Increase G1 Battery Capacity With Seidio’s Extended Battery Upgrade

[Talk Android]

If you're tired of having to recharge your G1 battery every few hours then take a look at this extended battery from Seidio.

This rather bulky battery upgrade comes complete with a replacement cover bringing you a whopping 2600mAh capacity compared to the G1's standard 1150mAh capacity.

With so many G1 owners looking for ways to improve their handset's lacklustre battery performance, this extended battery replacement might just be the key.

For hints and tips on getting the most out of your G1's standard battery life have a read through this forum thread: HTC G1 Battery life

Stop beating your heads against the wall...

*******Disclaimer: These are merely suggestions that I am offering as a workaround fix to the battery problem that you might be experiencing with your phone. I am not an employee for any company affiliated with the phone or any technology associated with the phone!*****

If you go to this site:
http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductD...ACY26TMG1%2DBK
You will be able to purchase a 2600mAh extended life battery for $55.00US. The standard battery that comes with the phone is an 1150mAh battery, so you get about a125% increase in batery life. Before you place your order, don't forget to do a google search using the following words: Seidio Coupon Codes. This should help to get a discount when placing the order.

Also, Duracell makes a product called the Power Source Mini (http://www.duracellpower.com/electro...urce-mini.aspx) that can be used as a pocket charger for the phone in addition to the extended battery mentioned above. The good thing is that if you order it through CompUSA/Tiger Direct and if you live in Illinois or Florida, you can pick it up from their warehouse and avoid the shipping charges. Sorry, I was not able to find a discount code to use to place the order for this item.

By the way, they did send me another batttery for the phone, but it was another 1150mAh battery so it wouldn't have helped the problem I was having anyways. I hope that this helps everyone with their battery problem, at least until they can come up with a viable fix. I can say that although my phone is chunkier, I no longer have a dead battery by 11 am after what I consider minimal usage.

OK, I forgot to mention that Seidio does ship internationally and has the following disclaimer: International customers are solely responsible for all customs duties, taxes, and brokgerage fees upon receipt of orders.

I went to the Tiger Direct website and was told that you could place an international order via 1(800)800-8300 or 1(305)415-2201. The item number is X08-2018.
When ordering from Tiger Direct you can only pay one of these 3 ways: a US credit card, Wire Transfer, or Money Order from your bank. Hope that this helps. Good Luck!!

No it wont, i believe the battery comes with a modified battery cover though

Seems like a good idea. I'm not sure I can deal with it being much thicker though . I'm thinking I would rather keep a spare if necessary than add bulk, but who knows I may change my mind down the line.
