On Monday, if I do not hear anything from Seidio (Christmas Eve or not), I will be calling my credit card company to dispute the charges and ask for a refund.

I just hope Seidio does the right and legal thing and honor their warrenty and refund my full purchase price as advertised.

I'm testing mine right now. What a load of bs.

I've had the Seidio extended battery since Wednesday, Dec.19th. I've recharged it nightly. I use my phone constantly throughout the day checking emails, surfing the web, listening to XM radio, watching TV or videos with ORB across the net and playing games. The stock battery would be at 20-30% by 7:30pm. The extended 1500 mAh battery is still between 60-70% same time. Say what you want about numbers...all I know is the battery is ACTUALLY lasting longer than the stock. For me, this is a good thing! BTW-I had the 3200 mAh battery for my 6700 from Seidio and it also worked great. However, the isolated earphones suck, the rubberized case for the 6700 with extended battery could not be used with the Sidieo car holder (extended battery version) and the swivel holsters broke (2 different versions for 6700) after about 1 month of use. (Just thought I would balance my claims)

Does anybody think that there may be a chance that the chips that regulate the charge/discharge of the battery are not allowing a full charge? I just got mine and I may return it as well. I don't make that much money so it hurts my pockets even more to know that may not have much to show or justify the $50 like I originally thought! This is some Bull***t! I will be running the Power Meter myself while streaming ShoutCast, Bluetooth On, and Backlight fully lit and constantly on to see what I get. Ive already done the 6 full discharges.

Man! Why do good companies always go bad? I just sent them an RMA form. They should know that word of mouth potentially has the power to make or break a company.

Great post and thanks for checking into this issue.

Some might say that the program you are using is flawed, but if your using the same program for both batteries, it is at least a consistent (apples to apples) test of their true performance.

You might keep this "screen shot" handy, becuase some may want to use it in a lawsuit (class action maybe) if Seidio doesn't to the right and honest thing and accept returns in a timely manner. I am sure that the FTC would be interested... becuase I am.

All they need to do is give me my money back and I'm done... and I will post that they stepped up to the plate and did the right thing. Any company can can have production issues or "bad cells" in their batteries... they just have to aknowledge it and move forward.

i got a 1350 mah battery off email for a total after shiping for like $11. i do see a difference between the two. i swap batteries daily and never know which one i have in there. every once in a while i wounder why i have so much battery life left and find out i am using the 1350 one. sure glad i got the cheapy. i had two seidio extended batteries with my treo and couldn't tell that much difference. i think seidio has been doing this for a long time. maybe not with all there batteries but i am think many of them.

good luck on getting your money back everyone.

I haven't done the mah drain on my new sedieo 1500 battery and don't really plan to. I have been using the 1500 for a few days now and When I ran with the stock on a normal day I was 30% by the end of the day. It is EOD for me now and I am at 60%. I have even been using a lot today because of Christmas shopping.

I am going to go with my unscientific test and say that I get more use in a day with the seidio 1500 battery.

Wow I was just thinking about 2 weeks ago this battery didnt last like it should...now this thread -I am emailing seidio myself for a refund. I hope they wont give me problems and they have lost a customer here.
