I just placed an order for this battery as I would like to worry less.about juice each day. What are everyone's experiences so far?

I also picked up the battery charger which powers both the phone and the extra battery so that things are all set for the next day.

Feedback on either of those accessories? Thanks guys.
Loving this device by the way.

It doesn't. I had this battery in my Hero, and I saw a decent improvement in battery life. So, since I liked it in the Hero, I snagged up a fresh one for my EVO. It's definitely an improvement over the regular battery. :cool:

And I could care less what that site says. I have working proof that they are wrong.

I ordered the 1750 mAh battery and got it about 5 days after I got my EVO and have been using the Seidio battery ever since. In all honesty I don't see a major difference between the 1750 and the stock 1500 mAh battery if any. Battery life is a tricky thing since we don't use our phones the exact same way each and every day. some days are heavier than others but I can tell you I "Average" 16 - 18 hours a day on a single charge with still about 20% battery life remaining when I go to bed and put her on the charger.

The longest I went between charges was 30+ hours but that was 8 - 9 hours of driving and no use and another 8 - 9 hours of sleeping on very VERY light use. I just like having the option of a spare battery for while I am traveling. Gives you power on the go..... For the $$$ your better off buying just a stock 1500 mAh battery and your probably going to get about the same life out of it. My "Worst" day was about 10 1/2 hours but that was on what I consider pretty heavy use (2 hours of You Tube streaming by my daughter, over 2 hours of web surfing, dozen or so e-mails, 20 - 30 pictures, uploading 10 or so to Facebook and e-mailing a few as well, 40 minutes of talk and god knows how many text messages between a bunch of friends)

I ordered the same charger but ironically I do not have it yet... I was told it was on back order and would ship this past week so it might be at home waiting on me (I travel for a living and have been out of town all week) So I don't have any feed back on that yet...
 
I have one. I have been using it. I am unsure if it is giving me more usage than the stock one but I am fairly sure it is at least as good. So it seems to b working fine for me.

I have it in my Evo now. I got it as a spare so I can change out the battery. Good news is since I did some of the tips here I have not had to change the battery out so am just using the 1750 one. With that said I have not had a heavy usage day yet so..
 
It's not a bad battery but in my experience it hasn't proven to be any better than the 1,500mAh battery. You can get spare 1500mAh batteries at vzw.com for 27.99 with free overnight shipping using the BAT30 coupon code.

What you have is so far from "proof" that it's a sacrilege to call it that. You changed several settings that are directly related to battery life while testing the 1750. In scientific terms, you changed at least three variables during one experiment, which immediately renders your results invalid, no matter what the outcome was.
 
Testing the capacity of a lithium is very easy with the right tool. Sticking it in the phone is the wrong way.
 
Extended Battery fir HTC EVO4G

Hello Everyone! Hope all is G@@D in the Droid World! There is a lot of great Stuff here! Masters & PHDs I C@@ :-) I purchased the EVO on-line From Sprint to get the phone as soon it was Released! I bought the SEIDIO 3600mAh Extended Batt: with the Humpback of Notre Dane on it! seidioonline.com
I also purchased a product called,Gadget Guard!iPhone, iPod, Cell Phone, Cases, Screen Protectors, Shields, Covers by Invisible Gadget Guard It's Kevlar for your Phone! It's applied with water & Hardens into a Steel shell! For REAL! Also bought a LowePro Camera Hard Shell Case because, you won't find a case cover with this Battery on Planet Earth! Gotta wait for the spaceman to show up with One! :-)) The Battery is 2nd to None! I only used SEIDIO Batteries when I had my Treo 650P & 700P! Remember them:-) They started the HOLE Thing! The Battery lasted for over 80 hr.s of FULL USAGE & still had around 25% left on before recharging it! Takes 6-8 hr.s to fully charge! But, I have a 2nd battery that I keep fully charged on the Cradle! Also Purchased the RYOBI Quick charger Tool USB from Home Depot! $20! Comes with a Lithium Ion Battery! Learn this Stuff the Hard Way after Owning a Treo for 4 yr.s! I still miss that Phone! Not even the ANDROID can Beam info from Phone to Phone like you Could with your Treo! Would be Nice to say, "Scotty, Beam Me Up"!!! Hopefully, that's the Next App: for us All! Hope this helps Everybody :-) Enjoy your Phone & Have a Grate & Safe Summer! :-))
 
Alright, so as far as I'm concerned the argument has ended... The Seidio is, not only useless, but actually WORSE than the stock OEM 1500 battery that came with the phone. I've gotten very good at maximizing my battery use over the past few weeks and I've been flip-flopping back and forth between the HTC and the Seidio. At maximum charge and standard use, the HTC battery has been able to hold a 100% charge (according the HTC battery widget) for well over an hour (and up to an hour and forty minutes) and I routinely see a 2-4% battery usage per hour depending on the degree of use. The Seidio (without any use at all) lost 2% is just the first 30 minutes! The Seidio provides NO improvement over the included HTC battery. I have to estimate the Seidio being closer to a 1350 battery. Try going back to the original red HTC battery, charge until the LED turns green and immediately pull off the charger... you might be surprised by how much life the original battery provides. By the numbers, the Seidio should be a no brainer, but no brainers typically mean you also aren't thinking for yourself.
 
Same here, no difference in the stock versus Seido. Yes, the "topping off" charge trick works the best for me.
 
I strongly advice NOT to buy the 1750mAh it's a useless POS. I have one and it's not better than the OEM. What a waste of money.
 
Mine works great, I can tell the difference. Been using Seido extended batteries for a while, always had great luck with them.
 
I could make it to lunch on it. Need more getting 3500 now 2150just about makes it for me.

I have swapped back and forth between the stock and Seidio 1750 battery and I have seen no difference at all. the 1750 might be closer to the stock 1500 battery instead of 1750. For me it's a decent battery but over priced for what your really looking for... for 1/2 the price (or nearly 1/2) you can get a stock replacement battery that gets the same amount of use out of it.... At least in my use...

Only problem I had was swapping out batteries caused some thing to get messed up with my EVO (I always power my phone off before switching battery) I made the switch one day and the next day I barely got 6 hours out of the stock battery. I thought maybe I didn't have it fully charged so I just charged it up.... again barely 6 hours.... I Then noticed my awake time and up time were almost identical.. Use ATK I couldn't for the life of me figure out what was running.... I went to bed at 11pm with a full charge at 7:30 the battery was below 10%... up and awake time were almost exactly the same only about an hour difference and before I went to bed I made sure to run ATK.... Switched back to the Seidio and same thing.... battery barely lasted me 6 hours.... installed spare parts to try and get a better look at what might be running... Nothing stood out... leave the phone alone for 8 hours and the battery went flat dead with no use.. I finally did a factory reset and now it is back to 12 hours after the first day (Using the Seidio) working on day two.. took it off the charger at 8 this morning and it's noon with 77% remaining with moderate use.... The only thing that stood out before I factory reset was Android.process.acore was showing 10 - 15% use... Since that does not show up in my battery use page any more (and I don't recall seeing it before I started having battery problems)
