Got my 3500 mAh battery a couple days ago. So far impressed, and is what I've needed. I couldn't go a 1/2 day with the 1750 mAh battery. Now I'm going 1.5 - 2 days before charges.
I am using the battery monitor app, but I'm not too keen on it's features. If there is something that you guys would like for me to look at, let me know. If I'm reading it right, I'm getting 13 hrs on this batter between charges.
BTW got the battery off of eBay ~8 w/ free shipping: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251060188877?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Don't know what is up with the pricing, but it is now stating $57 and change.
Yea it is the black and white one.
I'd recommend this one for considerably less. About 10ish from Amazon, 13 on eBay:
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/view...md=VIDESC&index=15&nav=SEARCH&nid=39658739379
Has an odd looking case but the non standard design allows it to continue to be used in docks and car docks.

Seidio Innocell 1900mAh
I am going to get the Seidio Innocell 1900mAh this week
I vouche for that laza battery. It is awesome works great
Honestly I couldn't go with a 1900. The extra 170mAh in my book is like throwing money away. In my case it would only give me another 1/2 of usage, and I would still be tied to a power outlet. Now I can go 3 days on one charge. When I get the time I'm going to cut out my Otter backing to allow me to use my Defender and cradle.
If the 4000mAh Seido battery weren't $50; compared to just $8 for a 3500 with backing, I would have gotten one. The longer I can go without charges the more I would inclined to go with a larger battery.
How long do the Laza batteries go for?
I'm using the Battery Monitor widget, but if someone could tell me where to look to see the estimation on battery life, I would post it up.

whats the best batterie for evo 3d ?
Most mAh (capacity) Seido 4000mAh
Best bang for the buck, eBay 3500mAh batteries. Just make sure that they are the black version, and come with an extended battery back.

Best as in what? Most power? Cheapest? Longest lasting? Best reliability?
Well guys, I may have spoken too soon. Seems that the 3500 that I bought just went dead...for good. Won't take a charge. Charging light just blinks red, and phone will not power on. Works fine with my old 1700mAh batter. And this is less than 14 days of use.

if its blinking i believe that means its super discharged and requires to be hooked up to the charger until it stops blinking. try leaving it on the charger for a few hours, see if it comes back.

Gonna need more info to this, as I have never heard of a battery being super discharged. Already contacted the seller. $2 for s/h and I get another batt, and don't have to send back the old one.
I'd recommend this one, Yoobao 3500mah Extended Battery, the quality of Mugen and Sedio at half the price. Dont be fooled by the CHEAP batteries that you need 2 of that may ruin your EVO 3d there is a reason why they are $9 and no warranty. http://dx-box.com/yoobao-sprint-htc-evo-3d-3500mah-extended-battery-plus-back-battery-cover-door.html

my bros EVO 4G stopped working (stock battery) and all it did was blink red while plugged in. we left it plugged in for a while and it wasnt coming back on....
so after looking it up we figured out that sometimes the battery dies and go way below startup charge levels. to indicated this HTC phones will blink red. so we crossed our fingers and left it plugged in for 4 hours. maybe a little less.. and it came back like nothing had happened. hasn't been a problem since..
my bro admitted he ran it down, but i suspect the phone thought he had 50 percent still when in fact it had less than 0%
make sure your using a USB AC Adapter, a computer will likely take twice as long if at all
Here is what I believe happened with your battery. Its voltage dropped below a preset value. As you left it in the phone and on the charge, as the charger blinked red, the battery stabilized. Think of it this way, you leave your lights on your car and you get a dead battery. If you let it sit for a bit, you may regain enough amps to start the car. Essentially same principle here.
ETA: I swapped back to my 3500mAh battery, after it sat out in the open for a couple days. It now takes a charge. Will report back on its capacity. I expect it to take 6 hours to fully recharge.

Well my stock battery gave me trouble... Just needed a kick start.... It wasn't even discharged. Just wanted to pretend it was.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29154356
So you guys just walk around without w case after you get the extended battery?
I can't decide if to get an extended battery ... (it will cause problems with my car phone stand and my dock, my kick stand case will be useless...) or buy another battery? Since I rooted I can't seem to get any decent battery performance

Here's what you do. Get an extended battery. Buy an Otter Box Defender. Take the back plate of the Defender and cut out the battery section. Wrap it with the silicone case. Now you can still use the Defender's cradel. The Otter Box Defender has a built in kickstand, not many people know of. All you do is use the belt clip and open it as wide as it will go. At that point the clip will lock open, and there you'll have a kick stand.
Just don't know if it will work with your car phone stand, but now you have a case, a kick stand, and extended battery.
Sounds promising. I'll be sure to check it out.
I didn't know about the belt clip either.

I have no clue bro, I just take my charger to work and plug that **** in.
Im guessing its because none of us have gotten our hands on the phone yet. I can tell you that I bought some aftermarket batteries for my 4G and they sucked pretty good and didnt last long at all. I ended up just buying an extra oem battery to carry around with me.
Hard to say. I have like 4 of these type of batteries (Made in China) for my Evo 4G, and if these are anything like those, you can expect the same battery life as the OEM battery.
I'll probably pick up a couple.
i hope the battery lasts a little bit longer than the EVO... i dont know y they cant make the batteries last atleast 6 or 7 hours lol

That is exactly how I use them as well and they are just as good as the OEM and way cheaper. Great value so far and I plan to do the same with the 3D.

ha i was coming here to ask the same thing since i was looking to have a backup battery on hand
Seidio Case/Battery coming...
For my 4G, I have the 3500maH battery and the ultra rugged case from Seidio.
Here's the page for similar products for the 3D.. Hope they are available soon
My experience with their battery has not been disappointing at all. Not quite the 30 or so hours people boast about in the forums, but still at least double that of the OEM battery. I suspect that's because now that I have the big ol' battery, I am using the power hungry features of the phone more frequently than before.
The phone is a little thicker with the new battery door, but it actually feels better in my hands with that extra depth. Feels less likely to slip out and drop.
A significant caveat is the battery gauge. Unless you leave it on the charger for a couple hours after it shows 100%, it won't get to its full capacity. At least that's what seems to be happening with my phone.

I got 75-80 (don't remember exacts) on my extended battery from Sprint. That was being mildly conservative, using GPS and music while working out, a lot of texting, couple phone calls, some internet usage.... I was happy.
Just gotta see what the extended battery is going to look like for this beast. At least for the OG EVO it looked halfway decent because of its location and what not.
With the dual camera lenses it'll look a little weird in my opinion... And I like the slim/ naked look more so now than ever lol
I have three of the similar batteries and charger for my EVO 4G, just not extended. They have been a great value. Never plug in except to ADB. Never have to hover around a corded charging phone afraid to miss a call.
I ordered the similar for the EVO 3D. They haven't arrived yet, as well as the phone. Your post may be a little premature
Nothing really new to add, but I too use the cheap generic replacements in my Evo 4G. Last week, I got lucky on eBay and scored 3 Evo 3D batts plus a wall charger for $13.50 shipped. They probably won't be as good as the stock battery, but will be fine for me as I'm not a power user by any stretch. I routinely get 24 hours out of the stock battery, so even if they are only half as good, they will get me through the day with no problem.
Somebody linked these in IRC and thought I would share, thinking of getting these. http://cgi.ebay.com/3x-1800MAH-HIGH...ccessories&hash=item3cb94bf1db#ht_1744wt_1140
Yeah I have 3x batteries and the wall charger on the way since last week!
I'll let you know how it goes
Hmm...
I forgot about those.
I ordered 5 cases, screen protectors, and got them from china.
Inside were 2 batteries and an external charger.
They kind of got tossed somewhere....
1800mAh.
Popping one in now...
***
It's noticeably lighter than the oem, but the phone booted.... So... we'll see.
I don't really have enough use/drain time specs yet to tell you much, but I'll slap Juice plotter on the thing and see what happens...
So I bought one of the cheap Ebay 1800mAH batteries. I received it today & I pulled the sticker off the top of it & just like every other knockoff battery I've bought on Ebay it is not 1800mah. Underneath the sticker it says 1000mah.
Do not buy these batteries unless you want a low capacity battery.

[Edit: this user has sold like 350 of these things and gotten no bad reviews on it yet that I can tell.....so either no one's checking battery life before rating or else he's legit?]
So OP, the sticker thing--Mine look a lot like yours but if I try to peel off the sticker, I think I'm getting into the battery itself--metal and stuff seems be be underneath it. But the wrapper on mine looks identical to yours--should I try peeling? I don't want to damage the batteries...
Also, as to performance, what's the best way to test? I guess I can just reboot the phone and wait a set amount of time then measure the battery level (assuming no phone calls, etc)--but even then there are issues of network, etc. Maybe I should just turn off wi-fi, go into airplane mode, then watch 30 minutes of Tron and see where the battery is afterward?
I've got a battery app that shows the % life left and few other things (like how much juice has gone to the screen and specific apps, etc) but I don't think it does what I need it to. I'm willing to pay a few bucks in the market for a great battery monitor.
I have 2 from ebay that look exactly the same and they work perfectly fine, every bit as good as the one that came with it.
I just bought 3 of those with the wall charger the other day. Guess we'll see how they are when they get here.

I got a few of these too and I pealed the sticker and mine say the same thing 1000mah (on the metal looking part). They seem to last pretty long though, maybe 75% of the original. this definitely sucks. Thanks OP for the heads up. I ordered the 2000mah batterys that just popped up on ebay yesterday (from Hong Kong) I will post back when I receive them.
I have contacted both the sellers I ordered from and reported this to ebay, waiting for replys.
Here is what you do!
Here is what you do. If you have a few hours to kill and it is what I did to test my 4G batteries I bought. I would charge the batteries and turn on a navigation app and select a location and let it constantly check and update until the battery dies. With the OG EVO it took like 4 and half hours. and with the siedio 1750 i got an extra 20 mins.
Also the extended batteries would not reach a full charge until SBC kernels showed up, heck the stock batteries didnt get a full charge either so maybe that could be why?
anyways, a lot of people scam others with BS claims on battery ratings on ebay I ordered a 2000 mah battery for my evo and i pulled the sticker and it said 950.
Buyer beware!

Yes it is safe to pull the sticker off. Mine has the metal too as you can see from my pics. I didn't pull from the same part you started to pull from. I started on the back side. The black part. You should see where the sticker ends and you can pull them back from there.
This has been a scam on these types of batteries for a while now. It may seem like you are getting the same battery life, but if you are using battery intensive applications and radios you will see that it is not. With my OG Evo I had 4 cheap Ebay batteries that all claimed to be 3500mah, but none of them even compared to my Sprint branded 2600mah battery. It outlasted those cheapies by almost double. I am sure that maybe there are some legit batteries out there and maybe even on Ebay, but as far as I can tell every single one of these batteries is less capacity then claimed.
I am no expert on testing batteries. All I did was pull the black sticker back to reveal that the battery is 1000mah instead of 1800 mah as claimed.
I bought the battery from here: Ebay
no offense guys, but when you buy a battery that cost 5 dollars, when the oem batteries are 50; do you really expect the same kind of performance?
Now, I agree that the OEM's mark up these things at least 100%, but, you still can't expect top performance when you buy a no name battery as cheaply as they are on Ebay..

right! you get what you paid for, I buy these with the expectation that i'll use them as a backup battery, not as a primary battery that last longer.
in my opinion, even the name brand like Sedio or Mugen "slim extended" battery which cost an arm and a leg are still no better than OEM. even the bulky one don't have as much mah as they claim, although definitely more mah than oem standard

That thing is huge. I would rather carry a second battery and not deal with the heft. Yeah, you have to swap it out but I'd rather do that than carry that thing around. I didn't see the weight but that's a consideration also. To each his own, if that works for you i'm glad you found a solution.

Hey all.
Just wanted to post and say that my Sensation battery works flawlessly in my EVO 3D. Many reviews and tests on the Sensation boards are confirming the battery is indeed 1900mah so its a good deal for a $10 battery from California!
Is there any noticeable difference? I don't see what an extra 200 (or whatever it is) mah will do, still $10 isn't bad for just a general backup battery.

I've had these batteries for a week now and do notice a slight increase over stock. However I only calibrated it 2x (full discharge and recharge).
Thanks for the info. Even if they are just 1730mah then they are still a great deal compared to $30 for a stock HTC battery! Got a link? I'm gonna order 1 or 2 tonight

Robstunner, can you confirm that this is the seller that you got yours from as well?
Oh, another question for any one with these batteries and charger. Does the battery show 100% charged when you put it in your phone after using the external charger? My ebay docking station with extra battery charger in the back doesnt fully charge. When I put in a battery off the charger, it reads from 86-94%. I've tried taking them out as soon as teh light turns green and also leaving them in 5 hours after the light is green, same results though...
If this one actually charges to 100%, then that is another added bonus!!! I can charger 2 extra batteries at the same time, and when the dock says its charged, I'll put the battery in the charger that comes with the Anker batteries to finish them off.

Thats what i got. I believe the Sensation users were saying that there is a 1930mah one made by anker for EVO3D. THe mentioned it because it also worked on the Sensation.
Can't find a seller in Germany..
Only one seller on ebay provides shipping to germany. One battery for $24,99 and shipping cost $5,00. Not a very good deal, is it? =/

Id like to know about the white charger as well. I have a black one from ebay for sensation and it charges the anker 1900mah up to 99% but it charges my oem up to 90%. I need a charger that will charge the OEM batt to alteast 99%.

Considering it is 1900mah and lasts a bit longer than OEM which cost more then I would say its a fair deal but not a great deal. Also not having an extra charger kinda makes it pointless to have an extra battery. Just my thoughts.
I have a couple of these and aso notice a bit of improvement over stock. Depending on my usage maybe 1 to 2 hours better. The charger seems to work fine for me as the voltage with the charger versus charging via the phone are identical. Testing with a multimeter after full charge.

So after using the white external charger to fully charge the battery, once it lights up that its done and you put the battery in the phone, the phone shows battery as 100% ?
So far for me these batteries run cooler and longer. Its pretty cool that the charger is universal and can charge almost any cell battery.
PS. They also always charge to 100 percent for me.

Yep sure does. Although I did wipe battery stats and did 2 full cycles this way. Seems strange that it would actually be 100% though since it does take some power to boot the phone. But I guess not enough to make a difference. I'm using ViperRom with a self made circle battery with %. System panel also shows 100% can't remember the voltage system panel showed, ill look next time I put one in if you're interested.

Are you guys still using OEM at all? I have 2 of these anker but I wanna get an extra one and forget about the stock so it doesnt screw up my battery stats.
I use them all including stock, the voltages seem to be pretty close and I get maybe an hour less on the stock bat with my usage. So I think you will be ok interchanging them.

Video just comparing the cases....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV0vAQtOfns
Droidax 1650mAh Battery Case: The worst out of the 3. I only get approx. 30% extra battery when I should be at least 75% based on its stats. This is my second case from the mfg. because I had the same issue with the first one. My opinion is that they need to use better components when making the case such as a better battery. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this case. If they upgrade the internals then maybe I would change my opinion, but until then. Hell I would pay more for it if I new it was of better quality because I do like the design of it.
Powerskin: I just received it and I will test it and report back. First impressions is that it looks to be made well, but it's also the largest out of the 3
Ebay 3500mAh with Battery Cover: OK $8.99 I should stop right there, but I wont. So I have gone through 1 full cycle and it lasted 1day 7hours with moderate use. The next couple of charge cycles should even improve my time as the battery breaks in. So far no boot loops. I charged it with the car charger, the regular phone charger, a BlackBerry Charger, and now my Computer as I type this. Awesome, so awesome I ordered a second one just for the hell of it this morning (also I want to see if the second one has any issues). The great thing is it comes from NYC and I'm not to far from there so I get it quick.. The cover fits great as well, really no issues when it comes to that.

Are you thinking of buying am external charger for the 3500 mah battery?
I'm currently running one but I would like to very another due to the cheap price... Am external charger for the spare 3500 would be very beneficial.

I was thinking about it, but right now I have no issues with charging it in my phone. Once I get the second battery I ordered I may get a charger...
Quick Update...
So far I'm very impressed with my 3500mAh extended battery. Its performing great. I'm charging it for the third time since I got it and have had no problems with boot loops or anything else. Its been lasting 2 full days with moderate to heavy usage.
The Powerskin I have used once and it only gave me a 40% increase in charge to my phone. I will test it some more, but in all reality I will probably return it because its very big in comparison to everything else that's out there and a 40% lift in battery for $70 is not good. Maybe it will perform better the second time around. We will see!
Here is a seller that bundles the 3500mAh battery with a TPU case w/o crappy logo for $15.

Buyer beware: I've just installed mine and the phone boot loops. And since it doesn't come with an external charger, I have no way to charge this. Will be returned.

Ouch, thanks a lot for reporting on here. Just saved me $15. I think i will order the 8.99 bat the op has.
Quick question op, you never mentioned how your phone performed battery wise without any modification. I just want to know what to expect with the extended battery.

I'm on unnamed rom, I keep sync off unless I need it and on light days I'll have about 16-17 hours on battery and the phone will be at approx 70%. On heavy days and that's when I'm really trying to drain the battery I'll have the same amount of time on the battery but be down to about 5-6% battery. Heavy use is gaming upon gaming, internet, and video use. I have 2 of these batteries and I feel I get a slightly better performance out of the second one. I'm sure these are not a true 3500mAh but for the $8 and no boot loops its definitely worth the investment..
I have been debating about trying the Mugen 3200mAh, but the $98 price tag seems a little steep....
Anybody came across a good one?
Also interested in this as well.
Looks like a 2100 or 2500 will fit in our phones. Problem now is finding a battery that actually has that capacity mAh in it.

Which will be very hard to do, let me know if you find anything worth mentioning and I will as well as I am currently in the same boat and am looking to purchase the highest capacity battery available for stock cover and am doing some research myself
Seido innocell 1900 mah Slim extended battery. Works like a charm however not much more batterylife then the stock battery but atleast its better in the long run
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innocell-1900mAh-Extended-Battery/dp/B005C31CJ8
37 bucks
Ughh i cant find the site now, but I was searching around the other day and I saw a 2100 mah one... Dont know if is a good one but I saw it if Im not going crazy... Jeje... Will update if I find it...

Personnelly, I spent $10 and bought 4 spare batteries and a battery charger and I just replace on the go.
Most of these batteries they sell on Ebay are overrated in the actual mah capacity they claim. There is a way to check the mah with a meter and a small load and a timer but to me its too much trouble.
Some are good some are not. You are essentially buying a pig in a poke. They are cheap, not doubt about that.
Here is a lot I bought out of china. They sold these in a lot of 10 for $39.00 with free shipping. Took about two weeks for me to get them.
So, that's about $4.00 each. They seem fine.

As long as you don't charge them, they will have a long shelf life. Once you charge them then you should use them by cycling.
I only use 2 for now, rotating them out. If you play games or watch movies, the battery drains fast. I know its a pain to pop the back off and swap em but at least you can do it.
The new EVO 4G LTE, does not come with a removable battery. Once you run it down, it has to go on the charger. One feature I don't like about it. However, I think HTC is moving in that direction on all their future phones.
I like being able to change the battery. I used to listen with headset all day at work with my phone in my shirt pocket at the factory. I would have to swap out two to three batteries a day. I had a stack of them on another HTC phone I had.

Does anyone have an answer for my question?

I really hope your wrong. Although I wouldn't doubt it. Real stupid move. I'm gonna say it might really hurt them financially. This is one of the many reasons I've stayed away from that i-crap out there. I would have been one of the first on the waiting list to get the new evo 4g from sprint. I've been following that phone a long time. No quad core and lack of being able to replace a battery, no thanks.
I like extended batteries no matter how good the stock one is. My evo 3d stock battery is way better than when I had my evo 4g with stock battery. I'm rooted and runnin swagged out with the kernel it came with. I get 1-3 days of battery life with my stock evo3 battery. Can't wait till the end of the week for my new ext battery to get here. I'm really hoping I see 2-5 days or more. Not many phones will do that. Not even those precious i-devices those sheep love.

I'm going to guess and say they will fit just fine. I have the same charger and their pic shows it being flush with the top of the chatter. Plus it doesn't come with a extended battery back cover. Factory evo 3d batteries are 1730mah and those are 1900mah. Not much difference there. Its not like its a 2500-4000mah battery.

There is no being wrong about it. The phone is out. This is easy to prove.
I've played with it. The HTC rep at Radio Shack had one.
The battery life is tremendously good on the phone especially giving the size of the screen. However, like I say when its dead or almost there, it has to be on the charger. You cannot simple just swap in a fresh battery. Ain't happening on that phone. And I agree, big mistake for HTC - I reckon they're counting on the fact they've add enough bells and whistles to get you to overlook this.
I've always had an idea for a battery. Why can't they make a battery like a capacitor. Where it would charge up in like a nano second and discharge very slowly as needed on demand. That way, when you need to charge it, you'd just walk over the charger, zap it for 2 seconds and unplug it --- good to go for another few days.
Also what every happened to fuel cell powered cell phones? They told us that one fuel cell would power the phone for 20 to 30 years without ever charging. Science fiction I guess.
Even the new film type screens they're working on will require power. Even if you can get the screen as thin as a dollar bill and flexible, its still going to require a battery.
