Without a doubt, if you need more power and you're going to spend $45, three Centro batteries will last a whole longer than just one of these extended batteries, or the official battery from Palm (which retails for $40). ]]>Jul 9th 2009 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/seidio-plam-pre-battery-adds-more-staying-power-retains-slim-fi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/seidio-plam-pre-battery-adds-more-staying-power-retains-slim-fi/Jul 9th 2009 3:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/seidio-plam-pre-battery-adds-more-staying-power-retains-slim-fi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/seidio-plam-pre-battery-adds-more-staying-power-retains-slim-fi/
$45 is in-line with what your typical name-brand battery goes for. However, you can usually find off-brand batteries that are much cheaper, especially for common models. Sure, the phone company will warn you that unapproved batteries could blow up in your face (literally), but in reality they're probably made in the same Chinese factory that made the one that shipped with your phone. Also, it's not like OEM batteries are disaster-proof. (Remember all those exploding laptops and swollen MacBooks?)]]>Jul 9th 2009 4:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/seidio-plam-pre-battery-adds-more-staying-power-retains-slim-fi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/seidio-plam-pre-battery-adds-more-staying-power-retains-slim-fi/

It runs all day with average use from 6:30 am till 10:00 pm and still has a good 30-40 percent left. I am not sure why people think there is a problem? maybe its there service area I am in Orange county, CA I might have good sprint coverage. I always get a good signal
maybe the first few days of a new toy people cant put it down and there using it 14 hours a day I know i was like that :)

things are so much better now, has anyone else noticed this? ]]>Jul 9th 2009 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/seidio-plam-pre-battery-adds-more-staying-power-retains-slim-fi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/seidio-plam-pre-battery-adds-more-staying-power-retains-slim-fi/

And topical to this thread, extended batteries that work ok for a few weeks or so, and then fail completely. My most recent centro battery did that. Previously I had the older style extended centro battery that was double thickness. That one did work pretty wel, but the necessary replacement cover they supply with it crapped out and wouldn't stay snapped on after a couple months.

Don't claim this battery is any good until it gets to be at least 6 months old and it still good.

Until then, you can only go by past performance. Which is why I report all of the above.

Buy Seidio because there is no othe option and because its cheap so that the object in question turns out to be crap, you didn't lose too much. Do not buy Seidio thinking you will get a quality product. With this particular item being slightly on the high side , the cheap argument loses weight.
