So I order some Acesoft 2010mah battery that do not seem to be lasting a whole lot as far as battery life goes.
But anyways I saw this auction
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-2500mAh...350011?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item33702d507b
Never seen one that high before. I know Amazon has 2400mah that dont fit properly but the 2500mah look like the size of the stock batteries.
What do you guys think?
I've never seen that brand. I've tried a couple of kinds so far and neither acesoft nor mugen made any noticeable difference. Actually, my stock battery has performed better so far. I've used them before and never had stock last as long or longer like now.

I had a feeling.....
Maybe we might have a 3500mah batt for the rezound!!!!
I have been a little disappointed with the rezound's extended battery and have had good experiences with siedio batteries on the Dinc.
I called siedio and they said that they wont be making an ext batt for the rezound. So in my searches for a battery i came across this
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=htc+rezound+batt
It seems that the same batt is used on the Rezound, thunderbolt and the mytouch 4g. I also come to find Seidio makes a 3500mAH batt for the t-bolt.
http://www.seidioonline.com/thunderbolt-innocell-3500-extended-battery-black-p/bacy35htmec-bk.htm
So the question i have is to any previous owners of the t-bolt or the mytouch:
Does the batt from these phones work in the rezound?
and
If yes - does the 3500mAH t-bolt seidio batt fit in the rezound with the rezound extended case. I currently have a call into Seidio's tech supp. hopefully they will give me an answer.
I sure wouldn't mind an extra 750mah on my rezound.
I just got a call back from Seidio tech support.
They told me that the batt works but doesn't register on the batt meter.
He said he actually had it in his hand and was testing it in a Rezound but he didnt have an extended back so i dont know if the verizon one will work.
He also measured the batt and said it is just under 1cm thick.
He said the phone powers up and seems to be working but he doesn't know what the long term performance would be like.
I guess there is electronics in the batt that communicates with the phone to track batt life.
Oh well don't know if i want to take a $70 chance with this.
It would be great if someone out there who has this battery could verify it.
I think I recall people having issues charging TBolt batteries as well. Not speaking from experience though but something to consider.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
Another disappointing thing the Seidio tech told me - that there will be no 3500mah batt for the Rezound.

All batteries or just HTC t-bolt batteries? I mean does that include the Seidio 3500mah batt?
oh no... another one of these threads.
yes, a MyTouch 4G or Thunderbolt battery will work in a Rezound.
you will notice though that the "Wh"(wattage hours) do not match up(Rezound's being higher) so even though the Seidio one is 3500, it'll perform closer to a 3000 in the Rezound.
additionally, since the battery is not intended for the Rezound it has the potentional to do damage to the Rezound.
back in my Galaxy Nexus days, we found we could use Galaxy S II batteries in it. one of the GN users gave it a go for awhile and the SII battery ended up shorting out his device somehow & he had to get it replaced.

Oh yes another -
Problems with one phone/battery combo don't necessarily mean there will be the same problems on another.
Keyword - "potential".
It doesn't hurt to ask as someone out there may have tried it with success.
The Rezound or any phone does not have a WH rating. It has a continuous current rating. I don't know about the ratings of these phones but i would assume that the rezound is higher so, with voltage being ~ equal, the power dissipation would be greater.
The battery rating is not dictated by the phone. The battery WH rating is a function of the current/voltage and the dissipation time of the battery and independent of the device consuming it? So a 3500mah battery will deliver "X" mA's of power but for less time than in a mytouch due to the higher current draw (X) of the rezound.
In other words a 3500mah batt will perform like a 3500mah batt regardless of which phone it was intended to be used on.
Did you every buy a Thunderbolt extended battery and try in your rezound? If so does it fit with the Rezound Extended battery back?
guys i just traded my thunderbolt in for a rezound. like a damn idiot i shipped theTB's 3500 extended battery back to verizon but before i returned it, it lasted the same amount as on my TB. im gonna try and get verizon to ship it back to me because this rezound extended battery isnt as good.

Yes. I have the OEM Thunderbolt extended battery (made by HTC) in my Rezound right now. In fact, I've had it in since I bought the phone on ebay over 2 months ago. The previous owner had the OEM Rezound extended battery and back at one point, but lost the extended battery. So he substituted the battery with the extended battery for the HTC Thunderbolt. It has the exact same capacity and dimensions, but is black instead of red.

I tried my OEM thunderbolt battery in my rezound and it showed the battery indicator grayed out. Didn't show how much battery life I had/had left. And it didn't charge at all.
So I would wait until someone confirms that the seidio tbolt battery works in the rezound before buying.
Just buy the HTC extended battery for your Rezound. It lasts me 12-16 hrs of heavy use.

"heavy use" varies from person to person. for me the HTC extended battery lasts 3 - 4 hours "heavy use".
i'm probably just going to order that mugen 4000mah battery.
It's official, it does NOT work
Based on encouraging info here and in other forums, I decided to try this. I ordered the 3500mah battery for the Thunderbolt made by Seidio from Amazon. It came with the Thunderbolt extended battery back (which you do not need) and the battery, in a clear plastic snap-together case.
The battery does indeed FIT inside the Rezound using the extended battery back that I already had from buying the Rezound extended battery from Verizon. The Rezound will power on and will work with this battery, BUT
1. The battery icon on the notification bar will display a strange symbol, where it does not seem to understand the current battery charge level. A workaround would be to load Circle Battery Widget (free from market) which did seem to report an accurate battery level.
2. The killer - you cannot charge the battery using your Rezound, or a Rezound external charger. I plugged in the Rezound to a micro USB charger that I normally use and it looks like it's going to charge for a couple seconds (solid amber LED) but then it starts blinking alternate green and amber on the LED. This means there is a battery issue. Left it plugged in for several hours and the battery did not increase its charge. Also tried removing the battery and using an external charger I had for extra Rezound batteries, and it would not charge in there.
I packed the battery back into its plastic case and returned it to Amazon. They accepted the return and refunded my money.
Disappointing... The stock Rezound battery is useless. Even with an extended battery I have to baby it, turn off 4G and keep WiFi and GPS off unless I need them. Occasionally bump charge it or try to keep it above 70% for several days at a time or else it starts discharging at an alarming rate (dead by noon). So I have chargers next to my bed, in the car, and at work. I miss my old Incredible - with the extended battery I got all day even with 5 hours of GPS during a round of golf and some Wifi at home or work. Boo!
What the hell is wrong with your phone? To be fair, today was a light day with only 3 and a half hours of screen on time so far. But still... No reason the extended can't last the day.

Keep in mind everyone's experience will be different. Most people forget that Android is constantly looking for the strongest signal. The one thing you can be sure of is that everyone's phone will discharge at a different rate for that reason alone.
Beyond that you have to consider cpu speed, app configuration, memory leak, phone configuration, and a whole myriad of other factors that can contribute to drain.
I had the extended battery for about a week. In the areas that I live/work, it performed only marginally better than the stock battery. This was most likely due to how I had my phone configured (mostly conservative towards the end). However, for myself, if I feel I have to run this beast of a phone on minimal settings, there's no real point in having it. I made the compromise to return the extended battery and just buy additional chargers. Indeed, I have one on my nightstand, in the car, and on my work desk. The only time I'm really without a charger around is on the weekends when I go out at night. The stock battery performs fine for those purposes.
I will continue to monitor these threads until a suitable extended battery seems to give the majority of us the performance we need.

For the record
I've used this particular HTC Thunderbolt battery in three different Rezounds, with no issue. It seems to perform equal to the Rezound Extended Battery (both 2750 or 2700).
The part numbers on the battery are THE SAME. So at least for the normal extended battery, they (if part numbers being the same means they are the same) have no compatability issues.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055OTNK4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I've been using this in my Rezound for a few weeks now.
So ANYONE getting an Extended Battery for their Rezound, and need a little more juice, GET THIS BATTERY! It's $4! It's a perfectly good 2750 extended battery (completely legit) from HTC (not some garbage third party). They're dumping them as a result of overproduction I assume.
It's worth charging one of these up, and keeping it in your glove compartment for a rainy day (that's where mine is).
Everyone. Should. Get. This. For the price, I don't know how you couldn't. It's just that the HTC logo is upside down from the Rezound's (which doesn't matter).
So as an Extra extended battery, it's 10/10.

I got the OEM Rezound extended battery yesterday. Full charge, lasted a decent amount of time. But nothing great.
But I was on 3g, and did stream about 20mins of video. And I surfed quite a bit. But my evo 3d with the 4000mah battery kills the rezound.
I will have a better feel for the battery now that I am back home and on wifi, then on 4g at work. Thats more of my real life usage.

You can get VERY cheap aftermarket (under $20 with a cover) from ebay and elsewhere. "Cussing out" Sprint? Even HTC don't do an extended battery for this phone so it's no surprise that Sprint don't.

yea ur right but 3500 nice but 4000 MAH is the best thing out their

"IF" it's 4000mah. That's what's advertised but it won't be that. I remember people saying how great mugen batteries were until someone opened one, and the cells were even rated for the capacity claimed let alone what they actually did on the test machine.
If the 4000mah battery was actually 3500mah that would be worth it in my opinion.

the HTC one is bigger and has more mAH so last longer... but you will need a different battery door... the other one i think fits in the stock battery door but only last longer for a couple of months
Ebay ad says: *Extended battery door is needed, which we do not currently carry*
Don't forget that the Rezound antenna it is located on the back cover so if you get an extend battery it should come with a new cover and antenna as well.
The HTC one does.

Besides what the others have posted, I've found Mugen batteries to be overrated in regards to MAH rating. Ive only had two Mugen batteries on other phones, but received nearly identical battery use in comparison to my lesser mah stock batteries.
Just my opinion, but grab the HTC extended battery, but don't forget about the door. I have 3 extended battery doors if you need one.
Hey guys, I've looked around a bit at all the different batteries but I'd like your suggestions! I'm thinking about the Anker 1900mah. I'd really like one that fits in the stock case and is higher than the stock battery.
Thanks a lot
We purchased the 1900mAh batteries for our 2 Evo 3Ds in August and couldn't be happier. You get about 15-20% more capacity, which is nice. The Anker & Chichitec batteries seemed to be the best at matching the claimed mAh rating according to some lengthy threads on XDA about 8 months ago.
+1 on the chichitech and i've heard good thing about Anker
My recent testing show that my chichitec after about 6 months of daily use, to still be about 1800mah for comparison my OEM after using about 3 months is showing only about 1600mah
Go for Seidio 1900 mha Works well and not a knock off battery
I just got two anker batteries. It says 1900 mah but it lasts just as long as the stock battery so I recommend it. Same with chichitec I have two of those as well.
The Anker 1900mAh battery is good value for the money, just make sure you fully drain and charge it 4-5 times to get the most out of it.
mugen 1950mah battery is the best and legit!
Thanks for the suggestions, after looking around the other threads I went ahead and bought a chichitec battery. It should be shipping soon!
