Yup. A rezound battery is the same size, works with the tbolt, and is slightly better. Just be sure you get a standard rezound battery and not an extended one (which also works with the tbolt but is huge and going have ti get a special cover.)

In my honest opinion yes. The extended battery really isnt that bad in terms of looks and feel. You do get a better feel and grip on the phone and its much easier to use it one handed. It doesnt look that bad and after a few days, you wont even notice it.
Everyone that has taken my advice loves it and wish they would have did it sooner...
Hmm ill take your advice on that battery
Ordered the official HTC extended battery for this phone... Hope to see some major improvements

depends on what you want they have battery they have 2750 mAh and 3500 mah thats what i know so far. so depending on the size of the phone you care for like if you want some life in the phone but not that bulky go with the 2750 mah. now if your like me always streaming videos or surfing the web and don't care about size go with the bigger battery
How much use could one expect from a rezound battery?

I can say that I have good battery life and I use the phone between moderate & heavy.
4G, Facebook, twitter (3 accounts @ 10 minute updates), texting, notifications. games & video watching plus email checks (3 accounts) every 2 hours. Start at 100% at roughly 6-7am and still have around 30% at around 1am. i do have it on wifi from 9pm to about 1 am most times when Im home because I control my roku unit with the phone.

Is this with an extended period battery or a rezound battery?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I don't mind the bulge, i think it adds grip.
With the extended battery I get about two full days and part of a third, with one Gmail, one Yahoo email (15min), and Facebook. I also had an Exchange with push and got the same times.
However, I mostly do quick internet searches and 10-15min gaming sessions twice a day. On the stock battery I was getting a day tops.

Extended battery. The rezound battery will only give you a little xtra. I hate to say it but some of the claims by people with the rezound battery are hard to believe.Not saying they are all bull but I dont think they are exactly as stated.
Well I haven't seen any claims from some that use the rezound battery and was kinda curious what could be expected from that battery.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I bought the Rezound battery a while back hoping for some amazing numbers, but in honesty, you may get a few hours out of it. I've never had jaw dropping hours with it but if you r wanting a big boost, I would go with the 2750mah. I'm almost leaning towards it myself.

wow, that was nice!!!
Sadly you won't be able to get much more performance out of a stock-sized battery, the manufacturer usually fits the largest battery they can in the phone. Any third party claiming to have a higher capacity is usually lying about the specs.
I would instead focus on software tweaks, I can easily get a full day out of my stock battery with moderate use.
I don't lower any of my settings. I keep the push email. Sometimes I use Live Wallpaper. I let my device pull LTE data speeds whenever I want. With the extended battery it lasts longer than I need in a day. Other than needing to order a case I don't mind. The bulge in the back is not as bad as some people made it seem. Pros outweigh the cons for me.

app helped my battery life
I'm new here and the TB is my first Android phone. I came across an app that has helped with my battery life..... called keyboard backlight controller. It allows you to turn off the two lights that eluminate the four soft keys on the bottom of the phone. I've only been using it a couple days, but really seems to have helped by having those lights off, not HUGE diff, but anything helps.
Not sure if this was the right place to post this, but thought it might be helpful to others. It does require root.

It would be helpful if you elaborate your Note's set-up. Such as like what ROM is being used, brightness level, LTE/no LTE, etc...
My Note currently has no issue lasting a full work-day with LTE on the whole time. And this is with moderate usage. (No videos, and minimal music)
I'm satisfied with mine... Just keep a charger near by.

There are only a few reasons why you see your battery life as terrible.
1) You are coming from an iPhone. But now you're using a tool of a phone, not a toy, so your battery life will be lower.
2) You are coming from the Droid RAZR MAXX, which is the only android with a bigger battery.
3) You have a rogue app that you didn't use before that is draining your battery life.
4) You are using excessive amounts of LTE data, and you came from a phone without LTE.
If those apply to you, there's your answer. If they don't, you may just have a bad device or battery.
You really need to be more specific when stating something as subjective as battery life is terrible. May I suggest you post screenshots of your battery stats so that you can give some insight to why your battery life is terrible. Coming on these forums and ranting without evidence won't get you very far.

Pretty much every device is unique, even though they are produced and assembled in identical fashion. It's possible for a device to have faulty software or internal hardware from the factory that could drain battery, and it's also possible for it to be shipped with a faulty battery. It's not a common issue, but also not unheard of. If nothing in his usage of the device is out of the ordinary, then it's possible he received a faulty device or battery, and should exchange it.

Install cpu spy and make sure you are going to deep sleep. For weeks I couldn't make it through the day and once I realized that the phone wasn't sleeping I found the app that was causing it and deleted it. I get great battery now but still reboot every morning because my original charging cable was lost so my phone will not sleep until I reboot.

I would say battery life can be defined by screen on time only.

Compared to what???
If you are trying to compare your Note to Apple itoy that is like trying to compare pink tricycle with pink tassels to a Corvette ZR1. No comparison at all, definitely more than apples and oranges. Having owed, well still own till I sell it, Dell Streak only other 5 inch screen out there. Agree it is still not apples to apples (or vette to vette), but Shelby Mustang to ZR1 and can say the battery performance is about the same. I upgraded my Steak to a 2400 mAh battery and had all services on and OC'ed to 1.9 ghz, yes I know single core, standard definition resolution, etc, but as close as you can get in 5 inch screen world. So far the 2500 mAh and stock ROM, with everything on, battery time is relatively the same. Will say only phone that might compare is Samsung Skyrocket HD that is set to come out this month(?), inside they are close to the same, but the screen is 4.6 inch super Amole plus.
Can anyone help me out? This is my battery on battery monitor widget. It says 1500 mah. I've only had my phone off the charger for 3 hours and I'm on 33 percent and watching it drop fast.

Battery Monitor Widget guesses at the capacity (or hard codes it). Go into the apps settings and you can tell it the battery capacity.
Also, make sure your using decent batteries. The two for $15 deals on ebay are not direct replacements. Stick with oem or brand names llike Anker.

I have heard that the mugens do last longer but after 3-6
Months they degrade and end up like a stock battery. Not worth it in my opinion. But for extended, it takes about 4-5 hrs to charge mine but I only charge my phone via usb, not wall charger

mine can charge in a little under 3 hours with a dead batterry... but then again it is never dead...
its like it cant die. Running n64 emulators, streaming netflix, it still trucks through the day.
I bought the OEM Thunderbolt Extended Battery. Same results as above. 3 Hours to charge from dead. The bulk is also definitely worth it as stated above. After 26 hours I still had 10% battery life. I used bluetooth, wifi, played music, and games though out the day. (Pokemon, Shadow Gun). About 3 hours of screen on time. I do only have 3G enabled (CDMA Only). I'm in a 3G only area.
My phone takes about an hour to fully charge. From 30%, I'd say about 45 min.
Everybody else takes a few hours. I guess mine is just really fast.
Ok thanks for the replies. Thought maybe my battery was defective, but three hours seems about right. My tbolt extended took hour and half, so i thought there was a problem.

I had some issues with my battery when I got it. Turns out the stock clock/weather thing on the lock screen couldn't get a lock on my position (just kept saying "current location"), and would run GPS for 10 seconds whenever I unlocked my phone. After fiddling with GPS and the weather settings themselves for awhile to no avail, I said F it and just let it happen. Eventually it got a lock and since then battery life has been fine.

Buy a new phone.
I started this morning around 75% and got to 8% in about 8 hours of heavy usage. I must have sent a few hundred texts today along with a bunch of snapchats, took a bunch of pictures, web browsing, some Navigation use, an hour or so of Skyping, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Battery saver was on, but I had data running all day, Wifi and LTE per the situation. It actually said that Messaging was the main battery hog at 32%.
What I've taken from it is that if you're going to be using the phone heavily, it doesn't hurt to have a charger.
Where do you guys see how much screen time is used? I don't see it with sense

This guy used all the roms he could get his hands on, and all of them, according to him, had bad battery life.
He doesn't understand his amaze or his battery is faulty, and blames the Rom every time he has bad battery life. He needs to get an iphone or Windows Phone because I doubt he understands Android.

Then you need to get a new battery because you clearly have a faulty one. You are the only person on here with a 1 hour battery while everyone else gets 24 on light use.
For what it's worth, this phone seems to eat batteries. I've been through 3, and its not even my daily driver anymore. The processor gets extremely warm, and that in turn gets the battery warmed up too. You can find batteries fairly cheap on Amazon but be careful about which ones you buy.

Yeah, you should expect battery life on par with a first generation LTE device. If you're going to play on it a lot I would advise a second battery and a charger to keep you going. That's what I had to do when it was my daily. A second battery went with me wherever I was going, no questions asked.

I think it comes down to expectation. I was able to play Inotia 4 for about 6-8 hours in airplane mode while flying.
However, in my home area the signal strength is weak. If I have 4G on, I lose about half of my battery power in about an hour.
(The battery is about 1 year old by now.) I bought a new Anker battery from Amazon. Reportedly it works well with the Amaze.
I'll have to test it out. Though I think in my area the battery life is not going to be too great due to weak signal...
It is ironically much better when I'm traveling.
install greenify from playstore (ensure you have supersu and root first) and you will be fine. my year old dead battery became alive again. also you can use anker battery, combined with greenify the phone can last day and half or more.
