Rezound battery fits the ThunderBolt for $19.99
- Thanks Syny, but when i go to the verizon store to view the battery all i get is a wish list link. No link to actually purchase it. Am i missing something?
Also, there seem to be a lot of negative reviews for that charger. A lot of people claiming it comes with the wrong "plate" and their batteries don't fit?02-26-2012 04:17 PMLike 0 - Thanks Syny, but when i go to the verizon store to view the battery all i get is a wish list link.

Go to Set Your Location
Enter your zipcode, then type Rezound in the "Search by Device" box and click the search button to the right. Then select the Rezound above. You'll then have to click "Show All" to see all accessories. Scroll down to the standard battery and there should be an option "Add to cart" now.
Not sure what to tell you on the Seidio charger. It came with the correct plate and has worked great for me. Just wanted to point it out as you don't need to use your charger and cable that came with the phone. It just plugs directly into the wall. Whereas the HTC one on Verizon's site, you will need to use the charger and cable.

I wouldn't worry about it. It will work. It's not unusual for batteries to be dead or nearly so when you get them.J-Dam likes this.02-26-2012 09:59 PMLike 1
- Thanks, i just want my slim phone back. I went back to my original tbolt battery the other day to get the slim feel and literally watched the battery drain before my eyes. Didn't take long to throw the extended battery back in.02-27-2012 11:40 AMLike 0
- Got the battery yesterday. It booted up with 40% so i charged it overnight with the phone off. Bump charged it 3 times this morning. It stayed at 100% for nearly 3 hours but started dropping at a pretty good clip after that. Currently at 42% after 8hrs 45min of moderate use(Pandora, Youtube, Texting and browser). My first impression is that it is no better than the OEM tbolt battery. Hopefully it will get batter after a few cycles...hopefully. Ordered a second one along with the Seido wall charger.03-01-2012 04:40 PMLike 0
- YourMobileGuruFormerly VZWRocksThis is an interesting definition of "moderate use" Youtube and Pandora are two of the worst battery hogs out there. From what you have descried you are doing quite well actually.
This battery is not a wonder cure, or an extended life battery crammed into the size of a stock battery. It's a slightly more powerful battery than the stock one that works well for those who need a little more boost to get through the day (i.e. a couple more hours). If you're a heavy user, and/or the stock battery wasn't lasting you half a day then you will be a lot better served bu getting a regular extended life battery.03-02-2012 02:23 AMLike 0 - This is an interesting definition of "moderate use" Youtube and Pandora are two of the worst battery hogs out there.

I said moderate because i was only on youtube and pandora probably a total of 20 minutes combined. Believe it or not, pandora doesn't really hog my battery when i use it. Don't know why, but it doesn't. Anyway, i think one member here said it best. "it sips from 100% to around 80%, gulps until around 30% and then sips the rest of the way". Just charged it overnight and now i'll bump charge it again and see how it goes on a second cycle. I got around 12 hours out of the first cycle. IIRC, my OEM tbolt battery was getting that. Not expecting a miracle, was just hoping for a little more.

- To each their own. For me, turning off 4G is like having an HD television and only watching non-HD content on it. It feels like a waste of the device's capability and your enjoyment of it. Why have an LTE device then? But, I guess I come at it from a different perspective as my battery life actually improved when LTE went live back in Oct. 2011 (stronger signal, virtually eliminated signal loss/switching which I strongly believe is the real battery drain, not LTE itself). Sprinkle in a little Gingerbread and this Rezound 1620mAh battery and I can easily make it through an entire day on light to moderate use (rarely use the extended battery anymore). With LTE, I find that I'm able to get things done faster and allow the phone to go back to standby quicker. I also enjoy using it much more than I did on 3G.808TBolt likes this.03-05-2012 09:36 AMLike 1
- I finally had the patience to use the Rezound battery for a week to really get some time on it, and I think I'm getting almost the same useful time that I was getting with the extended battery. At night when I go to bed and put it on charge, it doesn't have as much left as the extended battery, but it got through my moderate use day with power to spare.03-07-2012 09:20 PMLike 0

4G is the normal setting where I usually keep my radio. When at home, I turn on WIFI to conserve battery (and network data usage). My home network is very fast, so it's not like I'm taking a hit on speed to switch over to wifi.
*IF* I know I'm going to be out all day without a charger or in areas where there is no 4G (or poor 4G coverage), I'll switch it down to 3G to make sure I'm not wasting extra power.
This system works pretty well for me, and with the Rezound battery, I can definitely make it all day on a single charge in normal conditions.Alma likes this.03-08-2012 09:15 AMLike 1
