Review of 4500 mAh extended battery for TP2

or you can just get some extra batteries, regular size ones I mean.
I dont want a brick in my pocket, an extra battery is very slim and can fit in a shirt pocket.
highly reccomended!
ask around at the sprint/verizon store, maybe they have some extras

i want to see how big it looks with the casing on and everything. can you take a pic of that lol

[creedo]

I was trying to figure out a way to use the camera to take a pic of itself with mirrors lol. But then I just got lazy and googled and found this:



I guess I just use the crap out of mine. I'm a noob and just have the stock rom, maybe I'll try mighty rom. If the difference is that big, maybe instead of 13 hours I get 20.

Again this may not be the solution if you already have access to recharge spots, or don't mind carrying spare batteries. It's 100 bucks and all the cool kids make fun of you for your bulky 1980's phone.

I personally would rather carry one heavy thing (phone with extended battery) than two light things (less bulky phone with spare battery in shirt pocket) but if I had to do it again, I would probably buy that 2000 mah andida and just keep it in the car. $10 > $100. Hell, I'd buy two.

I just bought that verizon htc extended battery for 29 bucks.. I cant wait. I have the seidio 3500 mAh battery from my hero.. I want to see if it will fit with the htc battery cover installed.. Seidio will sell me the extended door for 14 bucks. but they are out atm. and dont feel like wait 3 weeks.lol but not dieing for extra juice.. i get great batt life. plus being in front of my computer all day at work.. im right by a charger anyway..lol

15 hours is extremely low for 4500mAh. My friends Evo's 3500mAh last almost 30-45 hours, and that phone is known for drinking juice.

wow i think i should just carry a generator out instead lol

also to the guy that can go day and a half without charging with heavy use on mighty ROM - damn dude-grats , u r the only one. I used Mighty and while its a great ROM didnt get much better batt performance. Try using HTC youtube app for 3 hours straight-do you still get a day and a half?

I'm also skeptical about people claiming 20-30 hours. That's wishful thinking, or they feel heavy use = texting all day.

Mightyrom has improved my battery life, for sure, but I also overclocked the phone. On the whole though I'm happy, SOMEthing had to be done. The stock battery is useless.

I used to have to worry about charging. I'd get in the car ... "better take advantage of this charging opportunity". I'd be at work and have to find an open socket while I worked, keeping the phone in the next room instead of right next to me. The last time I was on a plane, before the flight all the AC sockets at the terminal were taken by other passengers except one that was broken, it wouldn't hold the plug in. You had to manually hold it there. Guess what I did for 15 minutes before my flight? And I ran out of juice anyway before we landed.

Now, I now no longer think about charging. I plug in when I go to bed. I do whatever I want with the phone all day. I plug in when I go to bed. Repeat.

Ouch $100 - Just Ouch its an interesting idea but not sure if its worth the $100 gamble.

[creedo]

Yeah, for 100 bucks I coulda bought 10 of those andida batteries
I'm just wondering out loud but there may be one small extra benefit to this beast of a battery. I've read that some overclock speeds take up so much juice that you must be plugged into AC to use them. Would a big battery help with this I wonder? Or can the phone only suck so much energy from a battery, no matter how big?
