Hey, I noticed the battery life not living up to what it used to be when awake, and looked up how to take apart the back to replace the battery, and it seems simple enough. Remove bottom back then screws, so I was wanted to know if I could buy a better battery than the original since I'm replacing it anyway? Any guidance would be great!

There aren't any companies that make them for this device. Since the battery isn't removable, they wouldn't be selling any. Well, except to people like you who are going to disassemble the phone. That said, the standard extended battery wouldn't work, because then you wouldn't be able to reassemble the phone. It would have to be the exact same size, like what Anker offers for the Evo 3D. Sorry though, going back to a factory battery is going to be your only option here
I would like to have this option as well! It could very well be that it just isn't possible to pack anymore mah in the same footprint as the factory battery. I know this is the case with the Note 2. If you want more mah with the Note 2, the only option is to buy a battery that is larger than stock and go with a thicker battery door. There are some batteries on ebay that claim to have more mah in a battery that's the same size as factory, but people have found that this isn't true and that the battery actually has less mah than the factory battery does! Now Anker does offer a Note 2 battery that's listed as having the same mah as stock, but many people have said that it will last a couple hours longer! If Anker offered a Evo LTE battery, then I would definitely try it out! I have multiple Anker batteries for my Evo 3D, and have had nothing but good experiences with them!! I'm pretty sure Anker was the brand I had for my OG Evo as well, but don't remember for certain. I've got Anker batteries on order for my Note 2, so I'll find out soon if Anker will impress me yet again. Sorry I couldn't give you any good news...

Check out the Seidio Innocell Plus Power case for the EVO LTE. It sells for $69.99 on Amazon and it might be just what you're looking for.

The reviews for it are very hit and miss if I remember correctly
Screw EVERY backup battery you all have in mind and just get an ANKER 13300maH battery. Of course it loses about 30% on conversion, so it will rate around 9500 or whatever, but it is enough to FULLY charge my EVO 4G LTE about 3-4 times from being dead. The only bad thing I have to report about it is that I didn't find it sooner, but other than that it's been flawless in keeping me happy. I wish the carrying case was a bit bigger so cramming the extra bits into it wouldn't be such a challenge, but other than that I love it. And one thing I didn't mention is you can find them at an extremely reasonable rate on Amazon or ebay. Just be sure to order from the company directly so you don't get a fake one.

Photon 4G uses battery type HF5X with 1700mah capacity, I wonder if Photon 4G can use BF6x/BH6x which has 1880mah capacity, anybody tried?
Nope. That would be too simple. The battery edge is keyed differently and the contacts are different.

But if this battery is good for atrix and photon, why wouldn't any other like this 1930 mAh one?
I've heard that the BF5X (1500mah) will work.

I just received a bf6x battery and it does not fit in my phone....2 corners need to be a little smaller.

I think this is the same battery on I bought on eBay. It fits and works but is several mm thicker and the back will not go on the 855 phone. Battery says for MOT822/BF6X 1950mAh
I bought 2 BF6X with a charger on ebay, blindly taking the seller's word that it was the correct match. Obviously it's not the correct match, but it actually fits in my phone and works ok so far. It was a tight fit to snap in the top edge of the battery into the phone, and the part of the back cover (right above the kickstand) sticks out 1-2 mm. But if it gives me bettery battery life and doesn't set my phone on fire, I'll probably stick with it.
I bought them as well but it causes to much pressure on the screen. Don't matter where I touch I get a pressure spot in the lower center of screen.

My seller gave me a refund without a problem and did not want the batteries or charger back. The charger works with the proper batteries. I gave him a positive feedback.
photon battery
the photons battery is 3.8 volts not 3.7 volts
in other news seidio's extended battery is now available for purchase, 3500mah of goodness, lasts all day for even a power user and then some, most will get two or more days of a 3500mah battery, that is the case with my evo4g and its seidio extended battery
buying batteries on ebay is risky business, lots of counterfeits and lots of poor quality batteries that can ruin your devices, buyers beware!!
Just wanted to point out that Mugen extended battery 3600mah is now available on Mugen store online
Their site is atrocious. Provide a link maybe?

Ah thank you. But no I'm not paying that much for a battery. Especially since I've been using the phone for barely a week now.
Also, since it replaces the back cover of the phone I'm a little bit skeptical. I'd rather just buy a spare from motorola when the prices drop (couple of months from now?)

3500 mah batteries and covers have surfaced on ebay. I've order one, hopefully it will be OK. I searched on "Photon battery".

Seidio has their extended life battery available, but I think it's like $80 as well. Has anyone confirmed or denied if the Atrix battery works with the Photon? Since I heard some place it was 1900 mah.
atrix doesnt work but the driod 3 battery does
id be interested to see what kinda quality the cover is. the seidio one i had on my evo was too fast and easy break. after a few battery pulls from my flashing needs, that dang cover had snapped tabs.
The photon has one heck of a grip on the battery cover and it would be hard for me to swap that out for a extended battery one that is week and not fitting as good as stock.
I vote to have an extra battery in the briefcase or a little solar charger unit that holds charge if you plan to be away form a wall plug for extended times.
I get over 20 hours with my stock battery, rarely is there not a charger around me. and if i dont have a charger around for that long of time, i normally have my phone off bc i dont want to hear from the world then (hunting, fishing, on the lake)

when you consider that a 1650 mah battery from motorola costs 49 dollars a quality extended battery with 3600 mah isnt all that expensive. These batteries provide freedom from carrying chargers and extra batteries around. Mugen makes high quality extended batteries and give you the power you pay for which is more than can be said for cheapo chinese batteries on ebay, some of which dont even provide the power they advertise. You get what you pay for.
---------- Post added at 04:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 AM ----------
Both Mugen and Seidio Extended batteries are a great buy. They free you from carrying a charger around or extra oem batteries and having to worry about charging them throughout the day.
The motorola photon battery costs 49 bucks, dont expect the price to go down.
At 3600mah and 3500 mah respectively, these extended batteries will last you two full days without charging with heavy phone use, texting and some web browsing.
While these batteries do ad some bulk to your phone I have found them to be very handy. Having used batteries from both companies on my Evo and other phones, the added bulk is not a problem at all and actually makes it easier to handle the phones. The only disadvantage is that you will not be able to use cases on your phone. That problem is easily solved by buying a pouch with a beltclip and store your phone in that. With my evo I use a belt clip pouch from best buy.....24 bucks. Seidio usually makes extended cases that will fit phones using their extended batteries.

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.

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!!!!

Generic chinese batteries never provide their rated mah, are made from poor quality materials, can catch fire and can damage your device. Also if you look at that battery cover the speaker would be impeded by it as it does not accommodate the speaker appropriately

So I've been seeing mixed reviews on the aftermarket/3rd party batteries. I've seen that some people have good luck with the mugen 1900 and some with good luck with the 1980.
For those of you that have any of the 3rd party batteries, and had good luck, can you give me a better idea of how much better the aftermarket batteries are? Are you using 100% stock OS?
I really need a new battery, but am not sure if I should go with OEM or 3rd party. It seems that there is no real clarity if the 3rd party batteries last any longer or not. They certainly can be cheaper......
Try one of each... never hurts to have spare batteries. For me, I can not really tell the diff. I have both in extended and both work just as well as the other.
I didn't have good luck with either 3rd party slim battery. I ended up snagging the OEM extended from Verizon when they had them on sale for $29.99. I'm not in love with the bigger size in my pocket but find it fits my hand better when actually using it. The life I'm getting out of it is well worth it.

I've been looking for a slim battery that holds more than the OEM as well. I got the Extended OEM from VZW for $25 when I bought the phone. It gets me through a day (I'm on it a lot AND my reception sucks for data at work) but I'm getting tired of the extra bulk. I'm thinking of going back to the days of carrying an extra slim in my pocket. That's what I used to do with my Dinc, but with the Rez w/ extended, you have to changes the back and case with the extended......and that is just getting old. I prefer to keep it in my Otterbox.
I picked up acesoft battery 1980mah seems to perform well. I also picked up OEM extended from Verizon was only 29 but I preffer 1980mah. I wanted to use case I can easily get through the day on 1980mah other battery makes it to bulky and heavier.

I have tried a couple of the slim "extended" batteries that are like 19xx mAh, and never really saw any increase in run-time or capacity over stock, in fact I would be tempted to say they were worse than the stock batteries... the Laza ones above are comparable to the stock ones though.
I have the mugen 1900. I've had it since may and its crapped out on me now. It won't charge to 100% now and it discharges way quicker than it used to..not happy after paying 40 dollars for it.

We had a guy at work that bought one of these Mugen 1900 batteries too, same thing, worked good for like 5 or 6 months then just kinda crapped out, won't charge all the way, can't make it through a normal days use anymore, etc. He popped the stock battery back in that had been sitting for the last 6 months, charged and he thinks it works better than when the Mugen was new. (Might be the placebo affect though)
I did not have good results from the Mugen Power 1900 mAh slim battery. Could never get it to work properly. The phone would shut down when power got to 15%. However, I Mugen Power 4000 mAh battery worked great for me, albeit it is bulky. Since I no longer own the Rezound, I am now selling that and some other Rezound accessories on ebay.
