Extended battery

[mikehal38]

Has anyone bought an extended battery from ebay? If so how were your results? I found one for about $ 18 that comes with the extended battery door and just wondering if anyone has given it a shot.

Is this the Motorola BH6X, or a third party battery?

FWIW, I have the BH6X, and it makes it through most days (by comparison the 5X had to be charged every day).

It is the 5x.

There are pics of a similar 3500 mAH battery and cover here:

Gorilla Gadgets 3500 mah extended battery

...early report says that it lasts 23 hours with heavy use, and 3 days with light use; still waiting to find out if it updates the battery status properly.

I bought one off ebay the BH6X and I think it is fake because it drains as the standard battery and drains 10% every hour

Was it new and still in motorola plastic?

yea, it was new and i just contacted motorola and it is genuine original, but i don't notice a big difference from the standard battery...it feels like it drains about the same with one hour extra of difference...

For extended batteries you need to let it fully charge and full drain several times to activate the full potential of it's capacity and calibrate it. The power of the battery will usually not be noticeable until that occurs. Sometimes if that doesn't work formatting your phone does the trick. But you never know with eBay batteries..
