Yes, the T-Bolt batteries will fit. Standard size batteries will NOT charge in your Rezound. Extended batteries will fit the Rezound extended battery cover, and WILL charge in your Rezound.
VZW is still selling (I think) a standalone battery charger for $5, so if you have a bunch of T-Bolt batteries and want to use them, that is a simple way to keep them charged.
I'm not seeing good battery life at all out of my T-Bolt batteries. Yes, I realize they have a smaller capacity than the Rezound, but I'm only getting about 2 hours of use before the T-Bolt batteries die. Still, they make good backups.
seriously, i don't see how you tolerate doing the whole battery swap bit. granted i used to do that for awhile with my Thunderbolt, but once i upgraded to that 4500mAh battery i swore i'd never do the swap bit again.
right now i'm considering getting that 2750mAh Rezound battery, but $60 is a tad high... i hope something else comes out soon.
I hate swapping out. I'm getting a solid day out of the T-Bolt extended batteries. But, I hate being without extras, so it's nice to throw a couple of batteries in the glovebox, bag, pocket, etc.
Swapping is far better than having a giant ugly phone that doesn't fit in your pocket and still have to have tethered to a charger for hours at a time. 2 extra batteries and a standalone charger and you never have to charge your phone, you never have to worry about how much battery you have, just let it die and swap it out. Extended batteries dont last all day either with heavy use but two standard batteries will and you always have a 3rd battery waiting when you get home if you go nuts and god forbid watch two full length movies.

Do you get the battery warning icon using those batteries? If so, I would recommend NOT using them. Its not a good idea.

The 2750mAh HTC battery is half off at corporate Verizon stores, and should have a MSRP of $49.99 not $60.

Not with the extended T-bolt batteries. They charge while in the phone, and the battery icon works.

So here's the deal. I bought two 3500mah batteries for $24 bucks off ebays "buy it now". They're cheap chinese 1billion made type batteries but last 36 hours. 17 avg off my 1930mah stock so worth the $25 in my eyes.
Here's my issue. I've installed cm7 beta with new battery in at %100. I've wiped stats at %100. Let it die and recharge without interruption. Wiped battery stats numerous times. Cmw and the calibration application. My issue persists. I will have the same "stats" as my stock battery but with a huge "reserve". By reserve I mean I will be at %1 for 7 hours or more. I can't be the only one.

I'm having similar issue with a "2000mah" battery off ebay. Lasts aboue twice as much at 1% vs. 100% to 2%. I've noticed that battery is around 3900-3800mV when it first reaches 1%. and phones shuts off around 3400mV...

interesting, will try that.
the odd thing is that the original battery goes dead at 3400mV also...
I wonder how these things work. Does the phone "remember" different batteries, or is it just the same "calibration file" for any battery plugged in? if that's the case, then we cannot use "spare" batteries then?

All modern lith ion batteries max out around 4200mv (anymore and they risk exploding) and are considered "empty" at 3400-3300 depending on the manufacture, if they decharge anymore they won't charge again. I'm guessing there's a calibration chip in the battery that's messed up on the Ebay batteries or something of that sort. If you were to but an OEM battery the battery life gauge works just fine.
Think of it like this mV is how full you're gas tank is in you're car 4200 full 3400 empty. Now every car can be 100% full but every car doesn't have the same size tank or Mah in this case. So basically you switched the gas tank on your car with a bigger one but didn't change how it reads how full your tank is so basically you need to guess by your mV.

Battery is awesome. Been in since 8am and it's right under 50%(I'm a heavy user). I'm going to test this battery back to back with the stock one and show results maybe Monday. Got the charger for the battery, works fine for me.

That's how it works (and has been stated no less than 200 times in the 30 or so threads addressing the issue. You either buy original, or have to charge externally. For me, having to use a dock-charger is utter BS. I don't have the time nor desire to remove the battery from the phone to let it recharge. Carrying multiple batteries is just silly. If you're going to go through that hassle to save a couple bucks cool, or you could just carry a second OEM battery. Guess some people put a different value on things tho.
These looks like the same ones I got from amazon a while ago ($16 for 3 batteries + charger), you can see my complaint here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298380
The batteries are cheap and very generic, I junked one 2 days afterwards as that one with it charged to 100%, it lasted maybe 6 hours. It also charges in like an hour. The other 2 batteries, i would say that it last about 60% of the OEM, getting about 20 hours from them with about 1.5 hours of screen time. Still, its usable, but I did not find them to be as strong as the OEMs.
I hope you have better luck with yours...
Hello guys,
I purchased one of these and so far so good. I'm running an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II- with "ICScrewD Red Edition UCKH7" Rom
The battery is able to charge while the device is operational without boot loops.
After the first charge I ran cpu/memory/gpu stress tests serveral times during the day, kept BT, WI-FI and GPS on while on the road, streamed music, watch videos, set display to max and time out to 2 minutes to expedite discharge basically above normal use.. The baterry lasted 20 hours under those conditions.
After a second full charge the cellphone have been running on battery for 28 hours with almost 4 hours of display time and is showing 56% battery charge left.
The back cover fits perfectly. The only thing I would like to find is a travel charger for it. I bought a GTMAX charger but the battery does not fit in it. I can only charge regular size batteries on the travel charger.
Hope this helps others looking for an extended battery.

3600mah?! that's intense. Would you mind posting up a few picks to compare the thickness of the phone with that on vs Stock? Thanks
No problem. Will do once at home a little later.
Don't know if I want to trust another battery from Qcell as far as what capacity they rate it.
Bought a supposed 1950 mah battery through them and it turns out that it's really only 1650 mah. While the battery performance is on par with stock which is fine, if you buy it under the pretense that it'll get you better battery life, stay away.

When I look at those pictures, all I see is this
Are you going to get some sort of bumper or case to go along with that? I'm interested to see if the battery door/cover from other 3000+mAh batteries would work with this one - like the one from the GT Max.
I'm going to use the SGP Neo Ex with the battery. I tried the tpu case for extended battery packs but it didn't fit. The back cover of the gtmax didn't fit my phone correctly.

nice bat. What about the first uses? should you discharged full and then charged till 100%? or you should use it normally till like 40% and then recharged full? (40% to don't degrade the battery life)

[edit] gah darn you hehe =p
ended up getting me to buy it XD
I figure, hmm... if there's ever a time we're(family/friends) not by an outlet for a couple of a days $20 battery would come in handy
which is unusual for this date and time so I wasn't sure. such a borderline impulse buy
This is nice for emergencies. Good buy for $20. Although I don't need it for day-to-day use. By the time I go to ebd and plug my phone in I'm still at 25-35% most of the time.
My thought is, sure you don't need it daily. Maybe for emergencies... but you have to carry it with you everywhere for emergencies, then you need to wait for your phone to charge. I would rather carry a spare battery that is already fully charged.
You can use that to charge other things also, but then again, you have to wait for it to charge. Pretty much everywhere you travel will have an outlet.
But $20... whatever, no use thinking about it too long. My .02 would be carry a already charged spare battery for emergencies.

Kmashi 9600 mAh external battery
i got this battery and have been using it for more than a month now
http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-HTC-Ama...US_Rechargeable_Batteries&hash=item4ab8058874
if that link dies you can search ebay for "kmashi 9600"
ive seen prices for the same model vary from $25 to $45 on ebay
its a 9600 mah battery. they also make a 11,200 mah version. kmashi seems to be a chinese company that makes batteries.
its not heavy, its just a little bit bigger than the rezound, and it comes with 10 adapters to charge other devices.
somehow, within 2 weeks, i was able to bend a pin in the micro usb adapter, rendering it useless. so i just charge my phone using the micro usb cable that the rezound came with
im on airplanes a lot and walk around a whole lot (walking around new york, biking, for hours at a time) and i love the battery. if i have my phone plugged into it, and the phone is at 14% or less and im playing GTA III, the phone will yell at me and say that the current from the power source is not enough to charge at the rate its being consumed. other than that, its been great
i dont mean to be rude but how is carrying around two regular devices better than carrying one slightly larger item...it seems kinda redundant to carry a battery to charge another battery, should we also carry a third battery to charge the second battery

Agreed.
Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on Sony's new battery packs/USB chargers? I've got one of their older smaller 2000mah capacity ones (here) but am looking at getting a larger one to keep in my bag to charge up my various USB devices on the go.

There's a few different capacities available.
7000mah CPF2LS
3500mah CPF1LS
4000mah CPA2LS
Anyone had any experiences with the new charger battery packs? My 2000mah is good but takes ages to recharge for some reason. Also wont fully charge my Z Ultra - I used to use it on my HTC One X. I know there are cheaper alternatives out there but I dont trust a lot of them as I think they falsely claim certain capacities. At least with the Sony ones you'd expect they really do have the advertised capacities.
I have the one in the picture you posted (7000 mAh). That's my review on the Amazon page you linked to (the long one). So far I haven't had to use it just a whole lot--I've never used its entire capacity in one charge cycle before, as I'm pretty conscientious about keeping my things charged --but it seems to be at least close to the advertised capacity. There's a little light on it that blinks between one and three times to roughly indicate the unit's remaining charge, with three times being "good" charge. I did one time use it to add about 30% to the Z Ultra's battery, and it was still blinking three times, if that means anything. If you want, maybe I'll use it exclusively to charge my stuff for a day or two and let you know how long it lasts.

Thanks for the detailed review on Amazon Any idea what the recharging time is like on this when it is completely flat? I'm guessing if it is 7000mah then it should be able to charge the Xperia Z Ultra at least twice from flat which is pretty good when travelling or just heavily using it. Also good to hear that it outputs 2.1A for faster charging. I'm pretty sure the standard Sony wall charge only outputs 1.5A which means the battery pack should actually charge the phone much quicker. Most other brand phone wall chargers are typically only 1A - it's generally only if you buy a tablet that you get 1.5A-2A wall chargers.
The Sony battery doesn't come with a wall charger does it?
No, I don't recall it coming with an AC adapter. I don't think it outputs 2.1 A unless you're charging two things simultaneously, but it charges fairly quickly. If you're not using it, I'd estimate it would charge the Z Ultra from 0 in about 2.5 hours or so. Maybe a little longer.
