Just got the extended battery for the Droid 2 from Verizon store today and it works well with my Droid 1. Unfortunately my case won't work with the extended battery cover so I ended up having to leave the back cover off in order to fit it into it.
I am going to be testing the battery life with this new battery and it looks to be rather awesome in terms of not having to recharge the phone during the middle of the day or end of night before I get home.
High recommend so far. Will post updates more later on.
Which case do you use if you don't mind me asking?
It was a clear plastic case from Verizon.
They work really well, been using one in my milestone for a couple of weeks. Lasts the whole day now.

Extended Battery Door?
Forgive me, but it's unclear to me which extended battery door works... ANY links to GOOD extended batteries and covers would be awesome! Thanks!
Does anyone know if you can fit the Droid/Milestone door over the extended battery if you remove that sticky sponge pad on the back? I got a Droid 3 but want to go back to using my Milestone and I'm looking to enhance it yet keep the stock look.

How come you want to roll back to the D1/Milestone?
I almost pulled the trigger on a used D3, but will probably just buy a new D4...

The software was horrible, the build quality the Droid/Milestone has no longer exists, it had issues getting a signal most of the time, it was too big and so much more. Dislike the Droid 4 even more.
Doing a full rebuild of my Milestone but I'm stuck with a US keypad as I can't get the UK one.

this should be legit right? with all the fake battery threads and everything lately, i want to be very careful where i buy my battery from unless its from the verizon store. i think this is legit though, and a decent price cheaper than buying from verizon.

Yup, looks like the OEM one that I have. The fact that it comes with the back which says HTC is a pretty good indicator too

i saw those, i dont think those are legit OEM HTC batteries....
I've had mine for awhile and easily get through a day with a single charge. So legit or not they work. Stock battery I'd be lucky to make past lunch some days

I ordered it, 100% legit. It's a great upgrade for the phone. While it does look thicker, it's feel is actually better. You can easily get a full day out of this battery with heavy use. I purchased it as a 'when I need my phone all day' kinda battery. No worries.
Only thing is the back bezel doesn't come with the metal around the headphone jack. But the case is OEM.
Ultimately do what makes you comfortable. Just thought I'd share my experience. Everyone on these forums have been so helpful to me thought I'd put my 2 cts in. I was a little skeptical too. Battery is red and says HTC (easy enough to do) but received in 2 days and couldn't be happier. 2 best things about are not having to have an ugly hump and no longer having to hear my brother (ex iPhone user) ***** about the terrible battery life. So in short 2 people very happy with these.
Good luck with whatever you choose

I actually should have went with it to try it out, but i had already ordered the 2150. i actually like thicker phones, i cant stand thin phones, on my old g1 i used to have one of those like 3500 batteries and it was huge lol.
my friend has an inc and i know he wont want to get a thicker battery, so ill have him order the one you got. thanks for the review on it btw.
This battery is so worth the money. Got it last night, charged it (bump charged it) and been unplugged since 830am, and 7hrs later and I'm at 63%. Id be dead already on the stock battery.

I am SO with you!
My N1 and Captivate both have two extra batteries and I can't stand waiting around for my phone to charge. That was the first thing I looked into at 8:03 this morning and haven't found anything. I can't even find a decent case... The plastic phone worries me.. At least bestskinsever are shipping them by the 20th
Oh dude the plastic is solid. I've dropped a Vibrant to death and it's still hot smokin safe. The only plastic part anyways is the battery cover, which can be easily replaced in the future.
confirmed: Behold II and moment battery works
I posted a question about the battery.
I have a battery used with Behold II and it just fits (same model number) and I am using it.

Just make sure you buy the 1500mAh one.

Haven't seen any extended batteries while Googling, but the OEM's are about $7 a pop:

The battery on Amazon says 5,48Wh whereas mine syas 5,55Wh. I'm not sure what the difference is, but I'd rather get one that's the exact same.

No problem at all.
They're original batteries used with Behold II. I did a careful research to make sure the battery is compatible.

I just got the 2 battery I bought from amazon. The good news is it works perfectly. The bad news is it is only 1440 mAh.
I recently came to the conclusion that i wanted to sell my 2150 battery. It was great and lasted long but I just never really could adjust to the bulk and after rooting and installing a custom ROM on my phone, my stock battery was enough to satisfy me. It is only about 2 weeks old and I'm a light user to begin with. This battery should still perform to its max. I'm posting in hope of finding someone who can get better use of it than I could. If anyone is interested you can check out the link below .

I just didn't really like the weight and it kinda was a turn off with the size. It's easier to get out of pockets with the stock haha.

Well I didn't use it too much so it's still great quality. I was hoping for around $40 on eBay but It's around 20$ at the moment on my listing so it's possible to snag it for less.
I will send you 40 for it
I just got it via FedEx and I have it charging as per instructions. But now I'm a tad bummed cuz I've got 2 really cute TPU cases and I can't use either of them.
Thats the only thing that blows. I picked mine up when I got my phone on release day. Best 25$ I've ever spent. But yet no tpu case for the extended battery that I know of. I'm gonba check out eBay and hopefully they have something I hate not having a case in my phone.

You should try the case and holster combo as it will fit the extended battery and will fit in the docks. Also a bonus it has a slide out kickstand. I have been a leather case guy until now. Took me just a day to get used to it and now love it.
Check to see if the battery is 2880 like verizon states on there website or if it's 2760 like the one that I got straight from verizon dot com

Why? And how do we check?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
cuz the battery is a different size then what verizon says it is on their website. If thats where you got the extended battery. I got mine from verizons website and they state its a 2880 mAh, What they actually send is a 2760 mAh. Which woould be smaller. Its extended none the less from stock but its still misleading from what Verizon says to what the battery they send really is. If you wanna check look either on the box it came in or on the battery itself it will say what mAh it is.
My extended battery is 2760...bummer.
What the crap? What happened to the 2880 batteries we all ordered?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
Hmmm, when I bought it from the store he never handed me the box, I'll have to check my battery out.
I just like how perfect it looks on the phone... doesnt really make it ugly.
not the battery that was advertised but i love this thing. I woke up went to work used my phone all day and then came home after a 12 hour shift and i still had 50% left.
The extended battery is a must for any power user that does not want to be tied up by a power cord. The best product for this awesome phone so far!

Roger that. I think it fills out the phone nicely
I just received mine today. I purchased my phone via CostCo (day 1, first phone sold to me) so I got all the accessories - happy to say that hte Extended battery fits the battery charger I got.
w00t!
Now that I know that, I went back online and ordered a second one - same discount.
Life will be good with 2 swappable extended batteries when I'm overclocking in the future
Not too worried about the discrepancy in the stated versus rated mAh - it's still larger than stock by a significant amount, so I'll take it.
I'm heading down to the states in a couple weeks and I'm thinking of picking up an official (not after-market cheap $10-15 battery) extended battery (BF6X) for my XT860.
I have 2 questions:
1) how much "bigger" does the phone get in your hands? (Preferably a side by side pic of stock/extended cover on a D3 would be nice) -- I haven't found a reliable picture of this because the market is flooded with cheap batteries.
2) I'm assuming that, given the XT862 and XT860 are so similar, sans induction contact on the back, as well as no CDMA, the BF6X is still compatible with the XT860?
I have the BF6X in my phone. I think it adds something between 3 and 5 mm to the thickness, and I would say it's about 30% more battery life. I usually keep BF5X and BF6X on my person at all times, that way I know if I'm out of juice I always have a standard battery to get me back up and running.
Can't take pics of them since I only have 2 batteries, and no camera now. But I hope thats a good enough explaination.
Fyi, in case your using holsters, I got a Samsung Galaxy S holster for my xt860 from best buy mobile and there was no negitave affect of me sliding it in with or without the extended battery.
