so sounds like everyone who bought 3000mAh is getting great battery life out it, if not so please post here, this is huge and important news, 15~20 bucks for almost 50%~80% increase in battery life is significant. I want to spread the word and make it official that these 3000mAh batteries off of eBay are the real deal, since there is so much misinformation on them. Please contribute!

Got my 2600 from Ebay and its amazing. I can definetly go 2 days with moderate usage. And the back is nice and not ugly like the silly lump on the sideio one. Flows nice. My only question is there a case that can fit on this. I hate not having a case. The skin case i have almost fits on this since its so thin but just not quite. I tried modding a skin case but no luck.
[EVO 4G Accessories] johnnychimpo:
What was your charge/ discharge rate when you cycled your battery? 2900 is exceptional!
[EVO 4G Accessories] DraginMagik:
i ordered the 3000mah pack from pro.pal ... will post my results.
[EVO 4G Accessories] KyleK29:
Mind posting the seller? This way we can weed out any potential fakes.
[EVO 4G Accessories] johnnychimpo:
Sellers name is tuttoit. He refunded my money.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Travyevo:
Not very impressed with my 3000 battery. I have not run it down all of the way yet, but on my 3rd charge I am at 50% after just under six hours. Not sure if it will stabilize but considering how lightly I have used the phone today, I doubt it. I will probably buy the seido this coming week.
[EVO 4G Accessories] johnnychimpo:
not one charge discharge cycle on this 2700 battery has gone over 2200mah. usually shy of 2k. I have around 20 or so cycles
[EVO 4G Accessories] BrianDigital:
you should let it run all the way down, dont worry the phone shuts off around 3% and give it a full charge afterwards of course
[EVO 4G Accessories] skydeaner:
My 3000mah battery was purchased from Pro.pal on ebay.

The discharge rate and everything i dont know. I had my brother-in-law do it for me. He is big into LI-PO RC and Nitro stuff too so i knew he would know what he was doin.

Really i got a couple of days without recharging sometimes now. On days that i heavily use my video camera like today, going to the park and everything with my kids i didn't even have to charge it in the car and still have 30 percent left. I recorded over 700mb of video :)

The videos on the new update look frickin spectacular. Iphone quality definitely. I'm almost completely satisfied if they would work out the low light issues on it now, but now i'm getting offtopic lol

Get batteries from this guy though PRO.PAL seems good. I also ordered a 2700mah one just to test for you guys from 101_CEO. I will have my brother-inlaw test it as well and let you all know.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Travyevo:
I'll give it another day or so. I notice that the first 10 percent drops within 30 mins. It's crazy because my stock battery lasts longer than the one I have.

We'll see what happens.
[EVO 4G Accessories] MSmith1:
What was the name of the seller that you bought this battery from?
[EVO 4G Accessories] BrianDigital:
add another one to the "I just got it"
[EVO 4G Accessories] skydeaner:
Already posted that it was "Pro.Pal"

I took the hong kong plunge lol. Figured wtf. I got 2 covers, 2 3000mah batteries, and a wall charger for $22.99 free shipping. I wanted the seidio but I am gonna give this a try first. Let you know the results when I receive them. Great feedback on seller too. The ebay seller is shoppinghome99.
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
omg thas geigh!

i have the seidio and just ordered the ebay jumpoffs

glad they are uber cheap...lol

no way to mod it?

Does anyone know if these extended batteries will charge in the wall charger that comes with the cheap 1500 mah batteries on ebay?

this has been pretty good for me so far, lasted a whole day in which i happen play homerun 3D battle quite often

whats the link?
[EVO 4G Accessories] TickLe MY eLMo:
Not going to lie, I'm glad that I got extra(super cheap) 1500mah batteries, i think these extended batteries really just aren't worth it unless you literally use your phone CONSTANTLY. I like mine better because i can easily just carry one in my wallet, pop it out if i need it(on occasion, especially when i'm not at home), but don't that often since i have a car charger.

So lazy that you can't look the person up yourself? come on man ;).

I got my 3000mah battery last Friday and so far I'm happy with it. I got mine from seller rundacom09 on ebay.

I might post some screen shots in SystemPanel of battery life. Ill stream orb with all the radios on and see how long it lasts. Ill do the same with the stock battery. I think I'm going to cycle the battery a few more times first.
[EVO 4G Accessories] evoguyfhp:
cool thank you!

Been using my 2700 Maj for over a week now. I love it this is what I would want my phone to come with
[EVO 4G Accessories] evoguyfhp:
just ordered 2x 3000 and the back case! cant wait!
[EVO 4G Accessories] BrianDigital:
just make sure to let these guys drain all the way for acouple of days
[EVO 4G Accessories] evoguyfhp:
will do :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] skydeaner:
Well my 2700 never arrived for me to test against the stock and the 3000. Sorry guys if he sends it I will let you know the mah it accepts.

My fat battery :P

Here are my pics :P of the 2200 from flea bay
[EVO 4G Accessories] johnnychimpo:
looks just like the 2700mah.
[EVO 4G Accessories] i.am.generic:
I got the 3000 on Monday, have cycled it through a few times, seems to be running like a champ. Used to get 10-12 hrs normal use, now I can go 24 hrs before recharging (of course, that includes nighttime, when the phone isn't used very much!).

I run Good for Enterprise, which means that my phone is *always* awake (unless your company requires you to carry the software, I do NOT recommend it). Try to be fairly conservative with the phone, but I got it to use it, and this battery lets me do just that!

I cannot say if it's anywhere near the advertised 3000, but it's certainly working for me. Purchased from rundacom09. Sorry, mods won't let me post the link, I'm too new; please search for description "New 3000mAh Extended Battery+Charger For Sprint EVO 4G" in eBay for the item if you're interested.

My experience is that the case is a great fit, but doesn't appear that the clips have as much give as the original back; I don't plan on removing it unless absolutely necessary. Also keeps the camera lens off the table without using a case, another reason why I wanted this one. My battery is labeled for HTC Incredible, but as far as I know, they're all the same anyway. Seller has updated photo, so they're probably using HTC EVO labels now. :) The wall charger also works on the 1500 battery.

Bottom line: significant improvement over the 1500, better back (for me), great price, anticipate 2 weeks shipping to the states (but free shipping!). YMMV, but I love it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pongoface:
Got my 3000mah from shoppinghome99 on ebay. Wow fast shipping from hong kong like 5 days ago. Time for test runs.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mayonesa:
i got one of these too... the cover for this is a pain to take off... i havent used it since i have an sedio active case with the holseter.. i also have the rugged on its way..

i got this cause it was cheap and if i ever take a long trip i have a good backup... i also have an extra 1800 mah( i think thats the size) for the normal everyday emergency. i do carry that one with me at all times.

so i have my backups... lol
[EVO 4G Accessories] pongoface:
All i can say about the 3000mah i got from shoppinghome99 on ebay is wow. Tons better than stock battery. I am going to have fun trying to deplete it lol.
[EVO 4G Accessories] johnnychimpo:
Be careful taking off the cover by sliding your finger nail to release the latches. If you dont, and just pull, they red retainers inside your phone could break off.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
I am using my 3000mAh eBay back cover with my Seidio 3500mAh battery. Yes there is a very small gap but nothing that heating up the back cover via boiling it in water didn't fix. Very happy.
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
do tell.... care to elaborate?
[EVO 4G Accessories] :
Just ordered the 3000ma battery from shoppinghome99

Will report back in a month, usually takes them forever. Though I do wonder how they make any profit with just 11.89.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
Eh ok take the ebay battery cover and place in boiling water on the stove. Allow to boil for about 10-15min take out dab dry and install cover. While cover is hot it pliable. The only small gap on mine was around the connections so it was really simple.
[EVO 4G Accessories] DraginMagik:
My 3000mah battery was purchased from Pro.pal on ebay.

no sound quality issue that i can hear. speaker is as loud as clear as with original.

yeah, on my device the clip closest to the speaker is a pain. it was the same with the stock cover until it got removed a time or two. just move it slowly and carefully.

overall:

fit and finish are remarkable for a $11 item that shipped 1/2 around the world in a week. and it even got to me with 85% charge. that made my impatient innerchild happy. i will be testing the battery this week.
[EVO 4G Accessories] KyleK29:
This is who I ordered from. Got here pretty quick as well. I'm cycling it now. So far so good.

I will say that my idea to cut a case to fit around the "bump" worked pretty good. I gotta clean it up, but I'll post pictures. I used a TPU case for the flexibility (and thereby easier cutting) yet ability to retain shape. Figured if I drop my phone on the back, I'd rather have a non-original $11 cover and battery take the impact than have to go completely caseless.
[EVO 4G Accessories] johnnychimpo:
Ordered a 3k as well. It got here yesterday. Comparing against the 2.7k

[EVO 4G Accessories] MSmith1:
How are you guys charging this battery to true 100 in the Evo? Im using the seidio and the light turns green on the Evo at around 70%. If I keep it in longer it still never gets to true 100. It will just do the Evo non trickle charge thing. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Accessories] KyleK29:
That would explain why mine never got fully charged overnight.
[EVO 4G Accessories] chandlerw88:
I ordered a 3500 mah for 9.99 including shipping, I read in a thread that these batteries are dangerous. The over I bought is from china, hows the quality of these batteries. Should I be worried.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pongoface:
Results please
[EVO 4G Accessories] chandlerw88:
Have you tried charging with power off, then doing top off trick
[EVO 4G Accessories] johnnychimpo:
On the second full discharge it only drained 1997mah. Not even close to a 3k battery yet. I'm charging the battery with a wall charger at half an amp. Draining it at .7 amp rate with a digital dis/charger on my rc charger.

Sent from my EVO
[EVO 4G Accessories] Systemfraud:
Dangerous? How? If they're dangerous I'd probably not get one..although I really would like to get one.. I'm a battery whore and hate seeing 1% drop down so quickly, coming from a phone where even after two hours it had only lost about 2%, even if this is not the case with a 3500 mAH I'd still be more happy with it than how it currently is.. and damn, 9.99 for a 3500, where!?!?
[EVO 4G Accessories] johnnychimpo:
3k batt only about 1997 mah so far. Not close to 3k.

Awesome, thanks bro. I just won a bid from him! 50¢ was my bid. $11 shipping though. Still awesome, thanks!
[EVO 4G Accessories] rdzlyz:
i just bought mine im going to see whats up when it comes, i guess i have to cut my old silicone case for this badboy i hope it will fit
[EVO 4G Accessories] chandlerw88:
I got one of those free stealth guards, thinkin about stretchin it as much as I can. Its already pretty bulky.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Systemfraud:
Will the cover they send not fit or something?
[EVO 4G Accessories] rdzlyz:
Yes it can be pretty bulky that's why I bought a different case when I got that bulky little thing
[EVO 4G Accessories] chandlerw88:
Yeah it will for sure, check out the pics in op, exact same battery
[EVO 4G Accessories] :
That's not goood....
[EVO 4G Accessories] johnnychimpo:
Nope, and i contacted the seller and sent them my test results and they said the battery is in fact a 2800mah pack. BS. Its probably a 2k pack IMO. No worth the bulk.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Systemfraud:
So what's the verdict with these sellers? Some have amazing results and some don't...sedio is clearly the way to go if you have that kind of money but if these Hong Kong batteries are good then they're the way to go..so confusing!
[EVO 4G Accessories] chandlerw88:
Yeah I think these honk king batteries are just temporary fixes, I might have to just buckle down and get a seidio. 80% extra life sounds too good
[EVO 4G Accessories] Systemfraud:
**** is so expensive though..but I guess you get what you pay for, right? Hah.

[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
lol that sold out quick!
[EVO 4G Accessories] accelerus:
been looking into getting an extended battery for a few days, from everything I can tell for my application the whole way the Evo charges itself via USB is bull****.

I flat refuse to take an exended battery out of the case every time and charge via the wall unit to get a true 100%.

Not to sound like a snob but when I want to charge something, I simply want to plug it in and have it do it's thing. I don't want to have to monitor for a green light, unplug, run it down for 5 minutes, and then plug it back in to get it to finish charging the last 40% of the batter (assuming Seido 3500mAh here)

Until a fix can be done so I can plug in an extended battery via the phone and get a full no hassle charge, I'll stick with my OEM battery.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SouthernEvo:
I somewhat have to agree with this statement . I got the seidio 1750 battery and expierence a similar issue . I plug it in to charge and it will charge up to 90% and sit there charging nonstop and not go any farther. Im on stock Froyo . Sorry but HTC should have anticipated the fact that people were gonna want extended batteries in these phones and should have made the charging system more adaptive for that situation . Hell the fact that HTC still hasnt released an extended battery themselves shocks the hell out of me . Granted battery life on the stock isnt to bad for my use of the phone but I still wouldnt mind having alittle extra gas in the tank for those times when I might need to use gps or some other function . Overall I love the EVO I seriously do , I just feel HTC could have handled this alittle better then they have . But then again this is my first android/HTC phone so my opinion might not mean much just my general feeling so far .

[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
how are yall seeing those percentages?

my badget widget reads it at 100% ?? but of course soon as i d/c rapid drain
[EVO 4G Accessories] chandlerw88:
Also I hear that the evo can't read the temp of the batteries, is there a fix for this because I'm over clockin and Id hate to blow my phone and face off
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
afaik it can read temps or maybe that is spoofed by widgets and programs too?
[EVO 4G Accessories] chandlerw88:
Yeah that's weak, I wonder what it is
[EVO 4G Accessories] Biofall:
Um, the evo comes fully equipt to accurately read temperatures.. SetCPU and batteryindicator pro give perfectly correct temp readings
[EVO 4G Accessories] johnnychimpo:
Roger. Some batteries like the ones above do not display the temp correctly or at all. The 1800mah Galilio ones show 75f constantly

Sent from my EVO
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
yea im noticing that once the battery temp is ****ed up in the ebay batteries, they seem to be ****ed!

aka it will shut down the evo soon as you put them in to boot up
[EVO 4G Accessories] potna:
I'm glad you guys reported back with your findings.i almost bought one of these cheap extended sets, but thought I'd check back here one more time.thank fullly I did.

Perhaps I'll go with one of those 2 batteries and charger kit.

If there only was a fix for the charging problem one stock oem would just be enough to last one entire day.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mayonesa:
yeah same thing happened to me... other than that the batt did a good job.. i used it for several days testing it and it worked like the stock batt....

i now have the 1800mah as the back up i carry with me every day and i also have a 3000mah that i have for a long trip as an EXTRA EXTRA backup.

i just emailed a seller on ebay to see if they will ship on my fedex employee account number priority overnight

waiting to hear back
[EVO 4G Accessories] r.mauldin:
I bought one of the 3000mah Hongkong ebay specials and it was not worth the $12 I paid for it. Battery life was only slightly more than my stock battery. Not worth the bulk and no case for protection.

I bought it from: wenyong1008
[EVO 4G Accessories] chandlerw88:
How were you charging it
[EVO 4G Accessories] r.mauldin:
In my phone? I do not have an external charger. Is that required?
[EVO 4G Accessories] chandlerw88:
No its not required but you might not be getting best results because the battery isn't being charged all the way. You have to drain battery fully, charger completely on off, top off trick then wipe battery stats. Then when you charge after that keep it on charger a couple hours after light turns green to make sure your battery is being charged fully. You might also have to charge off. Someone correct me if I missed something.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Systemfraud:
Can someone list a step-by-step charge method? :D I'd like to do it properly so I get the best results.. I'm confused by what you said for some reason, sorry.
[EVO 4G Accessories] r.mauldin:
your not alone. :confused:
[EVO 4G Accessories] skydeaner:
Lol at this

What he meant to type was:

No, It is not required, but you might not be getting the best results because the battery isn't being charged completely. What you should do is:

Drain the battery fully

Turn the phone off and charge completely

"Do the top off trick" which means, Unplug the phone from the charger and turn it on, turn it back off and plug it back in and charge again, repeat this again.

Then, reset the battery info and use it as normal.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Systemfraud:
Thanks for clearing that up, I'm gonna try this when my battery gets here. Anyone know who sells the RC chargers?
[EVO 4G Accessories] evoguyfhp:
got my battery today drained it now doing the thing that was mentioned above lol
[EVO 4G Accessories] chandlerw88:
Haha thanks for helpin translate..

Also on the top off trick wait til led light turns green. Unplug. Wait til led turns off. Turn off phone. Plug phone in til light turns green. Unplug til light turns off. Then repeat steps. Sorry swyping makes me lazy

[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Question. Just bought a 2700 mah battery and the new back from my local Sprint store, which is identical to the op's pics. Love it so far, battery life is awesome!! I've had it on since 6 this morn ran Pandora for 9 hrs straight, and also throughout the day, I've done a ton of surfing, mailing, texting, and talking. Even ran glympse for about an hour too. Here it is, 11 hrs later, and I'm at 9% left after all of that. My other battery would have been dead after about 6 hours. Anyways, my question is, does anyone know where I can get a case to fit my phone now. If not, gonna take the battery back this weekend, as much as I don't want too but I have to have my phone in a case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Systemfraud:
I personally am not sure, try asking in the q&a section or even the accessories thread.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Gotcha, I was gonna do that, but I figured since it was already posted here, and from his pics, I have the the exact same back now as the op has, so thought it'd be better to ask here instead of creating another almost identical post.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Systemfraud:
Just got my 3500 in the mail, trying to drain the battery now then fully charge it. Will post back with results.
[EVO 4G Accessories] chandlerw88:
I've had mine for 3 days, yesterday I got dang near 14 hours on moderate to heavy usage. Used for my fantasy draft to look up stats and schedules for a good 3 hrs. Usually id be dead by the end of it
[EVO 4G Accessories] Systemfraud:
I'm using mine straight out of the box, and it's still running like a beast. definitely a huge improvement over the stock battery and I haven't even charged this baby all the way!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Systemfraud:
When I charge it after the battery is dead do I have to leave the phone off or can I charge it while it's on?

Not the battery. You never charged it to 100. The evo can't charger the battery to 100 in the phone.
