High Capacity Batteries - Too Good To Be True?
Posts: n/a batteries that are now available. I bought two 1900mAh (allegedly) batteries recently for my new V3i. They both lasted less than 24 hours and that was with only about 10-15 minutes of actual talk time. I thought they looked too good to be true!

Posts: n/a Re: High Capacity Batteries - Too Good To Be True? I assume you're talking about the Maxcell batteries that have beendiscussed here before? I've tested them extensively and found that they may provide better performance when brand new (but not always) and after 90 days they're no better than OEM and some fail prematurely. > I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's tried the new Lithium > Polymer batteries that are now available. > > I bought two 1900mAh (allegedly) batteries recently for my new V3i. > They both lasted less than 24 hours and that was with only about > 10-15 minutes of actual talk time. > > I thought they looked too good to be true! > > Alan

Posts: n/a Re: High Capacity Batteries - Too Good To Be True? The batteries were obtained from the Netherlands via eBay. I should haveknown better. They were the equivalent of about $10 each. What should I expect for that!?

Posts: n/a Re: High Capacity Batteries - Too Good To Be True? Time to resell them on Ebay.  You might want to Google EVDO and battery life. Something about if it hangs and looks for the EVDO Signal, It will cut battery life over 1/2. I don't have the problem as EVDO Is not in my area. There is a setting for it in the service menu.
