My Rezound will be here Wednesday.
I am wondering who bought the extended run battery and what kinda of improvement you saw.
When i got the extended battery for my dinc it made a large difference.
I dont know how much better the Rezound will do verses what the dinc did on battery life.
Wondering what to expect,
What are you guys getting for bat life,

I have the ext battery and never use it. I get about 15+ hours average with this battery. I would say get it if you will not be around a charger for over 10+ hours or if you will be doing heavy video watching and gaming. I use my phone fairly heavily and get plenty of life from the standard with the ROM and kernel I'm running. The longest I've seen from my battery now is around 23 hours. The shortest I've seen lately was about 10 hours.

Im sure the rom and kernel you are running helped out a lot.
i will be running Nil's gingersense, i ran his roms on my Dinc without any issues.
Thanks for the info, no need to waste the money if its not needed.

I got two extended batteries and an extra external charger and just swap batteries everyday haven't had a need to plug in the phone for a while.

I have the extended battery. I only pop it in when I am going to be solely on 4G for more than 8-10 hours. I keep it in my truck fully charged incase I need it. Other than that I get about 15-20+ hours on the stock battery with moderate usage. Last night I had been on battery for 14 1/2 hours and still had 67%. Of course, I was on WiFi the whole time as I never left my house.
I have the extended battery and love it...I get 24+ hours from a full charge, and I never have to worry about it running out. I frequently ran out of battery with the stock battery. I think it's worth the peace of mind and being able to work your phone if you need to without having to use measures such as turning off data or something life that. It's not even that big that it would be worth a thought. If it's still half price, it's a no brainer.

Without going into whether or not you need it, I would get to your Verizon store and buy it while its half price. You have 14 days to return it.
Personally, I didn't like the bulk and lack of cases. I am going to try and stick with the standard battery for now. I returned the extended. I may be wrong but time will tell.
In terms of what people are saying here about battery life with the extended battery, I agree.
FYI... the extended battery doesn't seem to add weight, just bulk.
...Sent from my Tab
It's not that bad size wise. I only notice it when going back to stock from extended. My phone feels tiny in my hand, lol.
If you can get it for 25 bucks why not get it?

I was thinking that it would be hard to find covers for it
I work in construction so I have have done in the past is buy a cover for the phone and also buy a leather holster and clip it to my work belt, i have dropped my dinc multiple times from around 8' and nothing has ever happened to it.
If I get the extra bulk Im wondering if I can find that type of setup
the 1/2 off price is Real tempting
I'm a pretty heavy user of the muliti-media aspects for my phones so when I bought my new Rezound a couple days ago I bought the Verizon sourced 1750 extended battery and cover. It's my backup up I know I'll be using it frequently going forward.
I upgraded from my original AMOLED dinc. I love my Dinc and I love this new Rezound.
They have the holster/case for the extended battery in the store.

I will need to check that out,
I looked online for the Rezound ext battery and could not find anything on the VWZ website.
thanks for the info
They pulled it down because people were exploiting some loophole to get it for $5. I figured it would have been back up by now though.
I picked up an extended battery a couple of weeks ago while they were on sale, and definitely appreciate the extra use time it gives me over the standard battery.
That much said, I'll be sticking with the smaller battery under most circumstances, mostly because I prefer the Seidio Surface case that will not accommodate the extended battery. The Verizon case that fits the thicker back leaves the top and bottom of the phone exposed, which makes me a bit nervous in the event of a fall. I'd love it if Seidio would make an extended Surface case.

It's definitely worth it as long as you can get it for $25, i just got one a few days ago. I like to run my phone at full power and brightness so it's great, I got 27 hours yesterday (9 hours awake) at full brightness and 1.8 GHz while the screen was on, but then again I was on wifi also.

Hey everyone,
I currently have both extended and not extended battery.
Was wondering what everyone else is using.
Edit:
Apparently i didnt attach the poll, lame : /
I have 3 regular batteries and a battery only charger. Didn't want to deal with a fatter phone, it barely fits in the case as it is.
I'm looking into getting that PowerSkin when its avilible for the thunderbolt. I got sick of how ugly the Extended made the phone look.
Just the one standard batt that it came with here. I keep looking for the charging stand that come with and extra standard batt though. VZW has them for Charge and Revolution but not Tbolt though. It's 3g only where I am and I get a solid day out of my phone easily.

Extend.

standard with extra battery plus battery charger dock.
I use the one that came with phone mostly but I also got the extended from VzW and love it!
I use the extended i like that it makes it a little thicker. Still have my stock battery n cover incase this one dies.. wish I would have looked around a little more n saw the 3500 mah I think it is. Woulda been way better then 2750
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I use both, but like the extended better. I think my stock battery might have been faulty from the factory. My extended battery lasts approximately 3 or 4 times longer than the factory battery when nothing else has changed. I've calibrated my battery and cycled it correctly, etc... I use the stock battery sometimes strictly because I have the Best Buy Platinum case, which will eventually be replaced by something better but similar, and its really convenient.
With both batteries though, I make through at least an entire work day on a charge with my settings set up properly. I bought the extended battery when I got the phone, and it was only lasting part of a day on a full charge, but by the time Verizon shipped the extended battery I had learned enough to set my phone up correctly and avoid excessive battery drain.
I'm currently running BAMF Sense 3.0 Ginger with MR2 radio
I have the stock battery. 10-12 hrs gets me through my day.
I haven't mastered the voodoo necessary to get the stock battery through the day without a charger, but I can master it on the extended. So I keep the original in reserve and my Seidio cases keep my TB with the extended safe.
Stock for me. Gets through a 10 hour day of moderate use with no problems on latest roms.
Yea I went with two stock batteries and the New Trent IMP1000. It seemed to get the best ratings and has the amps to be able to charge our phone right not like the 500milliamp ones. The two batteries seem to work fine for the day for now but soon I won't always have direct access to a charger that's why I bought the NT IMP1000. It was worth a shot.
-Dubsky
Stock battery for me, keep a charger with me at all times but most of the time it makes it through a day at work with minimal use.
Im rocking the extended battery, i unplug it in the morning and go the entire day without charging. When i go to bed that night its usually around 60 or 50 percent battery and i dont charge it. Usually need to plug it in before i go to bed the next night.
Recently ive been running my stock battery unless I know im going to be out that day using my phone a lot of if i go into 4G coverage areas.
Extended. A little bulky, yes...but now my mind is free of constantly looking at battery life on standard. I charge overnight, wake up and go about my business.
Extended and couldn't be happier. I work.at Best Buy and got the extended battery that just came out, its actually made by Sedio, but I'm loving it. I went almost 5 hours and was down to 72%. Battery Left Widget estimates 18-19 hours on a charge. So worth the extra size.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I have the extended and love not having to worry about being near a charger 24/7. There is some added bulk, but it really isn't that bad. The only thing I don't like is that with the Seidio case, it uses its own plastic kickstand instead of the nice built-in one.
After 2 days of use the stock Rezound battery can easily last me 10+ hours of use, so I've been on the lookout for a higher capacity battery that keeps the slim profile of the phone, as opposed to the larger 2750mAh external pack that adds a hump to the back.
Stumbled upon this today:
http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-rezound-extra-capacity-battery-1800mah.html
An extra 180mAh puts it close to what the GNexus would ship with, and just might be enough of a boost for the light/moderate users. I'm just hoping that the rating is indeed 1800mAh and not one of those cheap knock-offs that can barely keep up with the stock 1620mAh.

Ive had my eye on that battery as well, wont be instock till next week though, since the thunderbolt battery fits in this phone I have been contemplating buying one of the slimmer extended batteries used for it and using it in the rezound, atleast they are already tried and tested so we know which ones are working as advertised.
you must be a minimal user to get the battery to last that long.
after doing some streaming(or downloading), watching some videos & browsing the web, the phone lasts about 2 - 3 hours w/ stock.
(yes i know about bump charging, calibrating, etc)
strange, the battery is no longer listed on the htcpedia rezound accessory page, but the link still works

If the 1800 is a good quality battery and can fit in the standard back plate I'm down to get it. get about 4.5 hours is display on time right now so I'm cool with that. But if it was 5 or more I'd be even more down lol.

2 to 3 hours?!? wtf? My battery lasted 26 hours on a full charge before it died! That was setting up the phone after a factory reset and then streaming high quality music over slacker at various times. I set the phone to airplane mode while I was sleeping.
So did any1 ever get their hands on this one?

I am wary about any off brand batteries that list only small gains like that. Seeing as how there is no HTC branding, I am betting this is an off brand.

I have to think that legit companies like Seidio don't do this when they sell extended batteries.
Their 1750 for the Eris/Incredible (came with 1300mah) really did seem to add hours of life to the usability of the phones. I must assume that some companies rate things in terms of usability, and some do _not_
pko, i had that 1750, and it didn't do crap. the life of it lasted much less than HTC batteries did; seideio makes crap batteries that are a sham. many people did studies and found it was barely a 1400 mah battery. i bought the stock HTC 1500 mah battery fort he inc and it added more time than the 1750.

I had the same exact experience.
For those who fail to see increased usage time using non-oem batteries, could you mention also the brand of those batteries? I am in the market for a larger-capacity battery (only when they will come out in the near future, I hope). And based on the reviews on Amazon there are a couple of brands that seems to be receiving fairly consistent positive reviews.
I picked a pair of these up on ebay yesterday. Came with the charger (which is what I *really* want, as I already got a second stock battery on sale) and another power cord (which you can never have too many of).
I used similar OEM batteries in my Incredible, also 1800's which just barely fit inside the "default" back. I'll report back on my experience after I have them and run them for a few days. I did find that the ones in my Incredible ran pretty well.
I know everyone's pretty cautious about OEM stuff on ebay, but I only buy from USA sellers with near 100 ratings, and I have never been sorry. On the other hand, my Seidio extended battery pretty much burnt out about 9 months after I got it.

Beware the placebo effect. Also know that people have a tendency to try to justify their choices. Make a bad purchase and you find ways to turn it positive.
Those things can color reviews.

should come in today so i can see over the weekend if its any improbement.
EDIT: these register an error (the exclamation mark over the battery) and do not charge in the phone)
As much as I hated to do it, I found that simply disabling 4G extended my battery life a lot. I figure that 3G is fine for GPS or email, but if I want to download a file or something more intense, I can quickly enable 4G and then disable when I am done.
Not optimal, but it is free and most of the time basic tasks with low amounts of data being transferred don't really benefit from 4G, so why take the battery life hit if you don't have to?
When I want to stream a movie or something, or upload a large picture to FB, or maybe a video to YouTube, then I put 4G on and then it makes a big difference...
Looking into an extended battery, but I'm not too sure.
In a past experience, there wasn't much of a difference and it also crapped out after a couple months of use.
Can someone please suggest a good quality extended battery and also the advantage or extra usage time i would get with it.
Thanks!
I would suggest the HTC extended battery from Verizon. That would be your best bet.

I would second that. Especially when they have 50% off at Verizon store. I picked up 2 of the original htc 2750m bat. $25/ea.
25, really? I got mines for $30 at the local Verizon store. Oh, well.

Definitely go for the HTC battery.
I can run my phone at a constant OC of 1.8 GHz on GB or 1.7 GHz on ICS while it's awake (underclocked to 192 while screen is off) and full brightness for a good 30 to 40 hours on a single charge.
You are underclocked with set cpu, or are you using a different software?
I think most people are using CPU Master, Set CPU was having some issues on this phone. It may have been updated, not sure.
I use set cpu because the issues don't occur on ICS roms and the person who made SetCPU goes to my school

Keep in mind, the other poster was using underclocking which helps to extend the life of the battery while the screen is off.
Verizon had them for $30, but I'm not sure if they still do. Its worth a shot though.

My Verizon obtined HTC extended battery with cover showed up today. I actually thought it would be larger. It is charging now... Will see how it works out over the next day or two.
Planned on using it when I was on extended trips, but i do find the device a bit easier to hold with the extended battery on, though it is a bit heavier.

Where did you order the extended battery? I talked w/ a chat sales rep and they told me it was 59.99.
I've done this twice now..
Go to the store, get the battery. Rep says it's really $30 because the system says so or at least it says it was $60 originally. The box is labeled $49.99 so tell them the math and you win. I've had to do this with two of them. One rep was a complete ass and I don't care if it was $5 I didn't want to give him money so I just went to another store.
Played with the extended battery all day today. Was pretty good, but found at times the phone felt heavy while using it. Today was a good test because I was out most of the day and had to make a lot of calls (relative passed away today)... so I was away from any power sources and really needed my phone.
However, even with a heavier phone, I had no issues or worries about battery life. When I got home, I still had 79%. In the past with the original battery, without a lot of what I did today, I would typically have 30% left when I got home.
As for ordering it, ... if you are logged into your Verizon account, apparently all you see as a best price at checkout is $49. However, if you log out of your Verizon account, and do the same thing, the battery and cover is $29.
I did the latter and got it for $30 with free shipping. It came in 2 days.
I ended up buying one because I was on a business trip and I accidently left my phone on and with wifi tether running while I was on the plain. Lol, and I was tripping about why my View was saying that phones network was on. So when I landed I headed I noticed I had about 20% left. I went to do a little shopping and ran into a Verizon store. I was going in with the intention of buying a normal battery.
They sales rep shows me the regular and the extended and tells me that the extended is on sale for 25% ($25) and the regular one was at regular price $29? Or 39. Can't remember but I said screw that give me the extended. When I popped it in it had about 45% that 45% lasted me about 16 hours, that was about 2 more hours then a regular one would do for me. Now I use it for my everyday use. I used to have the thunderbolt before the rezound so I was used to a bit of bulk. I did not mind it at all. It is still incredibly light and fits great in my hands, I actually like the feel better then with the regular battery. 100% fully charged on the extended battery I see 30+ hours of higher than moderate use, and 24+ hours with heavy use(4g, screen on for about half that time, wifi tether on, GPS navigation, and many calls, texts, and lots of web surfing, on that 3day trip alone I gulpped up 8gb, thank god for unlimited data ).
My opinion on the extended battery? Get it.

I bought the mugen extended battery for the thunderbolt. It definitely did last longer then the OEM one but, when the rezound came out I bought a extra battery and that one lasted MUCH longer on the thunderbolt. That mugen battery didn't work right on the rezound so I didn't need it when I sold the rezound. I bought an oem extended battery for my rezound and I love it.

just got this battery today im a heavy user, ill post results next week
Im interested in seeing the results, I have been thinking of getting a larger battery, but did not want the larger cover and the bulk that comes with it
Still waiting to hear real results, plus how the temperature is.
Also looking forward to the results.
I am too. I would get one if it was actually better than stock.
I believe in the past the problem with third party batteries was the not the initial performance but the extremely short life span of the battery. Over time batteries will gradually loose their ability to hold a charge. So buyer beware, these batteries may be great for the first month or two then significantly drop off.
Good luck
anyone have this battery for a decent amount of time? I am all for just a little more battery, without the bulk of the extended.
How does it work!?!?
My Results!
Here are my results from today. I've had the battery since Monday, so I gave it few days before doing this. At the rate I used it today (Texts, Calls, 4G Use), it would have been dead by the 5 hour mark. Also, 111 is the lowest my phone has ever been when using Wireless Tether. I still text a lot while it's doing that too, and it's always at 120 or slightly above, so that seems to be an improvement as well.
initial impressions
Street putting it through is paces it sends like I am getting about 2 to 3 hours extra life compared to the 1620 battery...I have had it since Monday.
Just got mine last night, initial impression is that it lasts a few hours longer. I was at about 40% at 5 hours 30 mins, at which time I was usually at around 25-20%

I recently got the 1900 mugen batt and I just dled this app and it says my battery is 1590mah. I was wondering if i got ripped or the app is inaccurate. I will dl another battery app and double check it.
Just wanted to see if I have the same battery everyone else has.

Mine said the same thing, but running it through some tests, it definitely last longer than the stock battery.
I am getting about 7-8 hours of normal use out of this battery, which is a few hours longer than the stock. One thing to note, however, and I'm not sure why, but last night I let it get down to the 15% warning and at 10% it just died and wouldn't turn back on. Charged up and we're fine now, so I'm not sure what happened.

I am too. I would get one if it was actually better than stock.

Well I can't officially say this battery is noticeably better than the stock. I am getting a solid 3 to 4 hours better battery life. I have had it for a week now and the placebo effect is gone.

3-4 better is pretty good.
I wish someone would do a video rundown test in airplane mode.

You have to calibrate your battery before you'll really see it's full potential.
Wife is loving the One XxX rom sense camera; (I would like to try other possibly lighter Sense Roms but that is a different story..) - Need a better AOSP camera..
Just not happy with the 1620 battery life.. (using snuzzo's kernel helped battery life greatly as well..)
(we're taking the train to NYC and CT for classes and battery life is sucking; already doing 3G cdma (prl auto))
Looking at extended batteries.. (or new phones - batteries are cheaper..)
Amazon has a Laza 3240 (currently about $25 with the back)
[Q] Does anyone have this? Assuming it works how's the added extra bulk and such?
[Q] And what then about a case/holster/"Otterbox" type thing? Suggestions?
I have the oem Verizon extended and I use it on days when I don't see a charger for lengthy periods. I leave it on auto brightness and 4G and I get close to 4 hours screen time. Sometimes more. I dislike the bulkiness and people do ask me what's up with my phone..Lol
I prefer the 1620 battery for slimness but sometimes you gotta humble yourself and get the extended.
I also bought the Verizon oem extended battery when I bought the phone--it was on sale for half price--$25. It is bulky but when you need the juice, it does the trick. I also purchased the extended battery holster that Verizon sells at the same time. The Verizon battery is 2750 but easily last all day.
I bought the extended battery from Amazon (2750mAH). I use it with an Otterbox Defender. Definitely an improvement over the stock battery, but nothing profound. The phone will last me approx. 8-10 hours with medium use (playing music during my 35-40 min commute each way, texting, occasional web browsing). Timeout 30 seconds, auto-brightness on. I also use Juice Defender Ultimate/Set CPU to help with my battery life though. The bulk of the extended battery and defender case is definitely noticeable, but I personally prefer a large phone. I like having some weight to what I'm holding. It can be a chore to get it out of pockets on tighter fitting pants, and the silicon back has a tendency to come unset from the screen protector. However, it's not enough for me to stop using it. I'd recommend getting it still -- it's better than having to replace a screen (a lesson I learned twice before buying one).
@OP and other people too
How long does your stock battery last? Are you able to get through your day?
I was thinking of getting a stock battery but then I am not sure if it'll be enough for me or not. I am usually away from charger for 10 hours straight.

I'm lucky if my stocker lasts me more than 5-6 hours of medium use. 3-4 hours of heavier use (heavy web browsing and texting) on a good day. 30 second timeout, autobrightness on running juice defender ultimate/setCPU to conserve.

Agreed. With Snuzzo's latest Funky Kernel and Juice Defender running custom settings, I get about the same with the stock battery. I tend to keep the phone charging while in the office.
On weekends or when travelling I use the extended battery or even a Hyperion 3500 mAmp and that gets me through the entire day (but not necessarily "an" entire day, i.e. 24 hours).
One thing to be careful of with OEM batteries is the back, since the back has the antennae. The Hyperion back is useless -- I my Hyperion battery with the official Verizon supplied back with the extended battery.

That is some damned good advice. As soon as you said that I was like.. Duh!
How do you like the hyperion battery compared to the OEM extended?

I'd say the Hyperion gives me approx. 20% more than the OEM extended all other things being equal, however, on at least one occasion, I found the Hyperion battery was misreporting how much juice it had left, and all of a sudden I got a crazy 5% alert (after a long time trying to run the battery down). That's purely ballparking it, and remember 43% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

I have the OEM Verizon extended as well. People ALWAYS comment on my brick phone. I hate it how big it is, and I still find it BS that the Iphone 5 can run all day on an internal, the droid razor maxx can run all day on an internal, but I have to have a brick to make it all day. Anyway I have a very low signal with no wifi at work, so if I can't charge it immediately after work, or need to go out at night, I definitly use the the brick....I mean extended. Lasts all day with heavy use. It really is the best option if you can't get to a charger. Mostly thought I use the stock battery, and give it a boost on the charger so I have plenty of power in the evening. I use the VZW silicone case with the extended battery and it protects it pretty well.
I have the Laza extended battery. Works great, but with all the use, the back cover doesn't fully clip on (top left has a bit of a gap) and the ring around the headphone jack broke. Neither of these interfere with the usage. Battery life is definitely longer than the stock battery. I always slap it in before I go somewhere where I might not be able to charge and it hasn't failed me yet.
Even i got the laza extended battery from amazon(3250mAh).It is definitely better but its cover doesnt fit properly and phone becomes very very bulkier.I would instead suggest the 1750 mAh laza battery from amazon.They ship two units with a battery charger and a case to hold everything!And most importantly it does not require another back door,fits with stock back cover.Havent tried it but i think having a spare charged battery in pocket is far better than carrying a brick weight all the time

I used the OEM extended battery for a few months and got used to the bulk. It was ok but never as good as I thought it should be.
A few months ago I bought the LAZA extended battery and like it a lot more. It can get me through a day much, much better than the OEM extended battery. I kept the oem back cover though because I didn't like the "laza" printed on theirs. Works the same.
Last week I finally got a replacement rezound to fix the proximity sensor problem and wanted to try the slim thing again.
I'm trying the Laza standard size battery. It's rated better than the oem standard battery and for $23 you get 2 batteries & a charger.
It's not nearly as good as extended but is definitely an improvement over oem. Time will tell.
Anybody know where to get the OEM cover only for the extended batteries? I ordered the Laza battery w/ cover and it should be here today, but I keep reading all kinds of hit or miss signal with the provided cover. So I guess I'm just hoping I get a good cover that actually works, and if not, I'll be wanting the OEM one. Any ideas are appreciated. Also, on a side note, HTC.com no longer even shows anything for the Rez. Sad, really.

Sadly, eBay is probably your best best for Rezound accessories now.

Yea, kinda figured. I've been scoping it out the last couple days, but unfortunately for me, nobody is selling the cover alone. Fingers crossed for a good Laza one!!! Although one of the reviews on amazon for it said a guy had problems with the cover and they sent him a new one with a free case. That would be sweet! Lol.

Zarboz the developer might sell one. I think the OEM cover is a good idea though.Have you tried adjusting the brass fittings and terminals or making some slight tweaks to make the terminals meet better. Several guys did that with foil spacers a while back that worked good for the life of the phone.
Also check with Verizon. I bought my extended battery and cover for like $20 bucks when the phone was popular. If it's been reduced or on their battery special or something it might be cheaper than ebay and shipping, or a little more expensive but worth it since you can walk in and get it, or hell test drive it in the store and see if it seems to help any before ordering it.
Haven't gotten the battery yet. Still out for delivery. Just hoping I get a good one. From reading experiences and reviews from others, some work perfectly, others need replacement covers. Hopefully it arrives before I go home for the day, and I'll know for sure. Thanks for the tip tho. May try and make a trip to a VZ store in the next couple days if need be. I just saw they had nothing on the site. Didn't even think about going in.
How often do you replace your batteries I have had the 2750mah battery for a while now and now I struggle to get a full day. I guess I am trying to figure out if it is related to the different roms or time for a new battery.
