Congrats! I've been toying with the idea of getting a setup like this, but don't really use enough battery at this point to justify it. Mine lasts all day unless I'm going Droid-crazy...

I'm still a newbie - how much time are you getting on average for battery life between charges? I am seriously considering a second battery.

Depending on usage, I tend to get around 20 hours or so personally. There are MANY settings, apps, and features that come into play though. I feel like I've got a pretty good handle on what to use and what not to use and when to do so to keep my battery level green.

Take some time and play around with settings, both system [WiFi, Sync, and those things] and within your apps [refresh rates are a big one with any that pull information from the internet.]

I have always had a spare battery for all of my phones. As far as my Droid I have had to use my spare maybe 3 times since Nov. i get around 18-20 hours of use out of the battery using my phone for music, the various surveyor apps, as a flashlight, GPS, and games. I am one of those people that believes in the 7 "P" s " Proper Pre-Planning Prevents P*ss Poor Performance" .

I'd be the same, but my car has an A/C outlet, so I use my wall charger and don't tend to be away from a power-source for long enough to justify buying another battery at this point...
