VZ Touch Pro extended battery

LittleBreezes · #1 (**permalink**) 02-24-2009, 09:34 AM

Hi all, I have a Verizon Touch Pro (6850), I know this a long shot but I thought I would give it a try. Does anyone know of a source for extended batteries for this device and a back cover big enough to fit the exteneded battery if necessary?
thanks
Frank

Call VZW and ask for PDA Support. I know a few people have purchased the extended battery with a new cover through them.

HTC hasnt made an extended battery for the Touch Pro so you would get one at your own risk Last time I called HTC was February 23, 2009. They have not made one for the phone and the Diamond either

I called Verizon and the extended battery plus back cover comes to around $50 and change. Probably the same one you can buy from that previous link.

Hi call Verizon tech support and ask for the PPC support people and ask to purchase the extended battery. I am going to assume it is approved by Verizon since they sell it. It can with a new back cover that has a small hump in it but still fits in my holster style case.
