Is there anything it yet? Seidio or anything? Just looking for maybe an 1750-1800 mah battery. Thanks in advance
Nothing out there or what?

Calm down, you just posted this last night. And no, I haven't seen anything like this worth trusting.
Seidios batteries are junk anyway. Especially for what they charge.

I wasn't freaking out, just trying to bump the thread back up and see if anyone has heard anything. No need to get your panties in a bunch over it but thanks for the response just the same.
I would like to see one come out soon. The extended batteries that require a new back just look ridiculous and feel weird. I got one back when I first got my EVO and it was nice to have the battery, but it felt like a brick and odd to hold. Really in the end, I found it to be cheaper, and look better to just root and remove the bloat. Esp the sense, even though I know a lot of people like that.
If you like the sense, then get TB and freeze some of the Verizon bloat on there. I have noticed a lot better battery after that.
What happened to the days of phone batteries lasting three days, huh? haha, I guess because they can do so much now. Worth it to me.

I had the Seidio extended OEM for my Incredible and it was great for about 6 months and then was complete crap. I picked up a pair of 1800 mAmp batteries for my Incredible on ebay and went back and forth between them until the phone died and they gave me a little bit of a boost, but I'm not likely to return to a Seidio or OEM battery any time soon.
On the other hand, the 2750 really isn't that much larger, especially with the "matching" tpu case available at VZW. Fact is, my wife didn't even notice the difference with my phone sitting out there. Of course, then again, she thinks flashing a ROM is a bodily function.....
Yep. Waiting for this myself. Got an extended battery and back but, not a fan of how the phone wobbles on the table with the extended back.
Mugan's has one coming out on 2/7, but it's expensive, $45 1900mAh.
What about the 1800mah battery for the Thunderbolt, would that fit the stock battery cover since both phones use the same batteries?
I bought 2 thunderbolt batteries and a charger from htcexpress.com because they said they would work, they did the no charge gray "!" Thing, they refunded half my money cuz I wanted to keep the charger and I gave the batteries to a friend with a thunderbolt, anyway they told me they would be making.batteries for the rezound. I had seideo batteries and htcexpress batteries for my incredible and there is no.comparison the htc express batteries had more juice, lasted longer(the seideo started falling apart) and cost about half as much. I haven't checked back with htcexpress because I have a extra OEM battery but hold on I will now.
Edit: nope no resound batteries yet.
Maybe they will make a slimmer battery cover for the extended HTC battery, at least that is my hope.

How did you find this out? I checked their page but nothing shows up when I searched for rezound. I even sent them an email but haven't heard back yet.
I have a link to this battery @ home. I'll add it when I get back but it does say shipping starts on 2/7/12.
How are batteries from this company?

I've hear mixed reviews from the Eris users back in the day.
Do you think someone will make a 1500mah battery pack case, like the Thunderbolt has? It looks slim compared to the HTC extended battery, while still adding decent amount of juice.
Here is the link to Mugen. Not really anything there yet!

I have no clue bro, I just take my charger to work and plug that **** in.
Im guessing its because none of us have gotten our hands on the phone yet. I can tell you that I bought some aftermarket batteries for my 4G and they sucked pretty good and didnt last long at all. I ended up just buying an extra oem battery to carry around with me.
Hard to say. I have like 4 of these type of batteries (Made in China) for my Evo 4G, and if these are anything like those, you can expect the same battery life as the OEM battery.
I'll probably pick up a couple.
i hope the battery lasts a little bit longer than the EVO... i dont know y they cant make the batteries last atleast 6 or 7 hours lol

I buy the after market batteries and charges for my current phones, honestly they work well for me, I like the small wall charger I bought better than any other charger I have seen. And yes after I get my 3d I will buy after marker chargers and batteries for it as well.

That is exactly how I use them as well and they are just as good as the OEM and way cheaper. Great value so far and I plan to do the same with the 3D.

ha i was coming here to ask the same thing since i was looking to have a backup battery on hand
Seidio Case/Battery coming...
For my 4G, I have the 3500maH battery and the ultra rugged case from Seidio.
Here's the page for similar products for the 3D.. Hope they are available soon
My experience with their battery has not been disappointing at all. Not quite the 30 or so hours people boast about in the forums, but still at least double that of the OEM battery. I suspect that's because now that I have the big ol' battery, I am using the power hungry features of the phone more frequently than before.
The phone is a little thicker with the new battery door, but it actually feels better in my hands with that extra depth. Feels less likely to slip out and drop.
A significant caveat is the battery gauge. Unless you leave it on the charger for a couple hours after it shows 100%, it won't get to its full capacity. At least that's what seems to be happening with my phone.

I got 75-80 (don't remember exacts) on my extended battery from Sprint. That was being mildly conservative, using GPS and music while working out, a lot of texting, couple phone calls, some internet usage.... I was happy.
Just gotta see what the extended battery is going to look like for this beast. At least for the OG EVO it looked halfway decent because of its location and what not.
With the dual camera lenses it'll look a little weird in my opinion... And I like the slim/ naked look more so now than ever lol
I have three of the similar batteries and charger for my EVO 4G, just not extended. They have been a great value. Never plug in except to ADB. Never have to hover around a corded charging phone afraid to miss a call.
I ordered the similar for the EVO 3D. They haven't arrived yet, as well as the phone. Your post may be a little premature
Nothing really new to add, but I too use the cheap generic replacements in my Evo 4G. Last week, I got lucky on eBay and scored 3 Evo 3D batts plus a wall charger for $13.50 shipped. They probably won't be as good as the stock battery, but will be fine for me as I'm not a power user by any stretch. I routinely get 24 hours out of the stock battery, so even if they are only half as good, they will get me through the day with no problem.
Somebody linked these in IRC and thought I would share, thinking of getting these. http://cgi.ebay.com/3x-1800MAH-HIGH...ccessories&hash=item3cb94bf1db#ht_1744wt_1140
Yeah I have 3x batteries and the wall charger on the way since last week!
I'll let you know how it goes
Hmm...
I forgot about those.
I ordered 5 cases, screen protectors, and got them from china.
Inside were 2 batteries and an external charger.
They kind of got tossed somewhere....
1800mAh.
Popping one in now...
***
It's noticeably lighter than the oem, but the phone booted.... So... we'll see.
I don't really have enough use/drain time specs yet to tell you much, but I'll slap Juice plotter on the thing and see what happens...
After 2 days of use the stock Rezound battery can easily last me 10+ hours of use, so I've been on the lookout for a higher capacity battery that keeps the slim profile of the phone, as opposed to the larger 2750mAh external pack that adds a hump to the back.
Stumbled upon this today:
http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-rezound-extra-capacity-battery-1800mah.html
An extra 180mAh puts it close to what the GNexus would ship with, and just might be enough of a boost for the light/moderate users. I'm just hoping that the rating is indeed 1800mAh and not one of those cheap knock-offs that can barely keep up with the stock 1620mAh.

Ive had my eye on that battery as well, wont be instock till next week though, since the thunderbolt battery fits in this phone I have been contemplating buying one of the slimmer extended batteries used for it and using it in the rezound, atleast they are already tried and tested so we know which ones are working as advertised.
you must be a minimal user to get the battery to last that long.
after doing some streaming(or downloading), watching some videos & browsing the web, the phone lasts about 2 - 3 hours w/ stock.
(yes i know about bump charging, calibrating, etc)
strange, the battery is no longer listed on the htcpedia rezound accessory page, but the link still works

If the 1800 is a good quality battery and can fit in the standard back plate I'm down to get it. get about 4.5 hours is display on time right now so I'm cool with that. But if it was 5 or more I'd be even more down lol.

2 to 3 hours?!? wtf? My battery lasted 26 hours on a full charge before it died! That was setting up the phone after a factory reset and then streaming high quality music over slacker at various times. I set the phone to airplane mode while I was sleeping.
So did any1 ever get their hands on this one?

I have to think that legit companies like Seidio don't do this when they sell extended batteries.
Their 1750 for the Eris/Incredible (came with 1300mah) really did seem to add hours of life to the usability of the phones. I must assume that some companies rate things in terms of usability, and some do _not_
pko, i had that 1750, and it didn't do crap. the life of it lasted much less than HTC batteries did; seideio makes crap batteries that are a sham. many people did studies and found it was barely a 1400 mah battery. i bought the stock HTC 1500 mah battery fort he inc and it added more time than the 1750.

I had the same exact experience.
For those who fail to see increased usage time using non-oem batteries, could you mention also the brand of those batteries? I am in the market for a larger-capacity battery (only when they will come out in the near future, I hope). And based on the reviews on Amazon there are a couple of brands that seems to be receiving fairly consistent positive reviews.
I picked a pair of these up on ebay yesterday. Came with the charger (which is what I *really* want, as I already got a second stock battery on sale) and another power cord (which you can never have too many of).
I used similar OEM batteries in my Incredible, also 1800's which just barely fit inside the "default" back. I'll report back on my experience after I have them and run them for a few days. I did find that the ones in my Incredible ran pretty well.
I know everyone's pretty cautious about OEM stuff on ebay, but I only buy from USA sellers with near 100 ratings, and I have never been sorry. On the other hand, my Seidio extended battery pretty much burnt out about 9 months after I got it.

Beware the placebo effect. Also know that people have a tendency to try to justify their choices. Make a bad purchase and you find ways to turn it positive.
Those things can color reviews.

should come in today so i can see over the weekend if its any improbement.
EDIT: these register an error (the exclamation mark over the battery) and do not charge in the phone)
As much as I hated to do it, I found that simply disabling 4G extended my battery life a lot. I figure that 3G is fine for GPS or email, but if I want to download a file or something more intense, I can quickly enable 4G and then disable when I am done.
Not optimal, but it is free and most of the time basic tasks with low amounts of data being transferred don't really benefit from 4G, so why take the battery life hit if you don't have to?
When I want to stream a movie or something, or upload a large picture to FB, or maybe a video to YouTube, then I put 4G on and then it makes a big difference...

I have the ext battery and never use it. I get about 15+ hours average with this battery. I would say get it if you will not be around a charger for over 10+ hours or if you will be doing heavy video watching and gaming. I use my phone fairly heavily and get plenty of life from the standard with the ROM and kernel I'm running. The longest I've seen from my battery now is around 23 hours. The shortest I've seen lately was about 10 hours.

I have the extended battery. I only pop it in when I am going to be solely on 4G for more than 8-10 hours. I keep it in my truck fully charged incase I need it. Other than that I get about 15-20+ hours on the stock battery with moderate usage. Last night I had been on battery for 14 1/2 hours and still had 67%. Of course, I was on WiFi the whole time as I never left my house.
I have the extended battery and love it...I get 24+ hours from a full charge, and I never have to worry about it running out. I frequently ran out of battery with the stock battery. I think it's worth the peace of mind and being able to work your phone if you need to without having to use measures such as turning off data or something life that. It's not even that big that it would be worth a thought. If it's still half price, it's a no brainer.

Without going into whether or not you need it, I would get to your Verizon store and buy it while its half price. You have 14 days to return it.
Personally, I didn't like the bulk and lack of cases. I am going to try and stick with the standard battery for now. I returned the extended. I may be wrong but time will tell.
In terms of what people are saying here about battery life with the extended battery, I agree.
FYI... the extended battery doesn't seem to add weight, just bulk.

I was thinking that it would be hard to find covers for it
I work in construction so I have have done in the past is buy a cover for the phone and also buy a leather holster and clip it to my work belt, i have dropped my dinc multiple times from around 8' and nothing has ever happened to it.
If I get the extra bulk Im wondering if I can find that type of setup
the 1/2 off price is Real tempting
I'm a pretty heavy user of the muliti-media aspects for my phones so when I bought my new Rezound a couple days ago I bought the Verizon sourced 1750 extended battery and cover. It's my backup up I know I'll be using it frequently going forward.
I upgraded from my original AMOLED dinc. I love my Dinc and I love this new Rezound.

I will need to check that out,
I looked online for the Rezound ext battery and could not find anything on the VWZ website.
thanks for the info
They pulled it down because people were exploiting some loophole to get it for $5. I figured it would have been back up by now though.
I picked up an extended battery a couple of weeks ago while they were on sale, and definitely appreciate the extra use time it gives me over the standard battery.
That much said, I'll be sticking with the smaller battery under most circumstances, mostly because I prefer the Seidio Surface case that will not accommodate the extended battery. The Verizon case that fits the thicker back leaves the top and bottom of the phone exposed, which makes me a bit nervous in the event of a fall. I'd love it if Seidio would make an extended Surface case.

It's definitely worth it as long as you can get it for $25, i just got one a few days ago. I like to run my phone at full power and brightness so it's great, I got 27 hours yesterday (9 hours awake) at full brightness and 1.8 GHz while the screen was on, but then again I was on wifi also.

Here's an 1850mA for pretty cheap:

or this one but it does not fit the stock case:

Personnelly, I spent $10 and bought 4 spare batteries and a battery charger and I just replace on the go.
Most of these batteries they sell on Ebay are overrated in the actual mah capacity they claim. There is a way to check the mah with a meter and a small load and a timer but to me its too much trouble.
Some are good some are not. You are essentially buying a pig in a poke. They are cheap, not doubt about that.
Here is a lot I bought out of china. They sold these in a lot of 10 for $39.00 with free shipping. Took about two weeks for me to get them.
So, that's about $4.00 each. They seem fine.

As long as you don't charge them, they will have a long shelf life. Once you charge them then you should use them by cycling.
I only use 2 for now, rotating them out. If you play games or watch movies, the battery drains fast. I know its a pain to pop the back off and swap em but at least you can do it.
The new EVO 4G LTE, does not come with a removable battery. Once you run it down, it has to go on the charger. One feature I don't like about it. However, I think HTC is moving in that direction on all their future phones.
I like being able to change the battery. I used to listen with headset all day at work with my phone in my shirt pocket at the factory. I would have to swap out two to three batteries a day. I had a stack of them on another HTC phone I had.

Does anyone have an answer for my question?

I really hope your wrong. Although I wouldn't doubt it. Real stupid move. I'm gonna say it might really hurt them financially. This is one of the many reasons I've stayed away from that i-crap out there. I would have been one of the first on the waiting list to get the new evo 4g from sprint. I've been following that phone a long time. No quad core and lack of being able to replace a battery, no thanks.
I like extended batteries no matter how good the stock one is. My evo 3d stock battery is way better than when I had my evo 4g with stock battery. I'm rooted and runnin swagged out with the kernel it came with. I get 1-3 days of battery life with my stock evo3 battery. Can't wait till the end of the week for my new ext battery to get here. I'm really hoping I see 2-5 days or more. Not many phones will do that. Not even those precious i-devices those sheep love.

I'm going to guess and say they will fit just fine. I have the same charger and their pic shows it being flush with the top of the chatter. Plus it doesn't come with a extended battery back cover. Factory evo 3d batteries are 1730mah and those are 1900mah. Not much difference there. Its not like its a 2500-4000mah battery.

There is no being wrong about it. The phone is out. This is easy to prove.
I've played with it. The HTC rep at Radio Shack had one.
The battery life is tremendously good on the phone especially giving the size of the screen. However, like I say when its dead or almost there, it has to be on the charger. You cannot simple just swap in a fresh battery. Ain't happening on that phone. And I agree, big mistake for HTC - I reckon they're counting on the fact they've add enough bells and whistles to get you to overlook this.
I've always had an idea for a battery. Why can't they make a battery like a capacitor. Where it would charge up in like a nano second and discharge very slowly as needed on demand. That way, when you need to charge it, you'd just walk over the charger, zap it for 2 seconds and unplug it --- good to go for another few days.
Also what every happened to fuel cell powered cell phones? They told us that one fuel cell would power the phone for 20 to 30 years without ever charging. Science fiction I guess.
Even the new film type screens they're working on will require power. Even if you can get the screen as thin as a dollar bill and flexible, its still going to require a battery.
Wife is loving the One XxX rom sense camera; (I would like to try other possibly lighter Sense Roms but that is a different story..) - Need a better AOSP camera..
Just not happy with the 1620 battery life.. (using snuzzo's kernel helped battery life greatly as well..)
(we're taking the train to NYC and CT for classes and battery life is sucking; already doing 3G cdma (prl auto))
Looking at extended batteries.. (or new phones - batteries are cheaper..)
Amazon has a Laza 3240 (currently about $25 with the back)
[Q] Does anyone have this? Assuming it works how's the added extra bulk and such?
[Q] And what then about a case/holster/"Otterbox" type thing? Suggestions?
I have the oem Verizon extended and I use it on days when I don't see a charger for lengthy periods. I leave it on auto brightness and 4G and I get close to 4 hours screen time. Sometimes more. I dislike the bulkiness and people do ask me what's up with my phone..Lol
I prefer the 1620 battery for slimness but sometimes you gotta humble yourself and get the extended.
I also bought the Verizon oem extended battery when I bought the phone--it was on sale for half price--$25. It is bulky but when you need the juice, it does the trick. I also purchased the extended battery holster that Verizon sells at the same time. The Verizon battery is 2750 but easily last all day.
I bought the extended battery from Amazon (2750mAH). I use it with an Otterbox Defender. Definitely an improvement over the stock battery, but nothing profound. The phone will last me approx. 8-10 hours with medium use (playing music during my 35-40 min commute each way, texting, occasional web browsing). Timeout 30 seconds, auto-brightness on. I also use Juice Defender Ultimate/Set CPU to help with my battery life though. The bulk of the extended battery and defender case is definitely noticeable, but I personally prefer a large phone. I like having some weight to what I'm holding. It can be a chore to get it out of pockets on tighter fitting pants, and the silicon back has a tendency to come unset from the screen protector. However, it's not enough for me to stop using it. I'd recommend getting it still -- it's better than having to replace a screen (a lesson I learned twice before buying one).
@OP and other people too
How long does your stock battery last? Are you able to get through your day?
I was thinking of getting a stock battery but then I am not sure if it'll be enough for me or not. I am usually away from charger for 10 hours straight.

I'm lucky if my stocker lasts me more than 5-6 hours of medium use. 3-4 hours of heavier use (heavy web browsing and texting) on a good day. 30 second timeout, autobrightness on running juice defender ultimate/setCPU to conserve.

Agreed. With Snuzzo's latest Funky Kernel and Juice Defender running custom settings, I get about the same with the stock battery. I tend to keep the phone charging while in the office.
On weekends or when travelling I use the extended battery or even a Hyperion 3500 mAmp and that gets me through the entire day (but not necessarily "an" entire day, i.e. 24 hours).
One thing to be careful of with OEM batteries is the back, since the back has the antennae. The Hyperion back is useless -- I my Hyperion battery with the official Verizon supplied back with the extended battery.

That is some damned good advice. As soon as you said that I was like.. Duh!
How do you like the hyperion battery compared to the OEM extended?

I'd say the Hyperion gives me approx. 20% more than the OEM extended all other things being equal, however, on at least one occasion, I found the Hyperion battery was misreporting how much juice it had left, and all of a sudden I got a crazy 5% alert (after a long time trying to run the battery down). That's purely ballparking it, and remember 43% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

I have the OEM Verizon extended as well. People ALWAYS comment on my brick phone. I hate it how big it is, and I still find it BS that the Iphone 5 can run all day on an internal, the droid razor maxx can run all day on an internal, but I have to have a brick to make it all day. Anyway I have a very low signal with no wifi at work, so if I can't charge it immediately after work, or need to go out at night, I definitly use the the brick....I mean extended. Lasts all day with heavy use. It really is the best option if you can't get to a charger. Mostly thought I use the stock battery, and give it a boost on the charger so I have plenty of power in the evening. I use the VZW silicone case with the extended battery and it protects it pretty well.
I have the Laza extended battery. Works great, but with all the use, the back cover doesn't fully clip on (top left has a bit of a gap) and the ring around the headphone jack broke. Neither of these interfere with the usage. Battery life is definitely longer than the stock battery. I always slap it in before I go somewhere where I might not be able to charge and it hasn't failed me yet.
Even i got the laza extended battery from amazon(3250mAh).It is definitely better but its cover doesnt fit properly and phone becomes very very bulkier.I would instead suggest the 1750 mAh laza battery from amazon.They ship two units with a battery charger and a case to hold everything!And most importantly it does not require another back door,fits with stock back cover.Havent tried it but i think having a spare charged battery in pocket is far better than carrying a brick weight all the time

I used the OEM extended battery for a few months and got used to the bulk. It was ok but never as good as I thought it should be.
A few months ago I bought the LAZA extended battery and like it a lot more. It can get me through a day much, much better than the OEM extended battery. I kept the oem back cover though because I didn't like the "laza" printed on theirs. Works the same.
Last week I finally got a replacement rezound to fix the proximity sensor problem and wanted to try the slim thing again.
I'm trying the Laza standard size battery. It's rated better than the oem standard battery and for $23 you get 2 batteries & a charger.
It's not nearly as good as extended but is definitely an improvement over oem. Time will tell.
Anybody know where to get the OEM cover only for the extended batteries? I ordered the Laza battery w/ cover and it should be here today, but I keep reading all kinds of hit or miss signal with the provided cover. So I guess I'm just hoping I get a good cover that actually works, and if not, I'll be wanting the OEM one. Any ideas are appreciated. Also, on a side note, HTC.com no longer even shows anything for the Rez. Sad, really.

Sadly, eBay is probably your best best for Rezound accessories now.

Yea, kinda figured. I've been scoping it out the last couple days, but unfortunately for me, nobody is selling the cover alone. Fingers crossed for a good Laza one!!! Although one of the reviews on amazon for it said a guy had problems with the cover and they sent him a new one with a free case. That would be sweet! Lol.

Zarboz the developer might sell one. I think the OEM cover is a good idea though.Have you tried adjusting the brass fittings and terminals or making some slight tweaks to make the terminals meet better. Several guys did that with foil spacers a while back that worked good for the life of the phone.
Also check with Verizon. I bought my extended battery and cover for like $20 bucks when the phone was popular. If it's been reduced or on their battery special or something it might be cheaper than ebay and shipping, or a little more expensive but worth it since you can walk in and get it, or hell test drive it in the store and see if it seems to help any before ordering it.
Haven't gotten the battery yet. Still out for delivery. Just hoping I get a good one. From reading experiences and reviews from others, some work perfectly, others need replacement covers. Hopefully it arrives before I go home for the day, and I'll know for sure. Thanks for the tip tho. May try and make a trip to a VZ store in the next couple days if need be. I just saw they had nothing on the site. Didn't even think about going in.
How often do you replace your batteries I have had the 2750mah battery for a while now and now I struggle to get a full day. I guess I am trying to figure out if it is related to the different roms or time for a new battery.
