It's not there unless it is available (low chat volume). It shows up here next to "Send an E-mail" on the very bottom. I just sit on the page for a few minutes and it eventually pops up:

well i *****ed and moaned, respectfully and nicely as possible for like 10-15 minutes and got them from giving me a 20% discount up to giving me the battery for 50% off. ill take it. according to the online chat its a $40 battery but the website shows $50

Jermica: Okay. I am placing the order for you now. The battery is normally $39.99, but I will be sending it for $19.99. It will be sent FedEx two-day delivery. That is for the extended life battery
Dan: thats perfect
Dan: does it include a new back cover? As ive noticed thats one piece
Jermica: Yes, it also includes the back cover. I have completed the order for you also
Dan: ok thanks, its part # HTC6400BATX right?
Jermica: Yes, that is correct
Dan: ok thank you very much and it was billed to my account correct?
Jermica: Yes, I have billed it to your account. You will see it on your next bill. The order actually only came to $18.75, because your discount was giving you the battery for $37.49, so I still gave you half off that

I tried getting for free but that wasnt happening, not my lucky day lol. My current battery lasts a solid 12-14 hours on moderate/light use so battery wasnt a huge concern but this will totally remove any worries I ever had, especially a $50 battery for like $20.

32 hours or so it seems now. I am down to 2 yellow bars. This is great! I decided to plug it in now.

I have the extended battery but it is still in its box. I want to use it but then I can't use my Seidio Innocase and holster.

 

[musicman555]

Are you using the extended battery all the time or are you swapping it for when you travel? I guess once you get used to it, it doesn't matter.

I use the extended battery almost full time now. I do switch in the stock battery once a week or so just for the health of the battery. It's not good to let a battery sit unused too long and I want to keep both as viable options.

Any of you guys able to kill small game with your phone and its extended battery? Could come in handy if you are stranded in the wilderness.

Not sure. But it does add that extra "mmph" to a donkey punch.

heya DanSan... how did you get a discount coupon on the battery? I'm looking at the TBolt and seems that the extended battery is a must, but that of course makes it more expensive. A 20% discount would certainly help offset that.

it depends on who you talk to. i called complained about the poor battery life, they said they would send me a ext battery for free, but that there was none in stock? maybe their call center has a different pool or something? i dunno. btw, i could've gotten a charge as well, but i passed because i must have skype.
