So the 2100 is the same size as the standard Motorola battery and I can use the battery cover I have now. But the advantages are neglible?

Is the 3200 the same size as the standard extended battery and I can use the extended battery cover that I have now??

Thanks.

No, the 2100 mah is the same size as the Q9c/m extended battery, so you can use the door for the EXTENDED battery that Motorola sells or if you have a Sprint phone, the one that comes with the device. The 3200 is bigger and needs its own door. Seidio is or at least was the only place to get this door so far.

But, you really need the biggest battery you can find if you're a power user.

I understand that totally. My gripe is that i paid this money for a battery that was supposed to take up the same space as my Motorola Extended battery, but have more power, and it doesn't. I don't do anything elaborate with my phone, send literally a couple of texts a day, and make between 10-15 calls that are for never more than 5 minutes, and now i am finding it dead after a day. That isn't the performance i am expecting out of a high dollar "super awesome" battery.. Especally when my motorola extended battery was supposed to be less power, and it used to last LONGER.

let it die out then recharge it fully then let it die out again and repeat for a few times

batterys have memory and charge in sections if you charge it soon as it get half way it remembers that i have had no problems with my 860 battery so far but then again i just got my moto q and not get all my contacts in it and i don't surf the web as much as i thought but will find out in the next couple of days if the battery lasts for me

i'm thinking to go with a 3200 but i'm thinking a 21 could be better for me

but thats my two cents i remember some guy works for seidio here and was replacing defaulty battery's might wanna go back a few pages and find him and pm him

Yeah, that's what i did when i first got the battery. I would put it on the charger, let it charge overnight untill i got the "charge complete" message on my phone, then i would let it die, literally to the point where my phone would shut itself off. I did that for about a month, had no problems, except with the short battery life.

I read alot about the Seidio's on here, seen alot of very good reviews. I guess from now on, i will just stick with what i know, which in the past, has just been the OEM batteries. They just seem to work better :-\

it could be your moto aswell you got a verizion or sprint? i have verizion and its been about 12 hours now on my 8600 and its still beeping please recharge i sent 33 texts's today talked for about an hour and surfed on the web for 2 hours i was going to a page putting it into my pocket at work i work in a deli so i get few time to play with it but it seems like a deccent phone to me i'm wondering if the 3200 is just over kill for me or worth the 60 bucks chance

maybe you got another bad battery or seidio isn't for your moto lol

I posted pix of 3200 about a year ago to show how it looked, the battery is still going strong! I like having two batteries... the thin OEM for day to day work stuff, partying..... i use the 3200 for camping, long days on the boat,and fishing cause its a great MP3 music player. I can listen to tunes, take calls, texts, navigate with GPS dongle and not worry about battery dying.

I hear ya...had my 3200 for almost a year and use it everyday since I got it. Still strong...not sure how long it would last as I charge nightly but I am at at least half battery before charge with serious usage...serious!
