FWIW, Just thought I would check today and low and behold, they were available..
I ordered one and I will report back with results.. Make sure you get one with the back with the speaker opening.. one of the other ones does not have it.. the thanks button is right below the link.

I bought one before from Hong Kong, it worked very well (exceeded my expectations, especially for the price)...but I'll never use an extended battery on the 3D just because the texture on the back of the phone makes this phone so unique!
you are probably looking at roughly 2500mah actual
bought one, only 3 left
if this is from a "real" manufacturer, why do they only have 5 for sale?
Sumthin fishy here..
2 of the most faked/counterfeit items on ebay are batteries for phones and memory cards.
You couldn't PAY me to put a $15 battery in MY phone.
I ran one and my niece for a year with the EVO... Worked great...

when you get, is there a way to test the true mah ?
would love to know before i fork down $75 for siedio's battery this week
Great! Now I need to decide if this is the battery door I should make a mold for a TPU case around or not. I'm sure seidio and sprint/htc will release their own door as well.

Seidios batteries are traditionally way over-rated as well. My favorite product of theirs is the slim "extended" batteries that are actually less mAh and then the OEM battery I'm guessing this battery will come in at 2500-2800mAh, Seidios will probably be between 2800-3000. You can send the battery to batteryboss.org and they will test it, but I doubt you'll want to drop $75 on a battery and then send it to someone. I actually
have one of these standard size orange white and red batteries and so far it seems good. Maybe 90% of what the OEM battery is. I especially like that is has an Android on it!

$15 battery? Even the OEM batteries can be obtained for less then that. I just bought a Samsung battery for an i500 for $10. Evo 4G batteries are about $10 too. These batteries arent fakes, they arent advertised as being OEM. It's just a chinese brand, and from my testing so far they are well packaged and well performing.
Please make the tpu case for the Seidio extended battery, I love this smoke one I have for the standard battery. And I'm getting the Seidio 4000 this week
I'm getting the seidio "boss" battery, and would definitely buy a tpu case for it. These tpu cases are a gem, so well worth the purchase.

I had 9 original EVO batteries from ebay and they worked PERFECTLY.
Guaranteed they make them in the same factories, just some of them get one sticker, others get another sticker. Maybe they're in different towns, but I'm sure it's the same process and they work great for me. Not like the $60 batteries are made in america - they're made in China as well
These under 20 dollar battery's work.
But for how long
They can last a year but don't be surprised if it stops holding charge/discharges fast/takes long time to charge within a couple of months use
Its like a EverReady battery or those cheap batterys they have at the dollar store
They work but soon you have to replace

I've seen these before, never look too much into them. I know a lot of people are against the eBay batteries but I know Galileo makes a solid battery (not sure if one is available for 3VO). But look into MugenPower also.
I'm personally looking into the Innocell 1900mah. I want as much as I can get over the stock 1750 without straying away from the slim size.

You got something against buying straight from the source and saving tons of middle man money? It's like how overpriced most of the cases are. So much stuff is made in china now I really don't care about paying a lot extra for a warranty on a product if i can buy it over and over 5 times before i spent as much as the "official" made in china from an overpriced accessories manufacturer.

I dont have anything against Hong Kong. My wife ordered batteries and a charger like this for her Samsung Epic and when they arrived they were the wrong batteries and the charger didnt even work. At least I have a better chance returning and getting my money back with Amazon or Seidio.
And yes, the shipping time sucks.

Worth a shot.
If you're paranoid, they accept PayPal/Google Checkout. I just ordered one myself. Can't see myself using it all the time, since it won't fit in a case, but it's great for days when you're out for a long time with heavy use.

Because many of the third-party batteries you find are actually less than advertised. However like I said above, this promotion is coming from Phandroid.com. On top of that the website selling it has a 30-day money-back guarantee, and you're protected by PayPal if you decide to use that to check out. I don't see what all the fuss is about.
Just ordered one **** it ill try it out
These battery's are like rayovac,eveready...they work but for a little while.
Seido is like energizer/duracell lithium

Those batteries are barely as good as stock bats and they're smaller than the seido 3500.. Don't waste your money I've tried them both and you get what you pay for in this case.. trust me

I ordered this battery. I will be peeling the sticker back to see if there is any indication that it is less mah than advertised. I will report my findings as soon as I get it. I will post in both threads if they both exist, that way we can know if these batteries are actually legit. I started a thread a while back about my experience with a so called 1850mah battery from ebay, that was marked 1000mah under the sticker. I took pictures to prove it. I will do the same with this.

i purchased a 5200 off ebay and i kind of feel the same way you do. that damn mugen is too expensive - i'm about to cut the label off and see whats in this exntended battery for real
I bought the one of these for my GN7000 international note..
Worked great in there.. lasted 2 work days instead of one..
Then I sold the international and bought the i717 LTE ATT version.
I use this same battery in the ATT note only without the 7000 back and only the rubber over case..
Works great and I get the same long 2 day battery time with it!!!
good luck.

4000mah that's alot of battery juice ...Is it worth the bulk?
You can get the 3500 mah battery for the same bulk as the 4000.when I first got the battery I still haven't removed it or thinking of that for me it's worth it the bulk that is but for some 55$ is a bit over for a battery price
yeah in that case might as well go with the 4000mah... I should probably upgrade myself still using stock battery...usually last me around 70% of the day
Sorry to drudge this up, but how's the battery holding up? Is the Seidio backplate really as bad of a fit as everyone says it is? I am seriously considering getting one cuz I wanna use my phone all day instead of sparingly.

This battery is extremely well. That extra 500 of juice as proven itself useful.
As far as the size, people will get over it. I had a few buddies comment on my phones size and I kindly tell them I wasn't blessed with small hands like them, so to me, it's not big.
Bottom, the price tag for the battery and full package protective case has already paid itself off in my last convoy. Dropped while I was loading up cargo on the deuce and a half and it didn't shatter. When I was in the field, I had the only working cell phone pass the two week mark.
So if you're on your phone a lot and don't always have a power source to charge, this and the 3500 battery are for you. I had the 3500, but again, that extra 500 made a difference with me.

I bought that battery from cowboom in September when this was posted, and it definitely needs the expanded replacement cover as it is about twice as thick as the stock battery. The cover fits well though, unlike the Seidio that has has gaps at bottom of the phone for a lot of people, including me.
There's no way that a 3500mah battery could use the normal cover. Here's the Amazon listing for the same battery where the photos more clearly show the larger cover.

If you're in the US you can get the specially designed branded version made for Best Buy on EBay for under $20. Just search for Platinum instead of Seidio. You can get the cases cheaper that way also if you decide to stay with a factory battery although I've seen a few surface extended cases for less than $10.

Whenever you hear a story about a phone exploding in someone's pocket, there's a cheap battery to blame.
Seems too good to be true, but I'll avoid it. I'd rather spend the money on an OEM battery with 3,000 mAh so I'm assured that it'll work, and that it'll last.
Here's a hint: if a battery is advertised as being the same size with more capacity, it is too good to be true.
I ordered one for $8 off ebay. I'll post results in a few weeks when I get it.
I live on the wild side and ordered the miracle Chinese 3500 batteries. Oh well, life is a gamble. When I get them in two months, I'll report my review. Oh well, it was just $17.99
What could go wrong...:cyclops:
Batteries and sd cards are scams on ebay. The batteries often even have a label underneath the top one with a smaller capacity written on it. They also don't last very long at all. Even if it works well new, prepare to be displeased in a couple months.
I have bought those black ones in the past and they were pretty bad. Like they only lasted a couple hours. Hopefully these are better. But I have also bought the ones with a yellow and red stripe and they were much better. Not as good as an Anker but still pretty good. Here is one for 6 bucks and it ships locally. http://www.ebay.com/itm/3300mAh-battery-for-LG-Sprint-Optimus-G3-LS990-D850-D855-S-Stylus-/191257900734?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item2c87dbf6be
These aftermarket batteries is one thing I will not touch with a 10 foot pole. No matter how much I need a spare. There's only a few reputable 3rd party battery manufacturers that I would buy without hesitation. But I wouldn't go near eBay batteries.
