I have a huge discount at Verizon and was wondering if I should buy the extended battery there, or buy another brand one for my phone?

Does the Motorola extended battery really make a difference?

I have heard it definitely increases time between charges by a few hours... I've thought about getting it

I bought this battery the same time I upgraded to my X. At first it lasted about as long as the stock battery, but after a week or so it's good for 11-12 hours with moderate use of the browser or other app. It's certainly better than having a small brick on the back of the phone like the larger batteries

Thank you for the feedback. Ill probably pick it up from Verizon later this week.

It picked up the extended battery a week ago from Verizon. It cost me $27 after discount. It has made a nice difference, I was on vacation this week and getting roughly 48 hours out of the battery between charges. On the stock default battery I was getting 24 hours or less.

With my typical daily use, I gained about an extra 3 hours of use time (display on). The battery, even at full price, is well worth the price in my opinion.

I have the extended battery but I got it on ebay. Not one of the knockoffs. It came with an awesome "shell" that fits perfectly with the extended battery. I definitely notice an improved battery life. Well worth it!

Yes, get it. That's a good price and the extended run time is great. You shouldn't be disappointed.

overpriced even with my 25% off discount, but still quite better than stock battery

They do not have the battery and hard shell as a set anymore but here is the link to the battery & cover: Yoobao Motorola Droid X Extended Battery Door 2600 mah | eBay

Here is the link to the custom case for the extended battery: Custom Case for Motorola Droid X extended battery/door | eBay

Makes a nice difference with golf GPS which keeps the display on for the whole round ~4-5 hours.
I couldn't get through a whole round without the phone dying, but with the extended battery, now I can.
