Purchased this and received it today.

Phone Setup:

H/W: 0003

Fresh 3.5.0.1

netarchy 2.6.32.27 cfs sbc

PRI 1.90_003

PRL 60677

Fully charged the battery using a wall charger.

Cleared the battery stats in recovery and cleared the history of the battery monitoring app. Within that same app I changed the battery rating to 3500 mAh. I will report my findings in this post.

04/11/11 5:18 pm

Wanted to chime in that while I was prepping the phone I was using the extended battery and could literally see the % dropping from 100% to 94% in less than a minute. That was after leaving the battery in the wall charger and waiting for to be fully charged.

This does not bode well.

04/12/11 9:30 am

Wifey plugged in the phone for a minute to grab some pictures our newborn daughters >_<. So adjusted the phone is now 15 hours off the charger and I'm now at 59% with light/moderate usage.

04/12/11 5:14 pm

Well after 24 hours of use I'm not impressed by the battery's capacity. With very light/moderate usage I'm now down to 14% 24 hours later. I get the same lasting power as my usual 1500 mAh OEM. Around 2:40pm I made a phone call and I was @ 41%. Two minutes after the call I was down to 31%. That much drainage should not be happening.

The seller explained that the battery would have to go through several charging cycles to get the full amount. This is BS. It should perform at full capacity out the gate after being charged to full capacity using a wall charger. This is a lithium-ion battery. Not Nickel-cadmium.

i ordered one friday, and just got it today. speedy as f**k shipping. Its charging right now, but the battery door looks really clean and i love the way it feel in my hand, deff recommend these batteries to anyone that needs longer battery life. thanks OP for the link to this one hell of a damn deal!
[EVO 4G Accessories] egzthunder1:
You're welcome :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] Zabalba:
My findings updated...
[EVO 4G Accessories] nebenezer:
Well.. On my second discharge cycle I got 5:45hrs..

I know they are supposed to wear in after a few full cycles but I really expected better out of 3500. I suppose I'll charge it on an sbc kernel tonight, and I just saw that JD now fully supports Gingerbread.. Hopefully I'll be able to get 24hrs of moderate use. If this batt doesn't do it I'll have to find one that does, I'm already used to the new dimensions :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] egzthunder1:
I hope that my next cycle makes this thing kick in... I think I am up to the 5th cycle already... I am not sure what caused the initial results I posted but so far its being dying like crazy. I have switched back to Sense Rom to try and get the battery life I first got, but so far nothing... I wonder if the battery app has something to do... maybe it is polling too much... hmm...
[EVO 4G Accessories] nebenezer:
Yep, next discharge will be sans 3rd party battery monitor(s). Charge will be in powered off evo until light is green for >1hr, then over night on sbc, undecided as to which right now.
[EVO 4G Accessories] beanx:
i guess i spoke to soon, i got about 13.5-14 hours out of the battery after the first charge while at work (i work 12 hour shifts) with light to moderate texting and very light web browsing, and a 5min phone call. Im charging it back up this time with a wall charger instead of hooked to my PC, so we will see if this matters at all. I really hope it does because 13-14 hours is about what i was getting with my 1 year old 1500mAh battery. I also called the supplier like multiple other people and got told the same thing about the cycling of the battery and blah blah, it sounds like bull**** but im no expert i guess we will see if things start to look up. :(
[EVO 4G Accessories] BoomerEvo:
Long time listner, first time caller :P

Just got mine today, poped it in and it had a 83% charge on it. I am trying to drain it with 4G, wifi and blutooth and background data turned on. Been using the browser, played some angry birds, listend to some music, and after 4 hours is only down to 59%

I cant wait to see how it preforms after its conditioned.
[EVO 4G Accessories] beanx:
hmmmm... sounds like its hit or miss then? some people getting good results others getting horrible results?
[EVO 4G Accessories] got_killed:
I wouldn't necessarily say that people are just randomly getting terrible or very great results. I received my battery two weeks ago and it worked horribly. Found out they were defective so I returned for a replacement. Hopefully this one will workout for me and any of the other people that are experiencing issues with theirs.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nebenezer:
I shouldn't even be posting yet but I'm very impressed with SZ so far.

Watching bmw and I'm down to 2-4ma usage. Earlier today I charged for several hours, in a powered-off evo. Then I did the unplug, plug in, wait for green, unplug, repeat... for about an hour watching tv. Meanwhile I flashed SZ 1.1.0..

I put the "fully charged" 3500 in my phone and I've been charging at 100% for several hours now which tells me there's no way I was fully charged last time. Plus it's cool you can switch sbc off anytime :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] nebenezer:
Just checking in.. This is cycle #2. BMW off, JD on. The first 7:45 was overnight, data off, no use so I got around 10 hrs.. Much better than yesterday but not much better than stock yet.
[EVO 4G Accessories] beanx:
Hey man just lettin u know i did a test with JD and found it to actually use more battery than help anything. Ive read others with the same outcome, you might wanna try a battery cycle without JD on just to see if it helps u. Just a thought.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nebenezer:
I'm not sure how it could.. I only use it to disable radios, not overclock and no location/wifi business. Thanks though, I'll go without it on the next cycle and see what happens.

I became a JD believer on 2.2, this is my first time using it since they added full 2.3 support.
[EVO 4G Accessories] thedudejdog:
my 4th charge lasted 1 day and 10 hours. going to wipe battery stats this time and not reboot or flash anything and see how that goes.

I am using JD
[EVO 4G Accessories] majorkillin:
I've had this exact battery for about a month. Longest I've had it last was about 36 hours, of light use. But honestly it just depends. I can kill it pretty quick if I'm bored at work and playing a lot of Angry Birds. Also I'm using a SBC kernel and it hasn't exploded yet. :-)
[EVO 4G Accessories] BoomerEvo:
Just finished my first cycle of going from 100% to 0%, lasted 36 hours of moderate useage, only 3G turned on, some music listen, web browsing and lots of angry birds.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Pivo187:
Is this the same as this ebay version: http://cgi.ebay.com/3500mAh-Extende...&otn=1&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=8458633315540369601
[EVO 4G Accessories] thedudejdog:
yea it looks the same.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nebenezer:
Didn't get a screen cap of it before it died.. I got about 10 hours on charge #3.. :-/
[EVO 4G Accessories] nebenezer:
Are you getting any better results yet?
[EVO 4G Accessories] egzthunder1:
Not really... I think I am gonna end up returning this thing... I may have gotten a bad battery as from the feedback I have seen around here and on Amazon, there are way too many people praising this thing for it to be just a coincidence. Aw well....
[EVO 4G Accessories] nebenezer:
I'm not giving up on it just yet, but I did order a 3500 from GorillaGadgets for $30 shipped(2-3day). We'll see how that goes.

The seidio would be tempting but not for $70..

On my fourth cycle now with the Amazon Special :p, on track to get ~15hrs so it seems to be improving somewhat.
[EVO 4G Accessories] BoomerEvo:
On my second cycle. Started this morning with 100%, droped to 87% in the first few hours, then I rememberd I had wifi turned on. Once i turned it off it slowed down, has gone from about 87% to 83% in about 2-3 hours.

battery monitor widget shows about 28 hours of battery life left at its current rate.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Sceneiskeen:
I am on my second 100%-0% cycle. And ive had my phone on since 11 o'clock. and its at 75%. Ive been getting 24+ hours.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nebenezer:
There may be hope for this one after all..

Pfft.. I guess I spoke too soon..smh
[EVO 4G Accessories] thedudejdog:
Neb you've got the android system bug. check spare parts see what's keeping your phone awake. then you may have to do a full wipe.

don't blame the battery it's your setup that's killing it
[EVO 4G Accessories] nebenezer:
Oh reeeely?

I looked in spare parts, nothing seems out of order. Nothing is causing long wake-locks, I think the longest was like 8s or so..

What should I be looking for?
[EVO 4G Accessories] thedudejdog:
well for me it was "Google backup service" check in settings>privacy>backup my data and uncheck that. then reboot and see if that gets it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mulhiny:
I just got this battery the other day and after one full charge it seems to hold its own. For $12 shipped I'm very happy. Currently I'm at 65% after about 12 1/2 hours of my normal use. Usually it would take me only 6 hrs to hit 65% with stock battery. I'll post a pic of usage once it's about to die.
[EVO 4G Accessories] thedudejdog:
this is pretty high useage for me http://db.tt/V5Y2hV7

Usage Pic

MIUI 1.3.5 with 2.6.35.8-cyanogenmod-bcblended kernel.
[EVO 4G Accessories] thedudejdog:
yesterday I got my lowest battery life, 20 hours. for me it was totally worth 12 bucks or whatever it was.
[EVO 4G Accessories] aksharpatel417:
I have it it is not bad. I would not say that it is 3500mah i say its around 2500mah even though it says 3500mah. It is worth it for the money but it does make the phone look huge so i go back to stock once in a while. I found that if you do not use the stock for a while you get great battery life.
[EVO 4G Accessories] dslisfree:
Just ordered for $8 total.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nickb519:
Is everyone finding out that the 1st 10% seems to go really quick. Like in a first few mins then it hold its charge.
[EVO 4G Accessories] stinkbud:
I am having the same issue with fast drain of the initial 10%. I am running nightly build #39 of CM7 right now. I charge both from having and I also use a wall charger as well. For the size of the phone with the battery in it I was really hoping for better life.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nickb519:
Yeah it is weird I do like the cover for the camera on the battery cover. It seems to last a good amount thought that 1st 10%

I am using the stock Rom.
[EVO 4G Accessories] BoomerEvo:
Well I have done about 5 or 6full charge/discharge cycles...and with light to moderate usage I get about 30-35 hours on a full charge...and that's with loosing the first 5-10% pretty quickly cause I wont use an SBC kernel.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nickb519:
I seem to get about 12 to 13 with moderate usage some web serfing some streaming music and a few phone calls and maybe a few pictures.

Ok new to android question sbc kernel? What does that mean and how does it relate to the stock Rom? Also how do you charge it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] egzthunder1:
To all of you asking for the 10% sudden drop... this is common to all roms and all kernels that are not SBC. What the SBC kernels allow is for the device to actually charge the battery to 100%. It's been said that it is dangerous to use one of these as the drop is a purposely done protection to keep the battery from overcharging, thus reducing battery life cycle.

Spare Parts for wakelock

Hi,

Is there a thread on this issue? My phone is reporting 23 minutes for partial wakelock with facebook. What am I looking for and how should I fix this? Im about 12 hours in and 63% battery life after my 1st cycle using cm7 stable
[EVO 4G Accessories] Agent240913:
I just ordered mine today and should have it by Friday...Got tired of keeping my phone on a charger just becuase the lame battery it comes with cant handle heavy useage. I hope this works out...ill also post back once i get a good full charge with it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Coolkid012:
Seeing some of these deals make me mad I bought my extended battery from Sprint haha damn
[EVO 4G Accessories] nickb519:
Thanks for that answer. That is good info and I am not as worried about that drop in power.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Agent240913:
I just recived my battery and case from Amazon...it came with '85%' charged ima let it charge fully then let you guys know if its good. The feel of the bulkyness feels good i gotta say...it feels very solid in your hand.

Ill be back later to post the results

Sent from my Steroid Evolution! >) ™

Update;

I've had the battery for about 4 hours now i charged it for about an hour and the battery is doing amazing. I plan not to charge until i get home (I'm at work now) use it at full force to see how much it could handle before it dies.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mark925:
Got my extended battery from Amazon yesterday ($9.77+shipping). It came halfway charged. I charged it completely and let it continue to sit on the charger for about 2 hours after it was at 100%....then wiped the battery stats. So far I have 7 hours and 50 minutes on the battery and is currently down to 61%. So far the use tonight as been light to moderate..... a little texting, a few phone calls, twitter, email and some web surfing. VERY happy with this so far....
[EVO 4G Accessories] toki999:
mine didn't work. it came precharged. however phone died battery showing at 80%. so i have charged overnight and it died on me after 20 min. of usage. it was still at 80%. i believe it's defective.

i'm returning it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] :
Just got mines today for $10 from an ebay link somewhere in here. Ir came halfway charged. Im gonna let my sbc kernel charge this suckee and get back to you guys.

[EVO 4G Accessories] keejung:
I bought two them in case one was bad.... the first one went into phone and was working great, then the evo shut off.... screen on button was unresponsive... so battery pulled and turned back on.. everything was fine.. then after it boots up died again.. screen omn and of button unresponsive.. checked the battery and was fully charged and this happened 5 times, pulled the battery and tried the oem one and everything was fine, tried the other 3500 and everything was fine... gotta send the broke one back and get a replacement...

suggestion is to buy 2 in case one is broke
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Got one on ebay great deal same price free ship. Sucker holds up nice I never use sbc kernels tho I don't like the fact that it can cause your battery to wear out at some point in time earlier then normal. Also too many people say it can spank your phone I don't see how tho since the only way for it to do so would be if your batt caught fire.

Battery's are sweet sucks tho to find a case for them I bought a LAZA case for mine and it looks like a CRAYOLA Crayon box lmao. Fugly and holster is hard to find.
[EVO 4G Accessories] keejung:
ok i need suggestions... i have 2 of hese bateries, battery "a" and "b", battery a when fully charged crashes my phone if i put it in and then power on... if i let it die a little bit then it is fine... any suggestions, im not useing sbc and i charged this battery witha seido external charger and then powered off my phone and put the battery in.. oh yeah cm 7.02.2, and sz 2.1.0 cfs with sbf off ,and hardware 4

[EVO 4G Accessories] sucioh:
well got my battery and case.

reset the battery stats charged it with the phone off ...battery lasted all day from 8am till about 930pm before I plugged it in at 7%

day 2 I didn't see the same results. today is day 3 everything seems to be working as expected.

currently at 79% been on Facebook and what not since around 10am
[EVO 4G Accessories] ghostyroasty:
Anyone have easy solution to cover the lens? Just got the battery and switching from my ballistic case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] life:
this is the battery i have got, i also bought the cheaper one for 12.48$ and it did not work, so i turned around and got this one, and by far a better battery, i get 40 hours or more daily with ths battery and low to moderate use,

i run decks 2.3.4 1.2u rom with the godmode kernel. and i also do a battery calibration which will keep my battery at 100% for at least 2 hours after unplugging charge cable and no sbc.

odd smell

has anyone noticed an odd smell from their extended battery? I got this battery back when this thread first started and today I was switching out my microSD card and i noticed my battery has like a smell to it? I'm not sure how to describe, but there is a smell there... anyone else have a smell too? and how would you describe it?:confused:
[EVO 4G Accessories] magicalsleeper:
Ok, I'm worried now and would like to know more about this because I don't like it when my phone has a stranger smell than I do.

EDIT: ordered yesterday and got mine today (I love having amazon prime and living up the road from 2 distribution centers) no odors except the one from the delivery man.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pharmteckCA:
Did you poop your self and blaming it on the phone
[EVO 4G Accessories] tonyh703:
I ordered the Seido 3500mAh a few months ago, I am loving it. With sprint lovers ROM I could go 2+ days. With the newer Sense 2.1/3.0 ROMs I still do not have to worry about charging my battery at night. definitely a good buy.

I did not notice any weird smells or anything, and getting used to the extra fat wasnt that bad, actually fits really well.

edit: to the guy that is having his phone crash, did you follow the directions that came with the battery? I would recommend giving it a full charge while plugged into the phone to see if you get the same results.

Some roms dont work with 3.0 of clock work. For example I know some of Calkulin's EviO stuff does not work with the new clockwork. Download ROM manager and get one of the older versions. Hope this helps.

I use Amon-RA 2.3 and haven't had any issues installing roms. Currently running cm7 nightly 31, new savaged zen 1.01 kernel (fixed slow usb transfer issue), everything is flashing well. I don't use rom manager though, maybe that's the issue. I just do it through the recovery.

I am trying to do a hard reset on my Droid X as something gets it stuck on the Eye during bootup and it just stays on the screen.

I did the hold power and home to get the exclamation point with the Android figure, but when I hit the search hard key, nothing happens, and my understanding is that it is suppose to bring up a menu that allows me to choose to factory wipe it.

Anyone seen this before? I am on the non-rooted leaked Gingerbread rom.
[Droid X General] snwagner:
When you get to the exclamation point again, push the volume up and down key at the same time. That will bring up the menu. then do a wipe data/factory reset (3 or 4 times is recommended)
