    Extended battery?

    I was planning on getting an extended battery, since I use my phone quite often and I'm a terrible battery conserver. Is the standard Motorola extended battery the best one, or have others come out? I'm pretty new at all this.

    Also, I have the Otterbox Defender case, which I love. I heard that th extended batteries won't fit at all with it though. What's a comparable case (or the closest) that will fit with the honking battery in? Thanks for the help!

    I heard there's one flaw with extended batteries. Some how droid doesn't read the battery charge correctly. Hence, you don't know the true state or charge of the battery. It has something to do with how droid handles the battery. I bought a genuine droid battery with a external charger so I would always have a spare. But I have noticed the charge showing on my battery indicator is not correct! Droid lost it's ability to show me with accuracy the true charge of the battery because I strictly use my external standalone charger which is also genuine Motorola.

    I am not sure about the DX but the Original Droid does not read the extended batteries correctly - I have learned to deal with it

    Just got the Mototola Extended Battery

    I have a question; I just got my sweetly discounted Motorola extended battery and found that with the stock battery cover it puts pressure on the backside of the screen. I have the holster case combo, and was wondering if using that case without the battery door on would be an issue of concern?

    Thanks for all the wisdom on this forum.

    My Motorola extended battery (D2) came with another back. It also fit my shell/holster...I wouldn't have bought it otherwise.

    That's good news, I'll have to check that one out. Is the cheapest place to get it still Verizon? I find that hilarious since everything else they sell accessory-wise is ludicrously overpriced.

    Mine was $49.99 which is kinda high indeed.
