HTC Incredible Battery Life Review
Published on behalf of Wideawake.
Many HTC Incredible users aren’t happy with their battery life while using the OEM battery provided by HTC. After seeing many complaints, users are saying the battery is not so incredible. This has lead me to find a solution to these complaints. I, PPCGeeks Owner, Wideawake have personally taken time to compare the OEM battery and a Seidio battery provided by our Mobihand Store on PPCGeeks.com. Below are the details of the tests I ran with each battery.
In my testing I found that the Seidio battery lasts 4 hours longer than the OEM battery. The reason for this is because of the mAh (milliampere-hour) size of each battery. Physically the batteries are the same size. The difference between the two batteries is that the OEM battery from HTC has 1300 mAh, while the Seidio battery from Mobihand has 1750 mAh. Functionally speaking, the Seidio battery lasted 12 hours and 43 minutes while the OEM battery only lasted 8 hours and 22 minutes.
Breakdown of usage concludes: (Tests were ran at 14% battery life left)
OEM Battery Usage
21% Google Maps
21% Call Standby
19% Android System
14% Phone Idle
11% Camera
8% Display
4% Voice Calls
2% Dialer
Seidio Battery Usage
20% Google Maps
19% Call Standby
19% Android System
14% Phone Idle
12% Camera
7% Display
4% Voice Calls
2% Dialer
3% Wifi
In my conclusion I found that the Seidio battery wins over the OEM battery. This is a major difference in the battery longevity. The Seidio has the potential of being the number one battery for this device. This Innocell Extended Life Battery is designed for the customer who needs extra life, but doesn't want to add any thickness to their device.

I’d be interested in this battery if they ever shipped me my Incredible

Curious as to how accurate the link I just posted is. Anyone know?
Has anyone tested a tp2 battery in the incredible yet?
Actually yes jer07734, wideawake used his tp2 battery also and found that it also lasted longer than the OEM battery.
Ninjamom, they look legit to me.
The 1750 mAH battery beats the 1300 mAH battery in device life.
News at 11.
I wonder if the Evo 4g battery life will be much better since the Incredible is the same phone without 4g? I know it has a 1500mAh, but it also will probably eat alot more data too.
I have a question, so it this an extended battery that physically looks the same as the OEM battery? If so that would be great, because I always hated extended battery for that reason…My smart-phone already has a good size to it, adding an extended battery would make it even bigger & bulkier!
@Sauske –
Excerpt from the article; “Physically the batteries are the same size. The difference between the two batteries is that the OEM battery from HTC has 1300 mAh, while the Seidio battery from Mobihand has 1750 mAh.”
@rehtonAesoohC –
LMAO
@NinjaMom
I was about to post the same link. It could be just some advertising to buy the battery from the ppcgeeks store.
Good try ppcgeeks…good try
Seidio batteries are the best. I have used their stock sized replacement in my Touch over a year and a half, and it’s still going strong. Regardless of the device, I plan on replacing the stock battery with a Seidio every time. off topic but I also like their screen protectors.
The Evo is not the same device as the Incredible. Are you crazy? @kenny21 -
The Evo will be way better.

I would like to try this battery, but when you select the Incredible as the model phone you have it states that its not compatible with this phone. This makes me wonder if I should buy it. Has anyone had a problem with this battery and the Incredible?
If you use ATK, the battery last just as long as my tp2.
