Review: Seidio 2600mAh battery for the 9650 - Enter to win an extended battery!

By Jared DiPane on 22 Mar 2011 12:28 pm

Contest: Keep reading for details on how to win an extended battery for your device!

If you are like me, and struggle to get a full day per charge on your standard battery that came with your 9650, then you are probably looking for new battery options. While hunting around, I came across the Seidio 2600mAh battery for the 9650, and while initially I was rather hesitant to add the size to gain the capacity I decided the pull the trigger on the battery anyways, and give it a shot. This decision is one that I am forever going to be happy with, and let's hit the jump together to see if this battery is also right for you.

Initial Impressions

Upon first glance of the battery door I immediately thought it was going to be too bulky, and would become a pain to carry around, but after putting the battery in the device, and adding the door I began to think otherwise. The battery unfortunately requires a new door, which many people don't seem to like because it has the Seidio logo instead of the BlackBerry one that we all know and love, but the flow of the door is actually very smooth, and assists in holding the device.

The Size

seidioside

We all know, the biggest thing that is holding you back from just placing the order right now is the size that will be added to the device, but think beyond just the size. The extended battery door only adds 3 to 4 mm to your device, which when you think about it is really nothing for the amount of battery life you will add to your device. The bump that is caused by the new battery door actually provides a place which was used to rest my index finger during phone calls, which made holding the phone more comfortable.

If you are a user of the device with big hands, you have probably noticed that the device is extremely thin, and after holding for a period of time can be uncomfortable in your hands, but the additional bulk that is added by the battery allows for a more comforting grip, and allows for long term useage without hand cramps. So, how much more will you gain per charge with adding this bulk?

Battery Life Enhancements

seidioside

A big part of accepting the additional bulk was the hope of all the additional battery life, and knowing that the device would last more then a day, even with heavy use. The D-X1 battery that comes standard in your device is a 1400mAh battery, and this replacement is a 2600mAh battery, nearly double the size capacity, so my hopes were held high. On the standard battery I had Twitter set to only a manual refresh because I could not afford the battery hits, as well as Facebook set to manually refresh, and had to limit my browser use, so I was excited to put these all into full force. Immediately set SocialScope to auto refresh, and 1 hour refresh on Facebook, and turned the brightness back up to 100% instead of the 30% that I was used to.

It is recommended by Seidio to charge the battery for a full 8 hours prior to use, so I installed the battery before heading to bed, and took it off the charger when I woke up the next morning, excited to see the life I would get. Generally my daily use, which starts around 6am, includes less then 30 minutes talk time, at least 100 inbound emails that are read, mild text messaging, BBM, and Twitter. Generally, by 8pm my device is in the yellow, shortly followed by that fun red battery that we all know and hate.

Day 1, which we all know batteries take a few days to break in, I was left with 40% when I went to bed at 10pm, which is a rather significant improvement, considering all the changes. When heading to bed I put the device back in the charging pod, which it does still fit in, and charged it up for day 2. Excited as always I started my day, and went about normal use as always, and this time when heading to bed at 10pm I was left with 60%, so I decided to risk it and see if I could leave it off the charger and make it through another day. I won't lie, I was a bit worried about making it through day 3, but surprisingly I hit yellow around 8pm, and then put it on the charger shortly after.

Average battery life from then forward was around 2 full days, with my usage patterns. This will of course depend how many applications are used on your device, how much time is spent on the phone, and if you stream music, so results will vary, but on average I did notice more then double on the life, which was my anticipation in the first place.

Pros

Comfort during phone calls
Extended battery life
Added size does not add much weight

Cons

No cool BlackBerry logo on battery door
Battery door is difficult to remove

Conclusion

If you couldn't already tell, for me the negative of the size was outweighed by the positive of the battery improvement. The abililty to make it through a full day, regardless of how much usage was needed that day without worrying about the device dying was a huge plus. If you need more battery life then you can get from your standard battery, and think you can handle the size of this battery, don't delay the purchase any more, pull the trigger, you won't regret it.

i_hiker Mar 22, 2011 at 2:08 pm

Use the 1700mAh now...wouldn't mind a 2600 to take for a spin!

Culex316 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:29 pm

I'd love a Seidio extended battery for my Bold 9650!! It would be perfect for my upcoming trip to Europe, where I probably won't have easy access to a charger!

mnemonicj Mar 22, 2011 at 12:30 pm

as long as it is free..

jzajac Mar 22, 2011 at 1:56 pm

Agreed. Nothing to lose here...

leocapot Mar 22, 2011 at 12:30 pm

I need one so bad! I use my phone so much that it would be AWESOME if i win! Thank you so much!!

jdhuttojr Mar 22, 2011 at 12:30 pm

Please put my name in, was just looking at buying this battery! Thanks,

rednex269 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:31 pm

Would love to try out a bettery battery and get a taste of Siedio products..

Mr.Hutz Mar 22, 2011 at 12:32 pm

I would love this for my Torch!

oneram Mar 22, 2011 at 12:32 pm

Please pick me. Thank you!

Diggs31 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:34 pm

I was just looking into getting this...but as a college student on a budget I would GREATLY appreciate winning one for my 9650. Great review!

dizadee Mar 22, 2011 at 12:33 pm

yes please!!

crigga84 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:33 pm

Would love one for my 9700.

Mario_Brewed_For_Thought Mar 22, 2011 at 12:33 pm

yes please

SilverSfr Mar 22, 2011 at 12:33 pm

I could use a Seidio extended battery for my 9700.

boman06210 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:34 pm

This plus the new 524 leak would equal like 4 days of battery for me haha please?

RatfinkStooley Mar 22, 2011 at 12:35 pm

Hook me up please :)

bilmaga Mar 22, 2011 at 12:35 pm

Hope I win for my 9700

wx27 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:35 pm

I've gotten an extended battery on most phones prior to switching to Blackberry. Maybe it is time to try one out.

Mushu118 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:36 pm

My 9650 battery last about 1/3 of the day!

Curly62 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:36 pm

Hook me up please, need to stay charged longer...

BerryDavid Mar 22, 2011 at 12:36 pm

I currently have to use 2 regular bartteries to make it through the day, so an extended battery would provide me much needed freedom.

livejam Mar 22, 2011 at 12:36 pm

9650 here, this will help me bridge to the playbook soon for days!

Sophie110106 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:36 pm

I would like to win!

dispatcher307 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:37 pm

I HAVE to charge my battery at least once in order to make it through the day. If I have to go out of town or go in and out of service coverage, my battery dies unless I can charge it along the way. This would be great.

FatSajak Mar 22, 2011 at 12:37 pm

I won't EVER argue with extra battery life!

mercerudy Mar 22, 2011 at 12:38 pm

I'd like one. Thanks!

HTATE2 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:38 pm

me me me its my turn
thanks

WistarsBB Mar 22, 2011 at 12:38 pm

Who wouldn't want one?

bpgui Mar 22, 2011 at 12:39 pm

I win

SRR500 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:39 pm

A single battery would be a easier than carrying around a spare in my pocket.

Appz- Mar 22, 2011 at 12:39 pm

Yeahh again a nice contest =D!! Would love one for my torch xD!!!

redman8 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:39 pm

That sounds great...ty

drkknyt98 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:40 pm

It would be great to have an extended battery for my Torch. With all my beta apps and themes I run through the standard battery in a half day. Great to have on that will last longer.

dhhoffm Mar 22, 2011 at 12:40 pm

Would love one, thanks CrackBerry and Seidio!

bigbadwolf078 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:40 pm

Hook it up

jlb21 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:40 pm

Sure, why not.

lalunanegra Mar 22, 2011 at 12:41 pm

oh so need this *fingers crossed*

royinferno69 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:41 pm

This would be a perfect battery for my Bold 9650!! The addition of the thickeness doesn't look that bad at all actually, I welcome it! :) this would be perfect as I'm constantly on my phone and find it difficult to make it through a whole day without charging it in the middle afternoon. I would love to win one of these bad boys :D

tandaina Mar 22, 2011 at 12:42 pm

I hate to say it, but the real drawback to that replacement door is the blackberry no longer fits in most cases. My Commuter case for example, a no go. That's a big drawback for those of us who need our blackberry protected. Mine went in a case within the first hour of use and has never come out. Too bad, an extended battery would be nice, but until they can get it to fit in a good case (NOT a skin) I won't be using one.

robertdusa Mar 22, 2011 at 12:48 pm

Agreed. Would be nice if Otterbox and the others made cases that fit the larger batteries.

baker954 Mar 22, 2011 at 4:03 pm

Search YouTube. I watched a video the other day that showed someone slightly modifying the Commuter case (the inside flimsy rubber) for the extended battery.

Looks like it would "Seamlessly integrate" with the Commuter!

dpolletta Mar 22, 2011 at 12:42 pm

I could use this for my BOLD 9650.

hellnback76 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:43 pm

I want one!, but then I would I have to get a new case I guess, I love my otter box though, But I want more juice!

StaplesJohn Mar 22, 2011 at 12:43 pm

I would love to win one, I only hope that this one will have a longer overall life cycle than the previous Seido extended batteries I have purchased, non of which made it over 1 year. This can be compared to stock batteries I have for a Treo 650 that is still running strong or any other of my many devices that have had the same results.

Jake Storm Mar 22, 2011 at 12:43 pm

You can never have too much juice!
I'd take one for my 9780.

robertdusa Mar 22, 2011 at 12:44 pm

Yes please! I'd love one for a friend with a power hungry 9650.

mulleralan Mar 22, 2011 at 12:44 pm

This would be great for my long study days, and I've never rly won anything b4. Please and thank you so much for offering this contest

RDslva Mar 22, 2011 at 12:44 pm

Cool! I wouldn't mind one. Bold 9780. Preferably one that doesn't protrude out the back...

infinus Mar 22, 2011 at 12:44 pm

these batteries are not available in my place...
so, i am kind of natural contender...

CrackCargo Mar 22, 2011 at 12:50 pm

Just started to have a battery life issue with my Bold 9650 the last few weeks...the extended battery would be a lifesaver !!!

prown01 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:51 pm

Count me in

mcutworm Mar 22, 2011 at 12:51 pm

I need extra battery life

clevername Mar 22, 2011 at 12:51 pm

I wouldn't have to fully charge twice a day any more.

wayfarer58 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:53 pm

I need more power! At least power for a longer time.

Bill_Johnson Mar 22, 2011 at 12:53 pm

Sure would like one for my Style! Thanks for hte chance to win one!

jaBBu Mar 22, 2011 at 12:53 pm

Be nice to have the extra power (and avoid the hunt for a plug during the day).

lev874 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:53 pm

It keeps going, and going, and going, (oops wrong battery). Count me in

abekalapaz Mar 22, 2011 at 12:53 pm

I will love to have this extended battery. My normal battery last only up to mid-day with normal usage. Having a batter that will last at least a full day will be just unbelievable.

dsj3 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:55 pm

Lucky me. I wonder if there is a case for the 9650 after you install this battery?

mavsguy842 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:54 pm

I'm curious about how it's holding up after about 6-8 months, as that's when I've started to notice the factory battery has lost some capacity.

cemotyz09 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:55 pm

Put me in the running

renzokuken.tan Mar 22, 2011 at 12:55 pm

I want it too, yeay...

pdcmdbb Mar 22, 2011 at 12:56 pm

Seidio and RIM should deal and make these standard on all BB's! Thanks Seidio and Crackberry for a great contest.

tarheel810 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:56 pm

I have been interested in hearing about someone using this battery for a while and now I want one, bad!

bana1124 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:57 pm

an extended battey wouldn't be a bad idea. That might help with being out and have no way of charging your phone.

newbenin Mar 22, 2011 at 12:57 pm

this will be a life saver

dcalvert2 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:57 pm

It would be great to win because right now I am flipping through multiple batteries to keep me up and running.

sbaran Mar 22, 2011 at 12:58 pm

runkle55 Mar 22, 2011 at 12:58 pm

itr themes Mar 22, 2011 at 1:03 pm

Yes sir!

hydrostaticdd Mar 22, 2011 at 1:05 pm

The extended battery would work perfect with my busy days. I own a business and my phone is my connection to ALL, customers and employees. I constantly plug it in wether Im in the office, in the car, or at home. You just never know when you will be pulled away for an extended time and need it charged.

Eric379 Mar 22, 2011 at 1:05 pm

I'd love to have one of these. I work on the streets as a paramedic and use my phone all day and all night. I depend on having my phone charged at all times. Some extended battery life would help a lot!

crackberrykyle Mar 22, 2011 at 1:05 pm

I talk a LOT on my 9650 and struggle to make it 2pm. I could really use this!!

abdul Mar 22, 2011 at 1:06 pm

TMFoughty Mar 22, 2011 at 1:37 pm

Please pick me...

joebeans Mar 22, 2011 at 1:44 pm

My position as VP Worldwide Services for one of the North Easts leading Chauffeured Transportation companies requires that my Bold 9650 stay on 24/7...needless to say I am constantly charging my battery when in my car, office or at home...seems I can't go anywhere without my chargers. A Seidio 2600mAh battery inplant sounds like just the ticket to lighten my load and eliminate carrying one or maybe two battery chargers with me thorugh out the day.

sosmrt Mar 22, 2011 at 1:39 pm

I really could use an extended battery. My phone can't last a whole day.

eli.mendez Mar 22, 2011 at 1:39 pm

I wouldn't mind trying one =D

jay_man33 Mar 22, 2011 at 1:40 pm

I'd love one as a gift for my wife.

I loved this review but the price is very steep. Maybe I will be lucky enough to win one of these. In the meantime, I will be looking for deals on this elsewhere...

spazn4u Mar 22, 2011 at 1:41 pm

I am digging this!!

lunch007 Mar 22, 2011 at 1:42 pm

I would love to try this out on my 9330, I charge my phone at least twice a day.
Summer is coming up and I will be back to work and I will be using the nav on my phone a lot and will need as much extra juice as I can get.
Goodluck to everyone!! Hope I can get this!

It's so ironc that I just was looking at my 9650 thinking how the battery dies so quickly, which in turn made me think to look on CB and this was the first post! Hope I win!

Flip4Bytes Mar 22, 2011 at 2:01 pm

OOMMMGGG HOW BAD I WANT THIS BATTERY :D (Very bad!)

kanexperience Mar 22, 2011 at 2:01 pm

Helloooooo

chucksredvette Mar 22, 2011 at 2:01 pm

This would be great addition to the phone.

Ntchwaidumela Mar 22, 2011 at 2:03 pm

I've had this battery for about 8 months, and I love it more every day. It actually works better now than it did the first time I used it. The phone feels more solid with this battery, and it fits just about all chargers. I try to run it all the way down every so often, just to get a full charge, but it takes a couple of days. The cover comes off a little easier with use. The fact that it doesn't just almost fall off, like the stock back with use, actually gives me a sense of security that it won't fall off by accident. The only thing is that it won't fit into the custom hard cases. But I hear Seidio is working on a case for that purpose. Hurry, Seidio! However, it will fit into soft skins AND the leather cases for the 9650. Overall, this is an excellent investment.

ajwitzel Mar 22, 2011 at 2:04 pm

I have yet to win something, but I have to try. It's like I'm playing the lottery :-)

Would my BlackBerry with this battery door still fit inside the belt clip/holster that came with it?

MrMara Mar 22, 2011 at 2:05 pm

Glad to hear I won. Thanks guys!

bluegreen1965 Mar 22, 2011 at 2:08 pm

Spectacular! I'd love one.

AcADIeN Mar 22, 2011 at 2:10 pm

RVVillesis Mar 22, 2011 at 2:10 pm

I'm doing same as you (i.e., manual refreshes) to make sure I can get through a full day without worrying about my battery. I'd love a free extended battery to be able to set a few apps to auto-refresh with confidence. Pick me!!!

silverkrab Mar 22, 2011 at 2:11 pm

And I need

rockerboy402 Mar 22, 2011 at 2:11 pm

damontech Mar 22, 2011 at 2:14 pm

gklatv Mar 22, 2011 at 2:23 pm

Although this battery would prevent me from using my beloved Otterbox Commuter case, I'll be thrilled to give it a try.

razor1973 Mar 22, 2011 at 2:23 pm

I could definitely use all that extra juice!

squintyboy Mar 22, 2011 at 2:25 pm

jaider26 Mar 22, 2011 at 2:25 pm

jodonnell Mar 22, 2011 at 2:25 pm

I hope i win.

tewhite01 Mar 22, 2011 at 2:26 pm

I just purchase the Seidio 2600 mah battery from CrackBerry.com LOVE it! No more having to charge the phone in the middle of a heavy use day. The only con is there are limited cases that will fit around the phone with the larger battery door.
