For those that are always looking for more battery life and do not mind carrying a extra piece of hardware. I have recently purchased the Anker2 external battery found at this link: http://www.amazon.com/8400mAh-Exter...PRQ4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1328040410&sr=8-2
This lasted me on a 12 hour+ trip with juice to spare. its relatively small and can fit in a pocket of small bag. Just putting it out there for the community as an option.
Great Recommendation
This definitely is a great recommendation. I bought it last week and have been using it. Love the battery charger. Better investment than spare batteries out there.
Thanks for the heads up!
Thought it's great for my upcoming trip! Having to carry the cable around is a bummer, but better than constantly opening the battery door I guess!
Has anyone here bought the 2000mAh Extended batteries?
How long do they run for??

I got the cable that retracts to save space. The battery itself is not that big.

I use something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002SXCFTQ/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/177-7385370-1542620
Or just use your charging cable that comes with the phone. The one I have was for ease of travel.

Yea, I've tried all those apps, task killers, battery savers. Battery life is my least concern now since I have batteries.
My problem is connections. In high 4G areas I'm usually only getting 3g and I get a lot of no data connections.

Dayum. How do you charge all those?
Just a suggestion, see how your battery life fares if you keep your screen brightness under 25% (if you can).
I use two wall chargers. I average 3-4 batteries a day which works out well for me. I've tried the lowest setting I could possibly go with still seeing the screen, didn't seem to help much believe it or not.
Since I've gotten the backup batteries I just have it on auto brightness now.
Aside from the battery life, I'm more concerned now about the limited 4G I get and no data at all at times.
I would also think even though the battery cover is built well, I think it will wear out from all the removals.

If this hasn't happened to you yet., and it's going to happen to you later. You have been messing with your phone without looking at your battery levels and mid rom flash you are out of juice, your phone won't charge. The charger appears to be working but the phone just won't charge.
I used to have a droid x and you have to use a special tool by Motorola to change the os on it. It requires you to be plugged in but sometimes won't charge your phone. Mid update my phone ran out of juice, I had a spare battery but the phone wouldn't turn on or charge. After many desperate appempts I found a fairly easy solution.
The trick is you find any usb cable you don't want.. You strip the end with the adapted part of the usb.. You cut the green and yellow wires.. You put the black wire on the negative terminals and the red wire on the positive terminals
This should give your battery enough energy to start itself up if you hold the wire on the terminals for a minute.. Although I'm not sure if this damages the battery.. I would only use this in case of an emergency,

yep, have 8 extended batteries right now. Don't think I'm running out of juice!
What if you could wire the batteries together is some way to make a 1 week shoe box sized battery. That would be worth buying... If you wanted to carry it around
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
They already make these "brick" charging devices. Not a shoe box, just a large battery that can charge your phone multiple times before it needs to be recharged. Pretty sure I have seen a 8000mah and higher.

That's some good life there. How do you like dealing with the extra weight of that? Also is the case a rubber feel or smooth? I'm trying the ZL 3000 because I wasn't sure about the extra bulk and read it covers the speaker.

The battery has a small area cut into it to path the speaker out the bottom of the phone. It sounds pretty loud to me, but I will have to swap back to the original battery to check the difference.
I have gone 3 days of pretty medium usage. Its definitely an impressive battery!

Yep same here through my second cycle now. When it gets to 1% I power off remove battery and replace and power on to 4-15%. Normally run a battery waster app to drain. Been meaning to exercise same principle to charging but lazy about it. When I get through 5 cycles I'll probably check out one of the calibration apps. Crossing fingers...

This thing is a beast! This is first day after initial charge. Pretty heavy use. Stock battery would still be going as well but with only maybe 25% instead of 77%.
I did notice that my percentage actually goes up by 1% occasionally even I turn screen off. You guys get that as well?
My battery has gone from 63% to 67% in the last hour. Lol

So far so good! Previously on my stock battery I used to get 7 hours max on heavy use ..running aokp 4.4.2 rom on HSDPA+ connection ..now I surpassed 7 hours and still 80%!
The only downside so far that it takes lots of time to recharge (unless you put the capacity in consideration )

The brand name is meaningless since it's a Chinese aftermarket battery, they all probably come out of the same back garden factory in Shenzen. Just pick the cheapest one you can find.

Thanks for the info
in really is about 5000mah i think..... maybe initially was better, after 3 montsh of use life decreased a little.
it is a good battery better than original. but it is 2 battery IN PARALLEL.
1 battery chinese WILL NEVER BE 3200mah like original. so it it is 2500 real....................... 2500 x 2 = 5000 mah about. a good amount, not the promised 7800.
