I was tired of swapping the OEM 1500 mAh battery and after-market batteries that were not holding up as well on long days when I did not have a charger around. I had used an inexpensive 3500 mAh battery from eBay for $11 that did not hold up to my expectations. I read\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/forum.xda-developers.com\/showthread.php?t=736273\" target=\"_blank\">reviews<\/a> that argued whether or not the $11 battery up to par with the Seidio battery that I ordered from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Seidio-Innocell-Extended-Battery-Black\/dp\/B003SNIR7Y\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1292733372&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> for just over $50.<\/p>\n<p>I can say that the $11 battery does not hold a candle to the Seidio battery. The Seidio battery can take a beating!!<\/p>\n<p>Below are some examples of use&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>What I have running all the time:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Three Gmail and one Exchange account &#8211; all push enabled<\/li>\n<li>Weatherbug Elite updates every 30 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Facebook updates every four hours<\/li>\n<li>Google Latitude running<\/li>\n<li>Google Voice &#8211; Push enabled<\/li>\n<li>Google Talk &#8211; Signed in<\/li>\n<li>PingChat running<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Heavy Usage Day:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Disconnected from the charger at 6AM ET<\/li>\n<li>Streamed SiriusXM for 90 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Checking Twitter with Touiteur every 90 minutes or so<\/li>\n<li>A couple of dozens of SMS sent and received<\/li>\n<li>Responded to Gmail and Exchange based email throughout the day &#8211; received about 100 emails in total and sent 20-25<\/li>\n<li>Received and responded to a few PingChat messages<\/li>\n<li>Used 4G for 25 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Streamed YouTube videos for 10 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Browsed the web for 30 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Played cached Slacker content for 30 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Phone calls\u00a0totaling\u00a060 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I went to bed at 10:30PM CT which is 16.5 hours with 9% of the battery remaining. The 4G, YouTube, and most of the Internet browsing\u00a0occurred when my return flight to MSP was delayed.
