Seidio 2600mAh extended battery

[windstrings]

The mv reading during a charge it not real helpful. Battery temp etc will make a difference.
When you immediately take it off the charger, you should be about 4180 or so.... 4165 may be ok if your battery is cold "70 degrees etc".

I only got close to 80 hours from very light use as stated before... once you get that long you have 3 beddy by times involved instead of two.... so more standby hours the battery gets to rest while time is clicking away..... in other words.. that makes it look better than it really is.

I don't recommend trying to compare your use with me or anybody else too much because we all use different apps and are so variable on how we use our phones.... especially over that time period the variabilites increase exponentially!

I would just suffice to say that after a few cycles, Seidio states the battery needs some good healthy charges..... (IE: 3 or so hours longer than when it says full.... remember its not really charges will the resting voltage without a charge is above 4180mv or so) and after a few cycles most of the cells will be pretty equalized and you can use as normal and not worry about discharging all the way as Lithium does not need that once broke in.

Oh yea... Suffice to say..... it should pretty close to twice the time of your normal use!
Keep in mind it may appear your getting "more" than twice the time because you enter a new sleep cycle of when you go to bed and the phone gets to rest while time clicks away.

I know some folks compare the price to buying a second stock battery and if you don't use a case and don't mind keeping up with the extra battery and another 35.00 bucks or so on a 600.00 phone is an issue, then I would recommend just buying a second OEM battery.

Otherwise.. I like never having to pull my battery.
Since it last so long, I never need to use my link usb cable either as the little app called "websharing" does an awesome job of making your computer one with your droid for file sharing via wifi.

Plus at night "I don't have a dock" with the extended battery, I can just rest my phone on its edge and I mute my phone.... any new text or emails come in I will see the led flashing and I don't wake up my wife.

4:40 and still going 3737mV and calibrating again.

You know, since I started using the extended battery, at least half of the time I reboot now, any widgets I have faile to load or hang. Sometimes I have to reboot, sometimes I can wait it out. It takes about a min or less, but its not resonsive during that time. I could be something else all together and be a coincidence, but I haven't switched back to my stock batt to test it Anyone else notice anything like this?

Can't imagine widgets loading would be related to the battery......

if it fits in their case for the droid, perhaps i will be interested.

if it does not, most likely no.

Hello Jay,

Thank you for your interest in our products! We will be two different kinds of batteries -- Slim Extended that fit in the original battery compartment and offers more power than the OEM one, or Extended that requires a separate battery door (included) that will give you nearly double the capacity.

The Slim Extended will fit our current Innocase, and we are currently developing a Innocase Surface Extended that will fit the Extended Battery.

Please stay tuned or check our site for latest updates!

i am kind of warry of using aftermarket batteries ... but this slim extended is pretty enticing ...

does Seidio do extensive testing with the phone and different chargers ? it wouldn't look too good if the battery exploded or overheated ...

Normally I wouldn't either, unless maybe there is a voltage issue or the OS is just slowing down trying to get a read on the battery that its not equiped to read. I dont know.... I'll have to test with the standard batt and see if I can get any kind of consistant diference

Soooo... does anyone have a clue when the Innocell Slim Extended Life Battery will be available for the Moto Droid!!! That's the one I want (and not for Christmas if you know what I mean!!!).

Those type of batteries are actually pretty hard to find..... you really have to go crazy on looking for a budget battery to find unprotected cells.

Seidio has among the best reputation I can find for cellphone batteries...they just aren't some vague ebay fly by night company working out of a broken down shop in china somewhere... they have a good reputation and excellent customer service bar none..

Can Someone suggest a good wireless speakers for the droid?

Ugh, battery drained about the same amount of time as yesterday, sightly more, but I didn't have the screen on the whole time while driving to and from work. I'm getting about the same, if not a little less then my stock battery. I"ve had a couple days of 10 hr charges and there have been no improvment to my battery life. Being that this think is more then twice the capacity, its not even in the realm of reason that it should get the same or less then the stock batt. not good.
