The stock battery is 1300 mAh according to the specs.

guess add 3-4 mm is not so bad, maybe when someone buys one, can post it pic please.

Can someone say about the amount of time we will gain with either of these?

It will increase by a percentage of your current time. No true time could be given as this is dependent on how you use your phone.

1750 is a ~34.6% increase in battery life
3500 is a ~169% increase in battery life

This is rough and depends on the stock battery and replacements being the same quality, and the same phone usage before and after replacement.

definatley going for the 3500 battery. im sick of the stock life i need a huge jump.

I'd buy the 1750. The sleak feel and look are why I got this phone over the moto stood.

Mugen has a 1800mah battery that cost a bit less than Seidio. Not really sure about the battery, but the lower price makes me want to try it.

I couldn't find a battery for the eris on Welcome to Mugen Power Batteries - Premium Extended Batteries for Mobile Devices , is that the same site ? Do the HTCs pair their batteries like BlackBerrys so you can only use specific bateries in specific models even if they do fit and match up? What is the mugen model # for the eris ?

Thanks

Inquiring minds....

Just to correct myself, if you click on 'more photos' it has a comparison picture. the cover looks a little dull though. I didnt think 3-4 mm would make the phone look so thick. I am torn between which one to get.

 

[dfine06]

The phone is so thin to begin with tha even with the biggest battery it won't turn into a brick phone. That's why I went with the biggest. Plus the battery lfe stock is so horrible I want to get the most not just a small bump

My 1750 came yesterday, I'll post a report back in s few days. Do far its still at 99%.

I received the Seidio 1750 yesterday and charged it overnight. Right now I am at 66% battery left (at 4:30 pm, and I have been using it a lot today.) Until yesterday, with the stock battery, I could not go through a day without having to charge at some point for about 30 minutes during the day. Needless to say, I am very pleased.

The one thing that I noticed is that this battery is thicker than the stock battery (which makes sense), but is just thick enough that the back cover no longer completely engages; there is a slight gap near the volume buttons on the left side. Since my Eris lives in a case, I am not too concerned, but it is worth knowing if you are thinking about this battery.

 

[dfine06]

how did you receive your batteries? i ordered mine but they said on the site orders don't ship till the 10th? s how did yours come so quick?

 

[doogald]

Mine said the same, about shipping the week of the tenth when I ordered, but I got an e-mail on Thursday saying that my order had shipped. I checked the order status and, sure enough, the battery was part of the order (I thought that they may have split shipped with the other things that I ordered.) I also noticed on the web site that the battery was listed as "now shipping".

how did you receive your batteries? i ordered mine but they said on the site orders don't ship till the 10th? s how did yours come so quick?

Yes, we have been able to move up the shipping date. shipping began 1/6 instead.

Thank you for your patience.

[dfine06]
