Exactly what I needed!!! I love how long the battery lasts!

great battery!

Innocell 2600 Extended Battery

User: Elliot Rodriguez, Mar 23, 2011

Pros: Excellent battery life!
Cons: Have to fiddle with back cover to close properly.

Great battery life. Able to talk all day without having to recharge the battery.

LOVE IT

User: Bobby Lee, Mar 17, 2011

Pros: Unlocks full potential of phone w/out concern for battery
Cons: -

I bought this for the BB and it�s a beast. Charge lasts two days even with streaming IHeart. It bumps the back out but that actually makes it more comfortable to hold and still fits in the cradle chargers I have (charging pod).

Exceptional Battery Life

User: Jerry Shakal, Mar 8, 2011

You get what you pay for with the Innocell 2600mAh Extended Battery. I easily drain my stock battery in less than a day, talking on the phone as much as I do. With this battery, I get twice to three times the battery l8i9fe on a single charge. Well done.

Loooooong lasting

User: Allan Schur, Feb 23, 2011

Twice as long as the standard battery?? At least, in my experience. The battery IS bigger so you have to use the cover that is included with the battery. No problem though - it still fits easily in my holster. The larger size of the battery does mean that it is too high in my charger for the cover to close. The cover comes done to about a 45 degree angle BUT it doesnt affect the operation of the recharger. Fully discharged batteries take longer to recharge but they should be ready overnight. Anybody need a standard battery - I wont go back!!!!

worth every penny

User: chris allen, Feb 3, 2011

i have had this battery since September. once in awhile i will put in my stock battery but it is a joke on how fast it drains.

this battery adds a little weight and a little bump that i feel makes the phone easier to one hand the device.

on a heave heavy heavy day i can still come home with 20-30 percent. thats with phone calls, bluetooth, pandora and constant emails and bbm all day.

i really couldnt live without this battery. i dont know how people dont have this.

Excellent buy

User: J H, Feb 3, 2011

Pros: Extended batt life
Cons: Slightly more bulky

Bumped my batt time from 5hrs to a day and a half. My usage consists of almost always on wireless, surfing, texting, messaging, with GPS, bluetooth, and all devices activated. I regularly talk on the phone in addition to the data usage about 2-3hrs a day as part of my job. So I went from 4-5hrs from a fresh charge, to about a day and a half with the same usage. Now I dont have to have a car charger or desk cradle, so Ive actually saved money by not having to acquire and keep those things handy. A great buy.

great battery

User: Frank Williams, Dec 29, 2010

Got this is a a stocking stuffer for my girlfriend and now Im jealous. I wish they made opne of these for the Torch

Innocell 2600mAh Extended Battery

User: Rick Hinrichs, Dec 27, 2010

The longer life battery has worked perfectly and given us the phone life extension we needed for our emergency operations situations. Ordering more for rest of crew.

extended battery for bold

User: Diana Jones, Dec 22, 2010

Pros: definitely extended my phone usage
Cons: -

I would recommend this to anyone..made a big difference in my blackberry usage.

works as promised

User: Laurie Griffin, Dec 15, 2010

Pros: fits nicely on the phone
Cons: you do need a holder that can fit over the battery

The battery doesnt add much bulk but it does significantly extend the time between charges.

Finally!

User: Brian B, Dec 10, 2010

Finally, a battery that not only gets me through the day without recharging, but 2 days now!

Works Great

User: Barry McCray, Dec 7, 2010

Its nice not to have to charge may phone as often.

Great

User: Gary Speas, Nov 22, 2010

Pros: LONG LIFE
Cons: None

This is a great battery. I use my cell over 2000 minutes a month not counting everythibg else. Its just great

gets me through a full day of talking with clients

User: Adam Webster, Nov 20, 2010

Pros: I can talk several hours and even play some games throughout the day
Cons: none

The included cover fits snug and the battery is long lasting. I wish my tour would have come with an extended life battery.

Got Power Now

User: Rich Man, Nov 19, 2010

Pros: sleek, good feel, OEM-like, long-lasting
Cons: bulky, hard to remove

Needed longer lasting battery some apps are consuming too much energy - now have power for several days without having to put on charger during the day. Its somewhat bulky so finding a case that fits is next to impossible. The looks of the covere are really OEM-like. The battery and cover are easily put on, but harder to remove.

Great Battery!

User: Larry Bizarro, Nov 17, 2010

Pros: Amazing improvement over the OEM battery.
Cons: Replacement rear cover is tough to re-open for battery pulls.

Absolutely no complaints about the battery and its great lasting power. The replacement rear cover needs some work but for me wasnt enough to deny a 5 star rating.

Seidio Extended Battery

User: Mark Saliture, Oct 18, 2010

Pros: Absolutely Fantastic
Cons: The battery cover is not well made Hard to get off

I am able to use my BB Bold for a much longer time thanks to the extended battery

Will This Battery Cover Fit Otter Cases?

User: Jason Young, Aug 4, 2010

Pros: Excellent, excellent, excellent!
Cons: None, besides maybe restricting certain phone cases?

My only concern is whether or not this battery cover will fit into any of the Otter cases? Pricey cases and want to be sure. I work construction industry and need a strong case.

Great improvement

User: Harold Harding, Jul 6, 2010

Pros: It lasts all day and not too thick.
Cons: Battery door could hsve been better.

I really like this battery. It is so nice not needing to have to carry spare batteries. Blackberry should have put a better standard battery in the 9650/9630. I am a Realtor and with emails, text messaging and phone calls, the standard battery would be dead by 2pm. With the Seidio 2600 it will last all day long. The only thing is the battery door. It is kinda cheap. It does work in the charging dock but you have to wiggle it a little bit to get it to connect and it dont have the looks like the Verizon door has but it is well worth the money.

Super battery

User: Leon Washington, Jun 10, 2010

Pros: Seemingly unlimited usable power
Cons: none

This is a great battery! It supplies plenty of power for even the heaviest user. The extended door still allows it to fit in the OEM case included with the phone. It just feels good in the hand, too. Maybe this battery should not be standard with the phone, but its little brother, the 1700 should be, because the standard battery is definitely, er, inadequate, to say the least. I love it and recommend it to every Bold 9650 user.

WORTH EVERY PENNY

User: Mike O, May 5, 2010

Pros: It lasts twice as long as the 1700mAh
Cons: none

The DX-1 battery that comes with the Tour is a joke. I couldnt get from 9am-5pm on it and Im not a heavy user. I bought a Seidio 1700 mAh battery and it was good for about ten hours. Frustrated and not wanting to buy a 3rd battery for $60, I reluctantly bought the 2600mAh and it is awesome. I can do a 15-hour day, put to sleep at night and make it through at least half of the next day before I need to charge it. I have a "glove" style case for the tour and, although its a bigger battery, it still fits in my case. Blackberry should be ashamed of themselves with that DX-1. The 2600mAh is worth every penny.

WORKS REALLY NICE!!

User: Patty O, Mar 4, 2010

Pros: great battery life, slightly thicker
Cons: slightly heavier, battery door issue

WOW!! Got this and charged it up for 8h as instructed. Full charge lasts around 3-4 days for me (Im not a heavy internet or mp3 user) then charges up overnight. As some complain, I like the extra weight & thickness. It feels more secure in my hands. My only complaint would be the arm to remove the new battery door. Unless you have longer nails it is much more difficult to lift up the release to unlatch the door than the original. Definite plus is that it fits the Seidio "screen in" phone holder. Everyone asks where I got this great product! Maybe Ill get another one as a backup...

The only battery to have

User: Rick Sheldon, Feb 26, 2010

Pros: Awesome power
Cons: Battery door is a bit of a disappointment

When I had my 8330 curve I bought an extended life battery for it but it didnt seem to have as much life between charges as this battery. I believe I will always own blackberries but before I select which one to purchase I will first check to make sure that you offer an extended life battery for it.I cant say enough about this particular one. It is AWESOME.

WORTH THE PRICE

User: mike gardner, Feb 6, 2010

Pros: everything
Cons: need to buy new protective cover

This battery hould have been in the phone as standard equipement. the original battery for a regualr user is the pits. I put this new battery in, charged it. and it ran for 2 days with full usage, emails, web, map program. the next weekend went to Vegas, on Friday, didnt charge it till Sunday Morning, the new cover fits better than OE. It is still slim enough to fit in the pocket. Of course Crackberry delivered as advertised. Exceeded expectations!

Great Product

User: Troy Sipes, Jan 13, 2010

Pros: Excellent boost in battery
Cons: None so far

I received this battery 2 days ago (Thanks again Crackberry for the super-fast shipping) and gave it the recommended 8 hours of charge before normal use. Now 36 hours later, as I check my Tour (Running 5.0.0.419 fyi) and it shows 75 battery remaining. What an outstanding improvement! Once upon a time I used the OEM battery and had to charge it every night lest it die early the next day. This battery stands to give me 3-4 24hr periods without a charge no more stack of OEM spare batteries in my bag!!

All that being said, Im still disappointed in the battery door for the Tour. Im not sure if this is a Seidio issue as much as a RIM issue but it still feels flimsy. While the Seidio back fits snug and doesnt move around, it isnt the quality Ive come to expect with the Storm 1 & 2 battery doors.

Regardless, if youre looking for a way to extend the battery life on your Tour, this is a must have accessory. Make sure to Google "Crackberry discount" as Crackberry tends to run some sort of discount code which gives a percentage off the order mine was 16 which made 2-day shipping free. Great job Seidio!

Works a treat

User: Das Gypsy, Nov 24, 2009

Just received this in the mail today and checked usage (how I use the phone) Fits snuggly in the OEM holster, fits in the OEM charging pod, does not however work with the OEM silicon skin (I expected that) is a little heavier but definitely feels more substantial in the hand. To anyone considering this for the extended battery life go for it, you wont find cause to look back.

Great product!

User: Ruth Alpers, May 31, 2011

I have gone from charging up every day to every 3-4 days. Even with the added size, my Blackberry still fits easily into the holster I have had for a long time, so its all good!

Great battery

User: Master Chief BT, Dec 1, 2010

Pros: Phone still fits in original case real nice
Cons: Battery door hard to open

If you are looking to get seriously more battery life this is a great option. Phone fits in original case real nice. Not as thick as some extended batteries Ive had in the past. I would say this is a must have for any blackberry user.

EXTENDED BATTERY

User: JOHN M, Nov 23, 2010

Pros: EXCELLENT
Cons: DOES NOT FIT IN CRADLE

EXCELLENT BATTERY POWER BUT DOES NOT FIT IN BLACKBERRY CRADLE.

Significant Improvement

User: Chris Primeau, Nov 5, 2010

Pros: It works
Cons: Doesnt come standard

Much, much better than OEM battery. All of these advanced PDA devices should automatically come with these higher capacity batteries.

Extended Battery

User: J A, Oct 31, 2009

A heck of a lot better than the stock battery but still not good enough for a heavy user. I went from not a full day, with the standard battery, to a maximum of almost two days with this battery.

Yes I know, a 100 gain is good (and well worth the price) but with my previous phone (Voyager) I could get almost a week from a 1600mah battery (given it has less "ummmmph" than the BB). I would think a 2600mah for the BB should last nearly a week anyway. Maybe Im too picky -)

DEFINATELY worth the money if you cant stand the OEM battery!! Ill keep using it until something better comes along.

good battery, poor connection/fit in charging pod

User: M G, Oct 27, 2009

Pros: -
Cons: does not make connections in charding pod

Great battery - after upgrading from the Curve to the Tour, I was anxiously awaiting the extended battery for the Tour to become available!

I read reviews stating that the phone would fit into the charging pod - I have two charging pods, and the phone does NOT fit/charge in either unless I remove the back cover. It appears as though the plastic on the new back cover is just slightly raised around the metal contacts on the phone, preventing it from charging.

Seidio Innocell 2600mAh WOW

User: mark kay, Sep 24, 2009

I got my extended battery for my tour its perfect!!!!!! except on the battery door where you pull to remove battery cover its kinda got a gap and plastic instead of chrome kinda cheezy.But the battery life is amazing i can go 2 days without a charge..(connected to bluetooth headset and i talk like 4000 minutes a month)highly recommended. IT CHARGES PERFECT WITH MY CHARGING POD which was a big highlight when i was considering purchase

Great power, so so cover

User: Robert Havens, Sep 18, 2009

Pros: Fast charge and long lasting
Cons: Cover is not the perfect fit

Waited for this to actually be in stock before ordering. When it arrived, I took my cover and stock battery cover off. Then installed the battery and looked at the change on thickness before I replaced with the new cover. Looking at the cover it is nice, matte black, soft touch (feel) with the SEIDIO label near the latch. I checked the battery level and it was at 50 from the status page. The only real issue I have is with the fit of the cover at the bottom, below the latch or button where you move it to open the cover. The cover can shift slightly sideways which if not centered makes it feel and look out of place when you look closely. It also has a small gap that you can see a little but you do feel the gap "close" when you change the hold on it with your hand. I know it is hard to explain but it is not terrible but it is noticeable.

Now a good thing or two about compatibility. It works perfectly with the BB Charging pod for the Tour. The Tour drops into the pod as usual and has no problem making the connection to the charging contacts. The other great thing is for those of us using the stock holster that came with the phone. Even though it is a little more snug that stock, it still fits without issue, the device goes into holster mode without issue and the top strap on the holster still fits into place with the magnet holding it as well.

I rated it 4 out of 5 only because of the little issues with the cover fitment. If I could have given 4.5 or 4.75 I would have.

Gotta love double the power and battery life!

Almost there...

User: Harold Anagnos, Jun 10, 2011

Pros: Great battery life
Cons: Lid over battery struggles to snap on the phone

Battery life is great almost three times compared to original. There are issues with the cover lid. It does not snap on without extra attention and it tends to want to un-snap. Removing lid is also not easy. Lock needs to be pried with thumb nail.

wish they would make a cover for phone with the battery

User: nola 316, Feb 3, 2011

Pros: extended time
Cons: no cover for the phone as with previous models

The battery adds a day to the phone. I used it with my storm too. However, my issue is that Seidio chose not to make a cover for the phone to protect it as it has done with all bbs up to the tour. Seidio, please reconsider.

About That Cover

User: Chris Schatz, Aug 18, 2010

Pros: Charged up nice (so far)
Cons: The Cover Seems Cheap

Well, so far the battery charges up fine and I get decent extended life. But I have to agree with others in that the cover from Seidio is definitely lower grade. Much flimsier material than the original Tour back cover. There is also gaps in the latch area where the chrome should be. This gives me cause for concern regarding moister .. Well have to see

worked fine for one month

User: H Steinacher, May 1, 2011

Pros: worjked fine for one month, battery life was as advertised
Cons: after one month drained just like the original

Awefully expensive for a one month use as advertised. Then it was back to charging before the day was over.

Battery Tour extended life

User: Chuck C, Sep 23, 2009

My Blackberry Tour with the new extended battery and back door does not charge in BB charging pod without removing the back door first. I read an earlier review which said it did work and I purchased based on that information. Kinda dissapointed! Is it just my charging pod??

will not hold up

User: greg blankenship, Jan 20, 2012

Pros: looks nice and fits well
Cons: lose of charge

I purchased this battery 14 months ago and the first year it worked great,but i would have to be recharged on a daily basis whomever said 3 days in previous reports is just not accurate in my case, now after 1 year i can make 1 phone call and the battery is drained, stay with the original battery much , much, better.

Bold 9650 Extended Life Battery

User: Stuart Harper, Oct 7, 2011

Pros: -
Cons: Extended Life Phone back doent fit

If I really tried to put the case back that came with the extended life battery I woudl have briken off the tabs. Lousy items. It looks like no one ever tried to acctual put the back on or I got the wrong back withthe battery. cant explain the good reviews.

Only lasted for a month

User: Bob Anderson, Oct 23, 2010

Pros: none
Cons: everything

Worked great for a month, then wound up no better than the original battery. Wont hold a charge longer than 6 hours now! Im getting rid of the POS Blackberry and their POS batteries!!!

Majorly Dissapointed

User: Bill S., Mar 17, 2010

Pros: It WAS working great...
Cons: Then it stopped working all together

I was surprised to read about someone elses issue that I had with the same exact battery. One moment it read 60 remaining, and then next thing I know, BLACKNESS. It will not accept a charge with an aftermarket charger or the BB charger. Fortunately, it didnt damage the phone and as soon as I placed the default battery in my Tour it worked without a hitch.

I was getting excellent life out of the battery with no complaints whatsoever, then that happened. I was seriously disappointed.

Started Good

User: floyd elliott, Oct 31, 2009

Pros: ?
Cons: lasted 3weeks

i bought this and it was amazing at first. i was getting in excess of 2 full days of life out of it. about three weeks later the life dropped drastically to less than one day. several days later it would not accept a charge from iether my BB ac charger or car charger. crackberry told me it was just over 30 days and they couldnt do anything. i contacted seidio direct and was given an email address to warrany dept.. nine days later i have not gotten a reply. crackberry did not step up to solve the problem and seidio isnt either for a batter that is 5-6 weeks old. very disappointed and will not purchase from crackberry or seidio ever again.
