Extended Battery now available

[lwoodsjr]

Are these available in Verizon stores?

Oops just saw the earlier post where someone bought it in store. Sorry.

So performance wise all I have to say is wow... This battery is amazing, would recommend it to anyone who needs a little extra juice. The cover is hardly noticeable, and I actually like the fact that it adds a little extra weight to the phone.

If you fully charge the OEM battery, how long will it stay charged after you remove it from the phone? I'm interested in using the extended battery, and having the stock one handy as a back up.

ETA: Those of you forcing the OEM battery cover on the extended battery, should think twice. Just because you can do something, doesn't make it a good idea. It ships with a new door for a reason, and it's not because Motorola is feeling generous.

Got my extended battery in right now.

And my VZ carbon fiber case fits just fine with the extended battery cover.

Its at about 90% after being off charger for 2 hours and with some light browser use.

Normally my phone would be at 90% after one hour off charger with no use. So it's an improvement so far.

Just picked this up today, usually get 12 hours with moderate/daily use. Will test out tomorrow.

I always use Performance Mode. If anyone does the same with the extended battery, I'd be curious to hear your experience with this battery vs. the OEM.

Ordered the extended battery/cover last night. Anxious to see how well it works.

^Same here, ordered it last night as well. I hope Amzer comes out with a dock/charger combo like they did for the original Droid. It was nice to be able to charge the Droid and battery at the same time.

Have you guys been paying full retail price? I got mine for $37.49 and free overnight. Unfortunately it appears that BAT30 no longer works That was a screaming deal while it lasted.

Case

My high gloss silicone case from Verizon fits with the extended battery.

Sooooo,

Whats the report on how well these extended batteries work? Are people getting an hour more os usage, more or less? I know it depends on how you use your phone, but it would be great to see somes stats on this battery before I plunk down more money for another extended battery.

I went from 6:30 am until about 9:30 pm yesterday and the battery was down to 30%. Used it for another couple hours and still had juice to spare. Email (2 push, 2 on 15 min schedule), facebook, lots of TweetDeck, a few phone calls via bluetooth. Phone was connected to car's bt for 6 or so hours. Wifi, bt and gps on the entire time. Played some games and watched a few streaming videos.

I'd say the battery is worth it.

Picked up the extended battery yesterday, from one day of use I'm already getting about 2 hours more battery life, will report back later after its been a couple of days

I also really like the weight, phone feels more sturdy lol

Can someone post pics of the X with the stock battery and another pic with the extended battery installed on the phone.

can anyone post if it fits with the shell/holster combo?

 

[Bond32]

can anyone post if it fits with the shell/holster combo?

I would be suprised if it didn't. It is not much different from the stock cover.

 

[AedansDad]

can anyone post if it fits with the shell/holster combo?

The shell/holster does somewhat fit with the extended battery. However, it does not fit exactly right on the bottom corners and the bit of extra thickness makes it much harder to insert and remove from the holster.

I find the "leave on charger 2-3 hours longer than the indicated 100% ???? Is it also applicable to do that with the standard battery that oringinally came with the phone ?????

Would a Decal Girl sticker/decal (or similar brand for that matter) still work on the extended door. These are pre-cut to the shape of the parts, so I guess I'm asking if the extended door is the same shape (perimeter-wise). I can't really tell eyeballing it in the photos.
