Hey guys, I was going to order the seidio 4000mah battery for my 3d but I had a BestBuy gift card so I decided to pick up the 3400mah platinum brand from best buy which as I understand is the same thing as seidio just rebranded as BB house brand. I'm going to charge it up and I expect it to be much better than the crappy Chinese 3500mah off of ebay LOL. Who has this battery or the seidio 34000mah and how does it perform? Thanks

I have one I picked up for 22$ from a buddy, I love it other than the fact the power power can be a pain at times. I think it works great for. Hard usage gives me 7-12 hours on a full charge.
$50 at best buy ?? that's a lot of dough
I bought the 2 x 3500mah plus charger (Chinese model) from ebay for $20
I get 12 hours hard use playing 3D a lot and with at least 4 hours BT headphones music and 5hours a day screen use as I play wordfued oh and angry birds and I use 4G for about 2 hours when i'm on the road, switch to wifi work/home.
my bat-prog says biggest use is just screen as it eats up battery. I really like the Chinese knock-off u may want to try it, the price is right.
I see them now at under $7 w/one bat and back cover, you can't lose at that price.
i'm loving it, way better then the stock and a good price.

Anybody tried these batteries from Amazon?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055QL97C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A1N5BNWVY8XERQ
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.

Yeah I was gonna get the 1900mah one too. But when I saw these last night, I was wondering.
Llooks like someone bought these and is trying to mark them up by too much. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180679268676&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

yea I just ordered the 3 E3D batteries w/wall charger for $10.50 SHIPPED! gotta love ebay!
they are a good price. Just worried about the quality.
I can at least say the two with charger (similar deal to these ebay batteries now) for my evo back about a year ago still work fine (gave one to a friend for his Hero when I got a extended live batt) also the charger worked GREAT. (It easily rapid charged the batteries without getting hot at all)

Morn concerned they may not charge correctly or the capacity may not be what's advertised.
Anybody else notice that the the Seidio extended battery is only a 3.7 volt? Same as alot of the batteries on Ebay and the ones on Amazon.

I know it says "sensation" right there on the product, but I don't think I care. having 3x extra batteries will be so fat, will acutally let me WATCH all the sweet 3D movies I've got loaded on here!
I'll let you know if they're any good.

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.

Why, are they that "bad"? Or becuase of the shipping?

I have a preorder of the seido 1900 mah slim extended battery, and wont need to get a new battery cover either. Hopefully it ships soon.
Muliti quote is not working
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.
Hello Guys
when i was surfing on Ebay i came to know that a polymer battery for our Evo 3D, as in the link below
http://orders.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ImportHubViewItem&itemid=270829458051
so guys is this worth for money and will give a better performance than a standard Li-ion battery?
please Advise me
Thanks in Advance
Currently I am using a 2000mAh Li-ion brought from Ebay, fits without extented back door(installed today on my EVO 3D)
I will update its performance soon
below i have attached the images of that 2000mAh battery(Li-ion)
cost: $25 includes shipping
That is a Seidio battery. The pT brand you see on the packaging is what all the items that they make for Best Buy is branded. There is absolutely no difference in the cases/batteries that say Seidio or pT. I'm not positive, but i think that battery is cheaper from either Best Buy or Seidio. I believe that's how much their 4000mah battery is, or close to it. You can check either websites and find the price though. Personally I'd rather buy from Best But instead of eBay. 30 day, no questions asked, return policy. You're not gonna get that with eBay, and even if you do it won't be as easy as Best Buy would be.... just my thoughts...

Oh, didn't see the pics of the other batteries earlier. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that Galilio battery is more like a 1200-1400mah battery. I have 4 in my desk at home, 2 have never been used. The best batteries that fit under the stock door are Anker and Chichitec. Both are rated at 1900mah and definitely outlast the stock battery. They are identical in performance and are shipped from California. I have the Anker brand myself. You can get 2 batteries and an external charger for under $30 shipped from eBay. If searching for Anker, search "Sensation Anker battery". Sensation and Evo 3D use the same battery, not sure why Anker doesn't outset them for the 3D also. If you look there are a few threads on these batteries with nothing but good reviews and everyone says they outlast stock. Good luck, and sorry about your Galilio purchase, but there aren't bad to put back for emergency situations

There is no difference in performance between Lithium Ion and Lithium Polymer. The advantages of Li-ion polymer over the lithium-ion design include potentially lower cost of manufacture, adaptability to a wide variety of packaging shapes, reliability, and ruggedness. They can also be dangerous. When punctured, Li-Po batteries react quickly by smoking and causing large fires.

Don't think so. Pretty sure it is Lith-Ion.

Lol, they are fine for back ups, would rather trash a crappy battery than my charger cable, fits in the pocket better too
But for how cheap they are they are worth it, I got 3 galilio batteries as pictured above for 14.99 free shipping...
Even at a total of 2600-2800mah total that should outlast the stock battery np, I bought them knowing what they were with no issue, cheap batteries for a cheap price, but they work

Very true! Like I said, my Galilio batteries stay in my desk at home most of the time. Although, I do use them for emergency situations. Today is a perfect example. I left home in Georgia, Friday evening, to come down to Jacksonville Florida for the Bulldogs vs Gators game. Left my hotel early this morning to tailgate before the game and just got back to the hotel a few minutes ago. I was using my phone very very heavily for photos, videos, internet, games, calls, texts, basically everything. I carried my Galilio batteries in my pocket today just in case I used up my Anker batteries and stock HTC battery. I didn't have to use them, but it was nice to be able to do what ever I wanted with my phone today with out having to worry about conserving battery life. The Galilio batteries definitely served their purpose today!!!!

Anybody ever tried this battery? Or know what the mah is? I just bought one, figured I'd take it back to the store if it doesn't last long. Promises 2x battery life over stock.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Platinu...49690628&skuId=2768037#tabbed-customerreviews
I am also interested in anyone's experience with this battery. Probably going to order one now anyway. I see it is Li-po, but don't see mAh's.
Thanks for the link.
3500mah its good I got one

It says $69..... And why don't you guys just buy a second stock size battery instead of one of these brick like batteries?
It's a seidio. They repackage them under the Platinum name for best buy. It will say Seidio somewhere on the packaging, and possibly the product. I had a seidio for my hero, and my battery life more than doubled. I went from daily charging, to charging every other, or every third day, depending on usage.
What happened to the $29 price?
Sales change on Sundays.
i have that one and i only payed $30......it works really good.
Bought here... kinda cheap in my 2 cents
I have ATT 50% discount for accessories but the battery itself already 30-15 = $15. This one beats it.
Hope i can't go wrong for $13.99. If yes i at least still have the charger
http://www.ebay.com/itm/320857279405?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_517wt_1395
I bought this and I do not regret it. They work great. Not a bad investment at all.
There is also a company called ferocity
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ferocity-2x...ccessories&hash=item3a6f87d5ef#ht_1822wt_1400
$11.99 free shipping. It is a U.S. seller. Fast shipping. Purchased monday and received on friday. I bought both of these and still came in under what AT&T charges for one battery and now I have four extra batteries and 2 external chargers. Win. The best part is the Note has awesome battery life so having this many batteries is overkill.

2x oem?? For 15?!! What a bargain! I may have to bite
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
Pretty sure this are fakes... But I am still considering buying them
I tried those ones before and they are pretty poor in fact. They are fake if people are questioning. Can't seem to hold charge after 4 days of use.
I checked these QCell ones on Amazon and they work very well for me. Getting around the same amount of battery life as my OEM. Using these as my primary nowadays

I was looking at extended batteries and i originally found one at acessoryswamp (search 3500MAH Extended Life HTC Evo 3D Battery i can't post the link) because it looks legit. I really don't want ot pay 10$ and get ripped off so i'm going to bit the bullet and pay a little more.
Then I found this on sale (again can't post the link search "HTC EVO 3D Premium Extended Battery with Back Cover (3500mAh Grade A Cell) By HHI" on handhelditems.com
it seems almost too good to be true. Seeing as how i have never bought from the site, i really can't confirm that this is on sale, or if it is a fake battery with a fake sale to get people to buy. Has anyone bought from them before or preferably this battery and want to tell us its the real deal? It just seems too good to be true that its a real batter on sale for 10$
I highly recommend the platinum x2 extended batteries. They're made by Seidio, even says so on my battery. Normally found at best buy for around $70ish. I just bought one on amazon for $20 as well as some other things to get free shipping. I've been using the battery for a week now and it has been great. It has 2 bad reviews on amazon and don't see why. One said the phone got hot. I don't see how this happens either. Mine is in a otterbox defender and hasn't gotten warm.
As I'm posting this I have 17 hrs on my battery and 80% battery left. I've sent 24 texts and used 60 mins today. I paid $75 at best buy for my platinum x2 for my original evo 4g. I'm thrilled I got a great battey for so cheap. Especially what I paid for my last one. Even at $75 it was worth every penny when you need your phone for work. Here's a link to the one on amazon I just bought.

I can't comment on the battery in question by the OP, but I have shopped with handheld items in the past on more than one occasion and have never had an issue with them. They do ship USPS though, so that kinda sucks.
