Battery Drain(Seidio "Extended Battery"

[Existentialism]

Does anyone else have the Seidio "Extended Battery"? The one that claim 10% more battery life? It was working fine at first, but now I'm finding that my phone battery drains VERY quickly and takes FOREVER to charge. I added a GPS device recently, but I rarely use it. Does adding Bluetooth devices, even if they are not in use, drain battery? Or does anyone know if the seidio battery is just crap?

I have the Seidio extended battery for about a month now,use it everyday,no issues.It took 4 1/2 hours to charge from 0-100%.

Did you disable bluetooth when it's not in use? It still drains quite a bit just being on.

[2kmy477]

No,my BT was always on.

No problem here with the Seidio battery - not a huge difference, but noticeable and consistent.

Perhaps you got a bad one. Do you have same problem with std. battery?

I have no issues either with mine... it is clearly better than the stock battery if you ask me. But no issues either way.

i did this with one of my old batteries, keep the batt in a cold area for like 10 min, after that get the slowest charger hat you have and charge the batt. i did that with my 6700 and it worked fine after that, also i always use a slow charger (even slower than usb) when i sleep, my btt lasts lik 4hrs being on the net, and if i were to constatly stream music about 2.5 hrs to 3 hrs

Well, it seems to have gone away. Maybe it just needed to be broken in?

I've had it for at least 6 months, no problems...

maybe it will take a few charge cycles to break in. I used to have a 3200mah seido battery in my treo and after about 4 full charges the thing would last almost 12 hours on a charge.
