluetooth headset on till monday or tuesday oh yeah for got to mention that The Shack sent my phone to the wrong store so they are not gonna get it this weekend. So I called up tech support and he said yeah your mic is blown I will put a note in your account for you to go to the repair shop and blah blah blah. So I went back and he was like yeah mic broken defective phone. So I guess I will be waiting. The only thing I can account to this is I plugged in a non manufacture car charger but it charged the phone so idk. Anyone else with this problem?

No, but if I did I think I would probably cry a little. Sorry you're getting screwed.
