This isnt a detailed review. But this seller is excellent. I got it 3 days after i ordered. My stock battery i got 6-8 hours of life. Heavy usage i get at least 16, light usage not sure b/c i charge at night. So if you guys are looking a few extra bucks will ensure you get one asap. Cover fits great and battery is great. Here is a link. He actually posts here and i will be buying more of these for my family/friends. Im doing this b/c i ordered a mzmshop battery jan 3rd and just got it yesterday feb 7th. I thought it was lost in the mail so i ordered this one and received it quickly. So I am telling everyone that the extra couple bucks to insure you have it in a few days is worth it to me.

Aww thanks so much for the great review!! I appreciate it! Glad it worked out well for you!
Same seller that I got mine from, fast shipping and no one month wait. Battery cover, while a little more flimsy than stock fits super tight and battery seems to last longer each day...

Good review. I'll consider this if i get tired of switching between 2 batteries. Are there after market cases that will fit over it?
There is a case on ebay now for the extended battery but the reviews and feedback I've read state it isn't very good especially with the volume control cutout not matching up.
For some reason the cases are soooo slow to come into production. The Chinese can rip a movie and start selling bootlegs in 3 days but want to tinker around for 3 years to start making even a silicone case! #endsarcasm
i was planning to buy the Seidio extended but found out about this sale & decided to buy it.
That is a great price. I got mine for around $41 after tax. That's with a 25% discount. When did you buy it?

I bought the ext. battery a few months ago, but just started using it regularly last week. Witht he Seidio ext. cover and case, the phone is a brick, but I love it. Ext battery lasts me easily all day with heavy use.
the thunderbolt is a bust.. It needs to look like a freaking brick and to feel like one in order to function like it should out of the box.
It would be nicer if it didn't have the hype going in.. this phone is really all hype, as there are many phones already better then this phone in a short time span, without nearly half as much hype.
bust

get laid noob
hahaha, start a thread slamming the TB and go on every post to complaint. think you are the noob here. i am totally happy with it, i get 10+hrs easy on a custom rom, if that was/is your complaint.
well, you could always get a different phone...and i am sure you will find faults with it.
i am happy with the dev's working on the TB and putting out amazing ROM's. think you shoudl try them out before starting up.
I agree. The extended battery works great for me. It's not as bad as some people make it seem. I for sure don't think its a "bust". Pros outweigh the cons for me.

I got the HTC extrended battery & cover from my local Verizon store about two weeks ago for ~$40 after tax due to my company discount. It is so nice not to have to worry about how much I surf the net, text or talk on the phone. Even after 12 hours of moderate use my battery averages ~50%, which is not too shabby.
I also bought the Seidio Active Extended case, but was not too impressed with the plastic kickstand and overall bulk. Believe it or not, I ended up using the High Gloss Silicone Cover for Extended Battery case that I purchased for ~$15 at the Verizon store. Though using the power/volume buttons was a little tough until the case was broken-in, it just feels less bulky and seems to offer better protection than the Seidio case (IMHO).
Got my extended 2 months ago and couldn't be happier. I went in the Verizon store complaining about battery life and how I can't use this phone anymore and they gave me the battery for $20 to shut me up Lol
Other Options
If you don't want to get an extended battery but you want some extended time there are some good deals on batteries on amazon. I saw on there you can get 2 regular 1400 mah batteries plus a wall charger for the batteries for $20. All the reviews seemed positive too. It's really just another option, and cheaper too.
Is it still on sale I need it bad!!
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Do it. It bulky no question, but the added bulk actually makes it easier to hold. And I use the pi** out of my phone and it lasts from 6:30am until the following morning without touching a charger. I'm running chingy's 3d...but I suspect it would do that on just about on any custom ROM.

agreed, bought that deal, plus an extra battery charger for about 5 bucks so I have 2 batteries always ready to go.
What are you doing to make your battery drain so fast? I use my phone on AO5PTH3ORY with cooked in kernal and I am getting about 10 hours + when usage steady all day, on WiFi 3g/4g, email, text, internet. Try to flash a different radio if you are rooted for better signal (that worked for my cell phone standby drainage) or flash a different kernal (try dream kernel I hear great things)

I got 2 batteries off Ebay with an external wall charger for less than 10 bucks, and if you want to pay 5 bucks more you can get 3 batteries. Once I flashed to AOSP Rom I have not needed my extra batteries I have been unplugged for 7 hours with moderate use and I am still at 77%

Site with 1900mah Batteries Bundle of 3 for $12, Must buy a min of 3 pieces.

mind letting us know how it performs compared to stock after you burn it in for a few days? i'm imagine the 1900mah rating it has isn't what its cracked up to be but if it still ends up performing better regardless, i might pick up a few

I put the 1st battery in dismorning Charged it up to 100% it was at about 86% when I put it in. I've been on battery for 3h 48m and I'm at 75% battery left. Been doing a lot of wifi, texting, and calling today since I finally got my HS Diploma. So I've been blowing up the phone a bit on the new battery lol. I can ensure once it burns in about 4 charges in, I' should get just a hour or 2 more over stock battery. The batteries do charge fast as I hear from others, and the battery is a tad bit lighter in weight.
Sweet.. two questions
Only way to charge is in phone, yes?
You ordered with China Post Air mail and it got there in only two weeks?? Not bad...

Nice to see that the offer is real. I placed an order for the same thing two days ago, and it still says "The supplier is processing your order"...how long did it take for them to ship it out?

It took 2 Days. You should receive them within 2 weeks.
Edit: After all we are nearing Christmas. The Supplier could be backed up with other orders and just didn't get to you yet.
Yup. Supplier shipped the order. I know it's gonna be a while before they come, but I don't mind waiting. A good deal is a good deal.

Amazon doesn't have these batteries. They have other cheaper batteries all had bad reviews and all batteries come from hong Kong. After looking around I just said no thanks. Batteries are holding up nice by the way and work great.

They are all the same thing with different stickers. I've got about a dozen different batteries for my infuse from different sources. The ones on amazon have been very satisfactory, especially when comparing shipping times/costs (I have prime). Amazon carries the best replacement batteries for the infuse, as well as the widest variety, and most have very good reviews. Go check again.

I get an average of 5 more hours with the extended battery, after clearing batt stats, etc.
the battery says "replacement for SAM infuse 4g /i997 3.7VDC, 3500mAh"
I am most definitly going to order this battery. I just switched over from the iPhone 4, and this battery ia not nearly as good. So i orderd 2 replacement batteries off of eBay, which I most likely will return now after reading this.
I will give my feedback after I recieve the new battery.

Omg thank you for this. I've been looking for this forever!
Eating Kitty's in my Skyrocket fueled by CM9
i actually bought the powerskin and it comes in handy but a few flaws with it is with it on and using the phone to talk people have a hard time hearing you cause of the case around the microphone. and if u work in a warehouse at all it cuts down reception to all hell but from a full charge of the powerskin it boosts my battery back up to 40-45% while im still using the phone as a media player hope it helps
Powerskin sucks. it doesn't allow the phone to sleep, they break all the time, phone is always hot. Don't get the powerskin
Awe okay

I went thru 3 in as many months. Awesome idea, but poorly made. AT&T finally just gave me my money back. Check out the reviews on Amazon. They're not really good.

This is the same model I had. I really don't recommend it. Although, it was perfect when it worked.

I agree with the others here. PowerSkin sucks, mine worked for 30 days. And they would not replace it. buy a spare battery.
Hey guys! I see it has been awhile since anyone posted on the accessories for this phone... I just wanted to share something that I found was really helpful and awesome!
It's called PowerSkin. It's a case that you put on your phone, and has an external battery on it. What is nice about it, is that it doesn't take up too much pocket space! It is pretty slim, and makes it easy to carry around, despite it having an extra battery on it. I bought my power skin about 2 months ago from Amazon, and it is probably the best accessory I have ever bought for it! When I first got it, it stopped working after about 2 weeks because the charging port would not connect properly to a cable. But when I contacted customer service, they responded the same day, and sent me a new one for free! They didn't have me pay for any shipping, or even send the old one back. It just got here within 2 days, and I'm using my new one now!
As for performance, it has significantly increased my battery life! I'm running on my original battery, which has gone down to only 6 hours of charge, (that's when I use it quite a bit) but has gone up to nearly 22 hours because of this case! I can't imagine how long this could go with the Galaxy Nexus battery!
And the best news of all, is that instead of being around $45 when it first released, I bought it for under $20! This is a great buy, & I recommend it to anyone! I would suggest going with Amazon, because that is where I found the best customer service!
I hope this helps!

I have it, it makes the phone twice as thick, and i find it uneasy in my pocket. I have it in my bag and only use it when i really need to. ibdo recommend it but not of you have your phone in your pocket if you want it with the case on it.
When I had the blaze I used this as emergency backup battery. I found it to be bulky and sometimes got hot while charging . glad its working for you
