If you are asking me not that is not the link, I can't seem to get to it today , but the code was BAT30, I can't even find the batteries now .
04-16-2011 08:29 PMLike 0 - I ordered this from the HTC web site and just put the battery in today. It so far is GREAT! I havent done much so far today but on comparison with my regular battery which was working pretty well this is much better. Its been 12 hours, I did various surfing and mail check through the day, had it on wifi since then, played on it a bit and I still have 80% power left. Now its a percentage of a larger amount in comparison to the stock battery, with the same activity on the stock Id be around 50%. But for $45.00 I got 2 count them 2 batteries and a wall charger (that also has a USB port so the phone can be connected too!) Its an official HTC battery, says its the same as the mytouch 4g battery and the HTC Merge charger. The cover is a real pain to get on and off but a much better choice than a bulky extended battery with no case. My stock battery got much better as it got trained so I expect even better from this. So far a great deal! HTC Thunderbolt Verizon LTE 4G 1700mAhx2 Battery+Dock USB Charger PD42100 I posted the above in a different thread a few days ago, couldnt figure out how to link them so re-posting here. Its been a few days and its def worth it. Only thing is the charger is rated at 350ma which is way less than the stick charger. It charged, just took a lot longer.04-17-2011 01:55 PMLike 0
- You purchased these from HTC Express correct?

I am always around a charger at work and I could use the extended for when I am away on the weekends when not near a charger.04-17-2011 06:29 PMLike 0

I wasn't really interested in the extended battery at $50 but I could live with it at $35
I noticed all the employees that had Thunderbolts had them and they were not that bad.
I have to say I got my Thunder on Friday and didn't need to charge it and charged it over night and was ok all of Saturday but on Sunday seen it drain faster.
Oh before buying the Thunder I was on eBay and got the 3 batteries and charger for $11.99 shipped I am sure its junk but I am only out 12 bucks04-17-2011 07:19 PMLike 0 - yeah, the one and only time i bought ebay batteries was for my gf's droid x. it was fine the first two weeks then it started making the phone run VERY VERY HOT. The phone also started stating that they're not OEM batteries.
Every OEM battery has a microchip in it to make it run efficiently so that it doesn't overcharge or charge/discharge at the wrong voltage (or whatever its measured at)
i'm usually all for finding ebay alternatives, but not when it can ruin my device. the battery one of the main components its not like a case where you can cheap out on it. there's no reason to put your $500-600 phone in jeopardy of just a $10-30.
I bought my oem battery here for $19.99 shipped: HTC MyTouch 4G HD Battery (OEM) | Overstock.com
edit: i'm strongly against this thread soley because the listing is VERY MISLEADING. They're NOT OEM as the seller tries to indicates. He also attempts to indicate that they are 1700mAh, NO, they're not. Repeat NOT OEM. If you're going to go this route regardless, please support the ebay listings instead since they CLEARLY state that they're not oem.04-17-2011 10:11 PMLike 0 -
