Also should a generic charger work fine for the Evo3D as long as it has the micro usb end to it?

let me know what you guys think. If I were to bet i would say the batteries are a no no but the chargers are fine. Sorry for being a newb
no one responding. is it because you guy don't know or because everyone is laughing that I posted this question.. lol.
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

The highlight of this is I know there were not a lack of responses because people are laughing. This forum doesn't hold back. Once everyone gets a phone n hads we MAY all become a little more civil Until then brace your self.
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.

They do, mine last 26 in my evo. Its more about how efficently you use the energy.
Non OEM batteries are notorious for being over rated in mAh and usually are lower capacity then the OEM. Batteryboss.org

I just ordered a pair of them with a charger. I have a few of these China batteries that I keep as back-ups for my current Evo and they work great. I keep a fully charged one in my car, another in my desk at work and another one at home. I hardly ever use them, but they've been handy when I've needed them.

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...

I recommend Chichitec 2000 mah. battery. Fits under stock cover comes with 2 batteries and a wall charger. I never run out of juice and it costs $30 bucks at the most. Been using mine for about 5 months now and is still running good. Need to calibrate when first using it charge it up fully then fully drain for 3 times each battery then your good to go.

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.

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.

Hey,
I was trawling the internet for some cheap extended batteries. (my only other experience with them was the official HTC one for the HD2).
I heard someone saying that there is a good 3500mah one going on Amazon for £11. I'm presuming he meant this as it is the first result: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecell-3500M...A9ZW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333452409&sr=8-1

I got this on amazon and has been doing calibration with the battery monitor widget and its calibrating out to at least 2500mah. One peculiar thing is the first 40% or so drop by very fast, but then from 50-30 percent it last a lot longer, this has been notice by another poster also. the battery door is also decent, first generation soft touch rubber coating type material and not as ugly as the Seidio door

You buy many spare batteries for the amount an original battery costs. One spare battery made in China is about € 2,50.
What the real capacity is doesn't matter, as long it does it job as spare battery, you can always order a second one.
Also would it be better to buy the 3500mah and use that as primary. or buy something like this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Qual...ultDomain_3&hash=item43ab4ef97d#ht_2079wt_805
And use it as a secondary battery? Which would provide the best overall battery life?

that is hard to say, because everybody usage pattern is different, but even if its only 2500mah it still comes to 50% more capacity then the stock 1700mah.
Last night charge cycle adjust it to about 2700 mah, I don't think its settle down yet, seem the more charge history the widget collect the more accurate the calibration should be.

Guys dont trust some of these batteries. I bought a few of these similar type batteries cause they were really cheap 2 for $9.99 with charger. This has been discussed to death already. I bought another set of 3x + 1 charger. They didnt last long at all. I peeled the stickers on all of them at they were all had 1000mah stamped on it but the sticker says 1800mah. This has been pointed out here before too. It was a complete waste of time and a hassle trying to get my $ back. Seller didnt bother taking the batteries back. For the total of $20 I spent and headache I couldve just bought and anker or chichitec. Which I did. I bought 2x 1900mah anker + charger for 24.99 a while back and they have been great. Been using them for 10 months now and last slightly longer than stock. I will look for the thread so you guys can do some reading but it did get pretty lengthy. Spend the extra $5 or even $10 and dont go for these cheap batteries.
Here's the thread. Take time to read it and it may be worth your trouble later down the road.

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.

Will this fit the stock battery cover?

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.
