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.

The only thing I would guess is that the replacement door would block access to the PTT button. I don't think it would depress it so functionality wise it should be fine.

What replacement door? The 2000mAh battery is supposed to be the same size as the stock one.

Honestly i dont know whether it will or not since i have sprint TP2 and not ATT Tilt2. But 90% sure the batteries are the same

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.

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?
