Battery - Motorola Droid Bionic

Just picked it up this morning just wanted to give my props on the phone. Only thing so far i've not been happy about is battery. Anyone picked up the extended battery? Any reviews on it being worth $50?

If you go to the store and get it, you might get it for 50% off. Mine was $24.99 after they applied the discount.

I picked it up last night online from the verizon wireless website for 50 percent off for 24.99 (with extended battery back), what a great deal. Also with free shipping

How think is it with the extended battery? Anyone care to comment if it is unbearably thick or heavy?

It's really nice too. I picked one up this morning as well. I like the weight/feel in the hand a lot more with the EXT battery.
Can't go wrong. Double the battery for half the price. He asked me if I wanted it and at first I said no then I told him to throw it in.
Excellent battery life with the extended too! The cover holster combo is made to fit the extended cover as well! Very good buy...

Does the phone still work in the car dock with the extended battery? Deal breaker if not.
Offer is valid in store as well.... I picked mine up yesterday. Trying the standard battery for a few days to compare that to my thunderbolt.... so far its pretty good.
I'll probably switch over to the extended in a few days

Just ordered mine - how ext. is ext?
So - are any of the cases going to fit the ext battery? I bought a case today and am thinking it won't fit with the ext. battery now.

Just picked one up. It feels really good compared to the tbolt extended battery.
Anyone feel like posting a comparison pic to see how thick it is? Is it really bulky in a pocket?

Try visiting the store. I couldn't get the deal online. At the store, they didn't know it was going to be half off until checkout.

Bought mine about a half hour ago on the Verizon Website (at sale price).
It showed full price until I went to checkout, then gave me the sale price...
Definitely just picked on of these up. Thanks for the heads up! Discount was applied once my item was in the cart at checkout. Great buy!!
Stop in the stores and they said it was going on through october 30th. At least that's what the stores said in Columbus Ohio

Try logging out of your Verizon account. If you have a corporate discount already, for some odd reason, that overrides VZW's generic discount.

I still don't see anything past a 25% discount. Very strange. I have tried 2 computers, clearing cookies, logging in and out and I still don't see it. Maybe they do it by area? I am in Philadelphia. I'm going to try the store tomorrow.
yeah i did not know about this deal, until i went to my buddies verizon store he is a manager and told me it was %50 off he also lets me use his discount on other items. which i did not know he did
but this battery is **HUGE** its 2 of the nomal size batteries put togather, we'll thats what i think anyways. i got to buy a whole new case.
but the overall the battery is worth it. it last alot longer. my nomal battery maybe lasted me 6 hours. now i get between 12-16 hours or more. depending on my usage.
Just ordered mine. Can't wait!

Log completely out of your account and search for the item through google. Check for "Verizon DROID bionic extended battery".
Once you find it the proper listing in google (verizonwireless site) go to it and try to buy it. Keep going all the way through until checkout. Then only login when it asks you.
That worked when I ordered some accessories for my x2.

just ordered a second one just now for 24.99 off the website. it didnt give me my discount till checkout. i paid 49.99 for my first one but that was on the day the bionic came out.

2nd battery external charger other than a dock!!

so i am looking for a 2nd battery that i can charge externally meaning not on the phone but like a second charger source other than a dock help would be appreciative thanks..
I just read somewhere in a forum today that there is a way to charge a battery just by using a usb cable with one end cut off and the wires exposed. You would have to google it to find it (what the post said). Think that is one option along the lines of what you are looking for.
*EDIT: You said something "other than a dock" in the title, so what I posted above wasn't a dock!

You can buy a Motorola battery dock from Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-8950...1FIG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1325124341&sr=8-2
I have one and love it! It comes with a standard battery, and it also charges the extended battery.

I bought my BIONIC from CostCo and they threw that in with my purchase (along with a lot of other stuff).
I have dual extended batteries (best $50 I ever spent) and I charge on in that dock while the other is in my phone.
Yeah I already have standard dock but it doesnt charge batteries

Get one from ebay. They are cheap but does the job. Buy 2 just incase one breaks. If you want to go expensive way, get the OEM which comes with spare battery for around $40-$50. I have both but on ebay one, pins need to be set every time you insert the battery which is kind of pain. Also OEM charges little faster. As I said, even the cheap ebay ones will do the job.

Bought one today at Verizon and it works well. And came with a oem battery.
Took 4 hours to charge the extended battery I also bought at the same time.

I have seen those on ebay. Has anybody tried those? Same type of battery costs 10 times more with Mugen.

didn't you already make this joke?
Thanks guys! Something too good to be true I guess.
Actually I bought this battery, cover and charger off ebay 2 weeks ago and imho its awesome, typically my stock battery gives me 7.5 hrs screen time over 1.5 days, the 6500mah battery gives me TWELVE hours screen time over 2 days. I only switch wifi or 3g/4g on when I need them with sync off and this applies to the stock result as well, I know china batteries are usually sub standard and do not perform anywhere near their quoted mah capacity but in this case its pretty good and for £8.50 delivered exceptional value, if I get ONE year of consistent performance I will buy it again.

I believe these have the capacity of two chinese batteries in one, whatever that means. Still it should be better than stock battery.

Mugen is overpriced. Why not Momax? They use LG cells. I've had a fat Momax extended battery on my SGS2 for 18 months and no issues at all. It lasted about twice as long as expected from the numbers.
Really cheap batteries leave me nervous. I sleep with my phone charging next to me and would not like to wake up in a fire or worse.
But Mugen? I'm quite unlikely to drop $100 for a battery. But won't go for $10 ones either. If Momax doesn't release their extended for the Note II soon, I'll just find something similar.

Looks like the cheap battery makers should all raise their price a bit and buyers will flock in.

I purchased two 7600mah batteries for both the wife's N2 and my own off eBay. May not be true measurements, but awesome life when not corded. They were purchased for about $12 usd. All I can say is it might not be Mugen, but close enough for the bang of the buck.

Well, the Veblen effect might apply to extended batteries too. But in general if the difference is too big I tend to suspect that they are using cheap cells and/or lying regarding capacity. It is not always easy to measure the numbers accurately.

[Q] Good cheap battery for Note II?

I'll be going to The Netherlands in a couple weeks and I'd like to have an extra charged battery in my pocket just in case... and for the plane ride. Any suggestions? something really cheap but not totally **** would be nice!
Oh and it has to be a normal sized battery not an extended one.
Why not just pick up another stock battery? Anything else youd risk it being sub par.

Anker and QCell have both worked well for me. They both last just as long as the stock battery and at least on Amazon they each come with an external wall charger. I keep a charged battery in my pocket all the time now and it's great being able to quickly throw the charged one in the phone and instantly have a 100% charge.

Another vote for the regular Anker. Lasts longer than my stock battery. Bought the 2 pack with charger for $20 on Amazon.
