Seidio 1750mAh battery

Has anybody purchased and used this battery? If so, how much has it increased your usage time? I'm thinking about taking the plunge, but just wanted to get some opinions on it before I do.

I have the 3500 and it rocks. I got tired of charging, charging,charging. I truly can go all day between charges

I ordered the 1850mAh Andida battery that I found on eBay (do a search for Nexus S 4G battery and it will show up) and I just put it in today. I have read on here and XDA differing opinions on the Andida, but they have been more positive than negative so I thought I'd give it a shot. On the downside, it can act as my backup if I don't wind up getting any add'l juice out of it.

Pros of the Andida vs. the Seidio is basically price. It was $22 vs. $45 and I didn't feel like spending $45 at this point.

I will do some tests and post if I notice a difference.

Also, does anyone know if I should do a battery settings reset when I start using the new battery? Does the Nexus know that a new battery is in and that the profile will be different?

TIA.

I purchased this battery, noticed my stock 1500mah lasted longer. Even after doing calibrations and cycles. Could just be the cell and quality of the battery. Most aftermarket batteries use cheap cells, but they do have some good ones out there. They have done testings before with all these brands of batteries and found that most were way under the rated power they stamped on them. Just keep that in mind.. Always get a quality one, the ones on ebay are usually junk. My personal background with Seidio's is that they never reached rated power.

A user did some testing on the Seidio vs HTC batteries, and the 1750mah for the Incredible never reached the rated power it was stamped with. The HTC ones however did. So the same can go for these comparisons.
