Just ordered this through Amazon.com. Anyone have any experience with this brand of battery? There weren't many reviews for this specific battery. Their other batteries had decent reviews. If nothing else I suppose it doesn't hurt to have a spare lol. I'll share my experience once I've had a chance to try it out.
usually non oem batteries are fraud but try it out and see if it works the way it says.
if it doesn't it would make a cool backup battery ill guess
edit: ill order it as well
Does it need a different back?

It says
-No extended battery door is required
Hopefully as they become available we can start testing aftermarket batteries like was done on the N1 ( and likely other phones )
I know myself and many others would love to have a legit 1800mah that fits the factory case
{Edit} just read the only review. seems to last about an hour longer. while that isnt much for the price and the fact it fits the case I think thats worth it.

I'm staying away... Check out the reviews on this link.. they are all by people who have either: 1 review (only on this product) or they have multiple reviews, all on the same brand battery......... It's a scam.
Lol yea i noticed. That i didn't. End up buying

Their other batteries had decent reviews because their employees are inflating the #s. I just did a review of the reviews... There is 1 person that reviewed 3 prodicell batteries on the same day, for 3 different phones... all 5 star reviews.
Then, you read the 1-2-3 star reviews... Those are normal people... with normal reviews... who are all getting boned.

Lol we'll find out soon enough. I'm a bit skeptical as I've gotten screwed with generic batteries before, but even if it doesn't perform quite as well as advertised, it sounds like it'll serve its purpose as a spare.

There's another thread about this battery in the Accessories section of the forum. Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096164
I just got my battery yesterday and I'll talk more about how it's working after I've used it for a few days. I'll be posting in that other thread, though, as there's no need for 2 threads about this battery's performance. It makes more sense to have it in the Accessories section anyway.
I would buy these before the one you posted.

I have used HTCExpress (Chichitec) on my Dinc and then modified it to work on the G2. I'd pick up this one over any aftermarket anyday.
Apparently this is pretty new, it's not even on htcexpress yet.
If OEMs have trouble producing or procuring a battery that lasts, what makes anyone confident that third party/aftermarket companies will do a better job and for cheaper to boot? Yeah right

Why spend so much on one battery
As long as you dont mind switching batteries atleast once a day hit up Ebay and get 2 or 3 batteries depends on your use, and an external wall charger for around 10 to 13 bucks. they are also slim and after conditioning they last as long as stock batteries.

wow, 41 bucks on amazon and just as many 1 star reviews as 5 stars. Think I'll stick to my aftermarket batteries on the cheap.
One of these would go perfect with the otterbox.
I know a lot of these batteries that are labeled on amazon and ebay are actually stock knockoffs labeled as 1750, but truly share the same capacity as the 1400. I haven't tried or talked to anyone that's tested this listing so it could be a true claim. Just a warning for people to keep in mind. A lot of guys on ebay are even selling 1750 extended batteries that arrive still using the 1400 mah labels.

I would normally agree and not post something like this but this was on the seidio site. Being as they could lie as much as anyone on eBay I thought this might be different since this is a company and not just some third party eBay seller. I'm just curious if this battery holds up to the claims.

I apoligize if I sounded like I was trying to be condescending. I would have totally made the same call you did with giving them the benefit of the doubt. It's a big company with a good reputation, and I wouldn't doubt them without proof.
My post was meant as a warning for the people that read the thread and head straight to ebay and buy the first 99 cent battery they can find, and then install it and start bashing a developer about battery life lol

I take it you use ghost armor or use it naked? Yeah, it does bulge but I use a case so I don't see it. I never actually needed longer battery life anyways, though. I grabbed it cuz it was $25 and now I have a spare. With oem battery mine lasts well over 24 hours with 5 hours of screen on time, auto brightness, emails, weather and everything else syncing. I would never run a cheapo battery though.
greekunit690 does the one you ordered require a different battery cover? Or is it just the same size? Samsung really should make an extended battery. Actually all cell phone companies need to make the batteries bigger like the driod razr maxx

I've been using this battery since Feb 17th. The stock battery would only get me through the work day and even then sometimes barely. Now I easily can go through the evening with about 30% left before I plug it in for the night. Once I forgot and it was at 1% the next morning which the stock never would've lasted that long.
I wasn't aware we could use the Nexus extended battery. Since I use a case I may switch to that. If I can find one at a good price on Prime.
How the heck do you get 5 hours of screen time and have it last 24 hours? Even with the nexus battery juice defender running I can get maybe 3-4 hours.

Juice defender is sucking down your battery. I run Gideons script as well as some other mods. Easily go over 24 hours, usually 2 days. With the extended battery I have gone over 8 hours screen on.

well $27.94 to be exact =) i'll admit it did take it from an awesome deal to a really realy great deal. i had looked at these in the tmobile store and they were asking 59.99 i believe. At first i decided against the extra bulk and weight of it. The blaze is a small and light phone, and this case pretty much makes it not a "small and light phone" lol. 8mm thickness doesnt sound like much, but in reality it doubles the phone thickness and weight.
peronally, with the gorilla glass on the phones these days and the phone insurance from tmobile, i usually dont bother with cases, escpecially when they tend not to even include a belt clip or kickstand, but with the power outages from hurricane sandy recently, i had a change of opinion. for 27 dollars, even if i dont use it on my phone regularly, its akin to any other emergency supply one might want to have available in their household in case of emergencies.
just my somewhat hands-on review and my associated humble opinion of the product.
I just got one of these for my blaze, now i can go a full day without charging it! i did notice though that it gets kind of hot when charging the phone off of the powerskin.

This phone doesn't have gorilla glass and is prone to scratching. A few posters here have been unfortunate to have put scratches on their phones.
Investing in a good case and screen protector is something I would recommend. If you have this case all you would need is a good screen protector.

It was good during the hurricane as a backup. For $20 quality is OK. If I paid more I would have returned it. Its a rubber case that fits over the top and shifts around. I thought it would have been a hard case or shell
