Seidio Innocell Battery for Palm Pre (Black)

5 Reviews

1. Makes the phone very thick, like holding a deck of cards, but it tolerable to gain battery power. I use my phone a lot and was having to charge it half way through the day. If I forgot my charger I was screwed…this will last from sun up to sun down on one charge. It’s wonderful

2. PRO: Extends battery life to the point where the phone can last for at least 2 days without charging it once with moderate use (checking e-mail, browsing the web for ~ 1 hr, making an hour’s worth of phone calls). Has come in clutch for those 30 hour sessions on-call in the hospital w/o any easy access to a wall outlet. Also, it can work with the touchstone; I bought a modified back cover from a third party and it’s worked great so far (the mod is a little expensive, but I’ve gotten too used to the touchstone).

   CON: As everyone has mentioned, it does add some thickness to the phone and takes away from the sleekness, but its a small price to pay knowing that I don’t have to be as vigilant about charging my phone all the time.

3. I decided to order this battery a mere two days after owning my pre plus because of the horrible life in the stock battery. I would take my phone to work (on a 4 hour shift), and with some relatively light use the battery would easily go from 100% to 60%. After I got the Seidio extended battery I no longer after worry about battery life. Using the phone at work through my 4 hour shift only drained the battery 10%. With heavy heavy use the battery will still be above 60% by the end of the day. By heavy use I mean constant texting, a few phone calls, gps radio on, brightness half, pulling data constantly from 3G. Get this battery if you don’t want to worry about your battery life anymore. The added bulk is not that bad at all.

   The reason I’m giving it 4/5 stars is because I do notice that my phone restarts randomly once a day with this battery in there. The restart is very brief though, only about 20-30 second reboot. With the stock battery (which I still use sometimes) that never happens.

4. Like the increased life. Does make the phone thick but will still fit in case.

5. The Palm Pre Plus makes a high demand on a battery. If you use multiple applications continously the standard battey needs to be charged constantly. This battery will lower the amount of times the Palm Pre Plus will need to be charged. You can look for an almost 100% increase in availiable power. But heres the catch my battery up and died on me one day. I kept getting a battery symbol on the screen. In effect my phone was dead in the water. I waited to get home to put the standard battery back in my phone. To my relief the phone booted back up. The good news Amazon sent out another battery the same day and it arrived in the mail the following day. I am reluctant to use the extended battery, because I rather contantly charge my phone with the standard battery, then get caught out there again. Just a fair warning your taking a chance with this manufacturer. I also bought a the extended case(Seidio) and it kept popping off. Buyer Beware.
