So let's say that you phone uses 500 mA(Milliamp), not to say it does, but just as an example.

so 1500 mAh divided by 500 mA = 3 hours
and 2200 mAh divided by 500 mA = 4.4 hours

Bigger the number longer lasting power.

That 2200 mAh battery makes you replace the cover to fit it, so your phone is fater.

I do not think this 2200 mah battery works for Sprint Touch as it comes with a different door. This door only works with GSM TOuch.

Seidio plans to release a super extended battery just for Sprint Touch. It requires a new door. This door will work with Sprint Touch.

I used to work for a laptop manufacturer back in the late 90's and we kept talking about how new technologies were going to allow us to make the casing the actual battery of the device...As far as I'm aware, that still haven't come true for anything in the consumer segment.

It would be awesome if some day companies like Seidio could make a molded door that was "all" battery and give us 3000+ mAh. I'd think that instead of some monsterous door hanging off the back they could use the current batteries space and add only a milimeter or so of thickness to give us one heck of charge.

I purchased this battery and so far so good.

Ordering was quick... shipping was quick... and it fits perfectly in the stock OEM back cover. It is a little snug but once closed, all is well.

I have my phone set to active sync all the time for instant email notifications, so I use up more battery capacity than some.

As a heavy nationwide traveler, I bought the latest AC/DC power adapter for traveling. This way I still have one power adpater and I can keep my phone topped off while in the rental car... but the extra capacity is just extra capacity I like kowing I have.

The first day or two I noticed that the battery meter did not fall as quickly, so this battery (1500 mAh) really does have more capacity.

Enjoy... I am...

Well, I've had mine for quite a while and I still consistently get 24-28 hours' worth of use out of it, depending on what I do with it. Of course, this is with the battery hacks mentioned earlier (but then, who WOULDN'T want battery power management enabled?).

It's a good battery. Get yourself one. You won't be disappointed. The stock battery door is a little tough to put back on but it DOES go on. Now the phone has a nice solid feel to it.

Well....

Guess I will be calling them tomorrow and asking for a an RMA number and get a refund. Good thing it is on my American Express Card... as they don't mess around with deceptive marketing practices... and neither do I.

Dam... I was duped!!!!!

Why not actually test how long the battery last?

This today plugin lets you know how long your PPC has been on.

If what you said is true, then read the feedback of post # 26 in this thread. Mtnmedic will not see any imporvement over the stock battery at all in using Seidio's battery. But thta is not the case. Below is Post # 26 by mtnmedic

Thank you Seidio-Seidio,

As the "company in question", do you stand by your products and sales you have made? Will you issue a refund if within the warrenty period, even though some are starting to wonder if your representation of this battery isn't just slick marketing... which is illegal due to the "testing" that appears to have been done?

Besides just stating that it is a "good battery", what evidance from 3rd party testing you do you have to offer to be fair?

Via the Seidio website, I filled out the RMA section and requested an RMA return/refund since I just bought by battery 2 weeks ago.

Getting into a "pissing match" here on the boards will not serve either of us... what I want to read in "black and white" is will you offer a refund if a customer so desires?

Thanks,

Boy, Seidio sure got quiet here on the boards.

He/they post at 7.45am this AM, then never post again... even when asked for a direct reply?

Sent in my RMA request Thursday evening, and never got an email or telephone reply all day Friday???

No matter what the reason, if their going to use these forum boards as a way to generate business and answer questions, then they better be willing to act and represent themselves accordingly and take the good with the bad and live up to their marketing as stated on their website.

Nothing worse then not standing behind one's product... the court of public opinion can be just as damaging as the court of defrauding one's customers and getting sued... even if for $50.00... it's the point of it all.
