Extended Battery Options

[JAJ334]

I just switched over from the iPhone and as I'm getting used to the Atrix, I really like it. The battery life, however, is less than ideal. Can anyone advise me on an extended battery to buy for it? I don't mind if it makes the phone bigger, I just need something that lasts.

Is this one any good?

Additionally, while we're on the topic of batteries, is there anything I can do to alter the battery display? I'm used to the iPhone changing from the color green at 20% remaining, but the Atrix seems to do it at 40. It also doesn't seem to gradually decrease, but rather, it does so in blocks. Anything I can do for this? Thanks

Dont think that one is released yet, and I have not heard of any others.

For a cheaper option you can find a replacement battery for the Droid X on amazon that will fit in the Atrix and is OEM, but is 1400ish mah instead of 1900ish. But, it is $6, so kind of makes up for the smaller capacity IMO.

Yes, I love the Mugen 4800mAh. My only critique is that very occasionally when I set the phone down, the battery has enough wiggle room in the door that comes with it to slightly unseat and reset the phone. This is something a thin layer of foam or padded tape could easily fix. If you keep the brick shaped door, then the Nite Ize Tall Cargo carry case work well.

If you prefer the Otterbox Defender, you'll have to modify it yourself which is rather difficult (but possible).
