Buying an extended battery from amazon for the Droid X

[Daniel v2]

The situation is I have a $100 amazon gift card and I would like to buy an extended battery for my DROID x but I can't seem to find one that I'm comfortable with, most of the reviews are very mixed.

Does anyone have an extended battery on amazon they could recommend?

Thanks for the help.

Gorilla Gadgets 3500mAh for the DX. Best aftermarket battery I have ever owned.

Thanks, the bigger battery cover works fine on the DROID X?

Yes stock fitment just a bit thicker for obvious reasons. And its on sale from 60 to 29

A related question. Does the extended battery, being larger, affect the way the phone fits in the multimedia dock and the car dock? My wife uses both of these, if I replace her battery with an extended one will her X still fit in the docks? Thanks,

I do not use docks so I do not know.

Instead of an extended battery you could just buy an extra battery. I got one off amazon for $4. Works just as well as my original. They are small enough to carry in your pocket without any problems.

Based on the pics of this extended battery there's no way it would still fit in the docks. A spare battery or two for a few bucks is a great way to go. I keep a fully charged spare with me which takes up hardly any room in the pocket in case i need it but usually don't.
