Extended battery or cheap replacement battery

That being said, your always suppose to drain your battery 100% on its 1st usage. So when you get the phone, kill the battery and then charge it up completely.. it will hold a charge longer, charge faster and have a longer life.

So not True..your actually not suppose to drain Lion batteries.

Ive notice with the many Smartphones ive had that the batterie usage after a week or so actually increases

I am not sure what to think. Mine came almost full charge. Ran down pretty quick. Charged overnight and ran it til it said turn off b/o low battery or else.
Still seems like pretty short life.
I think an extra battery & dedicated charger is a must, even with a car charger and extra wall charger handy.
There is just no way I am going to set it down and not touch it for 24 hours.
Appearently I am not the King of Droids domain!

My battery was draining fast the first couple days. I went into settings and about phone. It shows all of your battery usage broken into percentages. I realized my display was using 80% of the battery life. I went into the display settings and the auto brightness was turned off. I turned it on and have had no issues since.

That's funny - two days ago, I noticed the same thing, did the same thing, and got the same results. I'd still like the life to be longer (generally not happy with "standard" batteries and tend towared "extended" versions), but this is much better!

I looked and looked and there aren't any non OEM batteries out there. I actually got an OEM battery from verizon for $39 with free overnight shipping. It's the best deal out there. Now if they could just come out with a charger to charge the battery so I don't have to charge them both in the phone.

Ebay is full of OEM and non-OEM car chargers. I have used non-OEM's that have the chip in them to prevent overcharging and I have never had a problem. I say go with the cheapest one possible, since IMHO they are all the same. If anyone thinks differently, please let me know.

It looks like they have a nice selection for other phones listed on Seido, but the prices are just too expensive IMO. For a replacement blackberry battery they want the full MSRP of $49.99. The purpose for me to shop online is to get a deal. I'm going to go with Ebay as it hasn't failed me in the past.

It amazes me how poeple say every smartphone has bad battery life... compared to what? a regular phone.. well yeah, all regular phones do is make calls and text.

It's like saying a Corvette has bad gas mileage... compared to what? a Prius?... compare Oranges to Oranges, the Droid has average battery life for a smartphone.

My Iphone holds up at least double the amount the droid does with heavy use.
