The battery is $80 on their website... No ebay auctions for the battery for less than $100... IMO if I'm going to spend more than about $50 on the battery it's not worth it. I'll just keep looking I guess.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mn3kgtvr4:
Bummer, just got mine last week for cheap. Maybe inventory is low.
[Motorola Atrix HD] THEmproper:
Not sure why this wasn't popping up on any of my searches before, but I found the dealer you got your phone from, $45 shipped, I can do that. It's on ebay. Don't search for "EB40 battery" as I was, search for "razr maxx battery". I would put a link to the auction but I don't have 10 posts yet which apparently is required to post outside links.

So my phone suffered a pretty good fall yesterday and I woke up today and it didn't work. Went back to my eb20 and it works fine. So I broke my battery lol
[Motorola Atrix HD] marcusxv3:
Hello,

i stay in South Africa, so since the battery were hard to find on ebay, i have ordered mine from a local cellphone repair shop. They claim that they order it directly from verizon in the US, and that i will have to pay 400 ZAR ( a lil less than 50 USdollars) for it.

Thought this info could be helpful, i reckon it might be possible to get one directly from verizon if ur in the US, and probably for even less :p.

i have my 1amps motorola genuine charger that came with my atrix 4g back then ...

Do you think it will still try to recharge the battery too fast ?

Do you suggest using a genuine motorola atrix charger or a the original Atrix HD proper charger ?

Huge thanks as i will look for car charger too and i dont know wich on to buy ;) (as i already had one for the atrix 4g)

Wow seriously thanks smogtdi for your shared treasure ! (t hot en calvaire man :P)

And thanks to shanguai and sirhoover and few others i dont remimber (sorry, i did read the whole thread but this is a lot to remember ;) ) for sharing clear instructions and update on their experiences, so that way i finnaly ordered mine ;)

Just got mine today :D was so happy (that kind of happiness that you just can wait for your work day to be done with... to finnalty go home) and just did the upgrade !

Now the fact

As everyone said : Easy mod ! take your time and everything will be evident and clear

I did it the full way (removing the black inside battery case that contain cam and speaker )

Did the cutting

Did put the inner cover back on

Screwed them together again and tried the loud speaker to be sure everything is fine : booted and tried a song... Guess ?! : Everything is perfect

put back the flexible back case

Can notice a very tinny little bulge over the sim card/micro sd (about 1/8 of a millimeter)

Can notice a larger bulge around the power button (maybe an half millimeter)

Can't see anything else weird other than that

I Also love the way it add a little bit more weight

-->-->Should i order the proper battery tape and reopen the case just to securely fix the battery ?

Now my battery started from 49% and it is at 47% without any calibration ( i will drain the battery first)with 9 apps updated from the market with an appro size of 15mb each over wifi giving me an 23 minutes of screen on from the first boot with the battery on :D :D

(do you suggest charging it completely with power off state or it doesnt really matter as long as i reboot and hit calibrate, then remove the cable from the phone after a full reboot ??)

With the eb20 it would already from 49 to at like 41 soo ... too soon to speak, but it seems to be much stronger now :)

Thanks everyone again for sharing their results

[Motorola Atrix HD] sathelate:
Thanks :) ---> it is normal that i have 4313mA at max while my atrix was having a max of 4203 ?

To youngunn : and do you have a link of a online seller that have that item ? (ebay or amazon maybe)
[Motorola Atrix HD] Neroga:
If you mean volts then it's not really a problem. The EB40 displays 3200mAh but it's actually a 3300mAh battery. Basically, it'll hang for a bit on 1% before it dies. Had the same thing happen to the extended battery I bought for my Atrix 4G.

how much price is this battery !?

and is it easy to changed ?

can look at me link for sell in ebay.com
[Motorola Atrix HD] sathelate:
> There on ebay

Actually i bought mine on cellular Dr since lots of people on this thread was suspecting bad sellers on most knowed site like ebay

I bought it there and everything was perfectly protected during shipping inside 2 bags and a box

Here you can fin it

There you go ! now you know the average price

The mod is very easy to do as long as you have the proper tool, just remember to remain calm and patient and you will easely figure out as soon as you open the case ;)

Good luck :) Its REALLY worth it ! i will post my summary after a 2 week of using this weekend :)

So I did the eb40 mod like 3 weeks ago. Couldn't be happier with battery life. My eb20 got around 3 hours if screen time before it died (I think its ,not working right)

I took apart the black frame and cut the black plastic strip on top. Didn't have issues with speakers or anything.

I like the added weight but don't like that the back cover is slightly lifted by the sim card door. No swelling either...

Thanks to all the people who posted how to do this mod.

I'm highly curious, anyone try the EB40 mod while using powerskin battery case? 4800maH battery possible apparently. If so any problems? I ordered the EB40 and am using the powerskin (came with the phone when I got it). I'm stuck on unrooted jellybean but to me a phone with these specs and otherworldly battery life seems as a fair trade off to me.

Thanks.

First day after mod with trying to make it die.
[Motorola Atrix HD] samhain82:
Not to alarm anyone. But I've had an incident occur with my phone after having the EB40 in my phone. Not sure if it is directly related to having the battery in the phone. But thought I'd share, anyways. The other day I turned my phone on in the AM like I do everyday. For some reason, the phone wasn't holding a signal like normal. The phone was getting a tier lower, signal wise, than I'd normally get at certain spots. For example. At my apartment, I normally get LTE. It was at 4G. And every spot I typically got 4G at, it'd be in 3G or GPRS. And any time I tried sending a text or calling out, it would put the phone in Emergency Calls Only mode. So, needless to say, I think the cramped space of having the battery in th phone, caused something on the phones board to maybe short out from heat. But it also ould just be a bad phone. Only had it for a month and a half, though. So I may hold off on putting it into my replacement phone. As much as I love the extra battery :(

[Motorola Atrix HD] darknessrise1234:
I cut the piece that had the white sticker on it only. Had no problems until recently.
[Motorola Atrix HD] bennyreyes715:
So I tested this without the power skin just to see what I could pull off just the eb40. I'm damn impressed. 1 day, 21 hrs, 40m on eb40 with screen time at 38% with 8hrs, 24m, 49s (heavy to moderate use) before finally shutting off. I'm using golden rom. I've never made it to 5 hrs screen on time with a phone before.
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
Very tempting since this very nice phone is somewhat crippled by not being able to make it though a day of moderate use, however It seems that in a phone this thin the way the battery fits and that layer of tape may be significant to heat dispersal. Does anyone have statistics indicating the # of people who have tried this and what percentage have had overheating issues - or have suggestions about how to conduct such a survey?
[Motorola Atrix HD] miko85:
I've never had a issue with heat and I peeled the tape off the factory battery and put it on the eb40 when I installed it
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
Thanks miko85. I saw that some folks did that with the tape and would not dream of doing otherwise. Though the methods and skills each person applies to this task would vary greatly, and poor work could be causing some of the bad results, I'd feel reassured by seeing a lot of attempts and low percentage of fails in a tidy chart. Dare to dream! Also phone is quite new so I'm stalling.

AW: The EB40 Battery mod (ghetto style Atrix HD MAXX)

I did the mod in october, also put the tape on the EB40 again, and still everything works perfect. I'm on golden rom, too, incredible battery life!
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
Didnt put the tape back on. Still running great.

sent from my JokerMATRIX HD MAXX
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
Didn't do the tape. Mine is just fine
[Motorola Atrix HD] yar2:
I did this mod about a month ago and it works perfectly. Still have 80%+ battery after a typical work day. And have not experienced any heat problems, even after heavy use. I use the INCIPIO case, which fits just fine after the mod.

I cut the plastic back at the top under the white tag. Can't imagine fitting the larger battery under the plastic. No wonder some have damaged the speaker. Cutting the plastic was not easy, particularly since I did not remove the frame. I ended up heating an exacto knife and melting through the plastic. Any better suggestions?

What is the tape people are referring to? I certainly didn't remove and replace any tape.

And what do you suppose the white tag is all about?
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
There should be a thin film of tape covering the entire surface between the battery and back cover. Maybe it never left your case cover? Also, it occurs to me that with this phone out for less than a year there just wont be long term statistics.Still, thanks to the helpful feedback here it's getting harder to wait. :).
[Motorola Atrix HD] DMANbluesfreak:
Just did this mod today. I tried to do it once without cutting the white part of the plastic, but the speaker didn't work. I cut the plastic and now the speaker works. I assume that the battery pulls the speaker away from its contacts since its thicker, but cutting the plastic allows it to touch well.

Excited to see more battery life!
[Motorola Atrix HD] mn3kgtvr4:
Yes, this mod is totally easy if you just step back once it's open, take a deep breath, and see how the new battery is going to fit being twice as thick. I just used an exacto knife to cleanly carve away the plastic piece that covers the top part of the battery enough so that piece slides past the corners of the battery and allows the frame to connect. Before you put it back together, make sure you haven't squished any of the spring-like connections at the top. If so, just spring them back up a bit so they'll make a solid connection when you snap the back on. This will solve any potential speaker issues. I doubt the tape is meant as any sort of heat sink or anything, just something that would make sense to tape down during the manufacturing process - also the back is a flexy piece of kevlar so it would help give the back a firm feel stuck to the battery like that. I easily peeled mine off the old battery and stuck it onto the new one. It's not going to make a difference either way. Get a battery, a torx driver, and get this done. It could not be easier. Once you see under the cover of this phone it all just makes simple sense.
[Motorola Atrix HD] LeGenDz R3DeaDz:
Hi I want to do this mod but am I going to loose my warranty ? And if I put back the E20?
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
Would be almost impossible to hide the fact that this was done and certainly would void warranty.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Dark9781:
I've done this mod twice because I had to warranty exchange my first Atrix HD. I had cut the plastic on the black frame. AT&T mailed me a replacement Atrix. What I did since I cut the black frame was took the cut one off the phone that was going back and put the frame from the replacement onto the phone I sent back. They'll never know the difference.

Interesting, even if I get double the battery life it would still be the poorest battery life I've ever had on a communication device. In this regard I think the industry has convinced us to accept wretchedly low levels of battery life as standard and think something only OK is great. I reckon that's just a matter of perspective, and double is double even if it is a sub-par quantity that has been doubled. Appreciate the encouragement though.
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
It lasts more then double. It easily makes it through a full 16 hour day.
