As I didn't get these from ebay (got through Amazon), I have had very good luck with them.

Of course at this price, you really can't go wrong.

The batteries I got are red just like those in the auction and are marked as EVO batteries.

But, I do use them everyday and do get good life out of them... better than any slim battery out there..

I have found that I get a better charge on them using the included charger then if charged through the phone. One must assume that it's the phone that is the problem in that case....

I paid 29.00 bucks through amazon, but it looks like the seller is no longer offering them on amazon.

I do think it is the same seller though.

Lego!

I made them a $20 offer....see if they accept. The 1500 battery I got a long time ago off ebay is starting to fade... and the 2600 and 3000 batteries I have, well they are just too bulky for every day use. So if I can get these two 1800 batteries and they work well, I will be set.

I just got the 1800 battery and they work great. I usually keep my phone on charger at work and with the 1500, would have to charge it overnight...fairly heavy user here. Now I just charge it at work and it keeps me going throughout the week. I too have the 2600 and I find it is way too bulky...

the 3000 batteries I have, well they are just too bulky for every day use

Which 3000 battery do you have? Is it really that much thicker? Do you have a pic comparing it to the stock battery? (Preferably with the covers on).

Thanks!!

I have the 2600 battery off of eBay, and just ordered the 3000 from same seller.....in Hong Kong. I will take a pic of all batteries and covers once the 3000 comes in. It appears to be same size as 2600 which is really what I meant to say.

I ordered those off Amazon, the original site is HTCEXPRESS. They ship pretty quick, and I got a 10% off coupon for my next purchase.

The batteries are pretty sweet, I keep one charged and run down the other. Removing the batterystats.bin file helped bigtime, I'm at 79% now when I unplugged my phone at 8am this morning. I used my Inc at the gym for the music player, still nearly 80% since early this morning!

When I go to HTCEXPRESS, they have two different 1800 batteries for the HTC.... same price and same specs, one is red label, the other white. I wonder why the two different items??

I also got these off Amazon, and my first full day I went from 7am until about Midnight and I was 20%. However the second full day I went from 8am until 1am and I was still at 40%. I have tried the 1300, 1500, 2150, and 3500 mah batteries aside from this, and I am going to stick with this one. My 3500 will be going up on ebay sometime this week.

I dunno. I've never used gray market aftermarket batteries before. Anyone know who the ultimate manufacturer is? It seems like one thing to use a Seidio, and another to buy from "Chichitec." I'm probably paranoid, but it seems like a good way to end up on the news ("Cell phone explodes, killing 12, film at eleven").
