Boo steelers!!!!!! Although, since the Colts choked away the game, they are my pick to win it all.

I just got a replacement battery from my local sprint store and noticed that the part # on new battery is different from the old one. I wonder if they changed something about the battery? So far it's doing way better than the old one, but I've only had it for a week.

If this is the case, then my theroy about bad batteries OR not fully compatible batteries might just be true.

Can you give us the number on your battery? That might help things along with getting replacements.

Sure...

old battery: DC0809209C5
S/N 100A189L008869
P/N 35H00111-12M

New battery: DC0809199C5
S/N 179A189K010438
P/N 35H00111-18M

I should also add that the old battery was doing pretty well, with tweaks and hacks found on this site, up until a couple weeks ago. There are a couple things that I was thinking killed my battery life. 1 - I ran the old battery way way down (thanks to Kinoma and Monty Python), the meter was reading like 2%, shut down and didn't even have enough power to reboot until I plugged it in for a couple minutes. 2 - Installed and uninstalled sensorlock. 3- installed htchome2.cab and even after uninstall it kept vibrating on hard key press (someone on here came up with a fix for that, but maybe some other registry changes were still there?).

When the old battery was doing well, I was going from 6am till 7pm and still had 60% battery with mild use (5-10 text messages, 20 minutes phone use, checking email 4-5 times, and internet maybe 10 minutes). When the old battery was doing poorly, it would be down to 40% after 4 hours off the charger with little or no use. The new battery, even though it's only been a week or so, is working like the old one when it was working well.
