Rezound battery (fits tbolt) for $19.99.......

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=selectPhone&phoneId=5723&archetypeId=12848

it will say $39.99 until you add it to your cart. then it goes to $19.99 with free shipping. it's a 1620mah so it's about 25% more powerful than your stock tbolt battery. PERFECT if you want an extra half hour of use time and a few more hours of standby, without bulking up your phone.

i'm guessing this is just today? but it gives no details. doesn't even show the sale price unless you add it to your cart.

Just ordered one myself. Thanks for the heads up!

(same price, as noted, $39.99, add to cart - it's $19.99 with free shipping)

Sweet! I just ordered one and hopefully it helps with my batthery life. My battery is usually dead by 9:30 a.m. after being unplugged around 5:30 a.m. (4 hours). I'm in a new LTE area and my battery life has significantly decreased since 4G came online.

while i love 4g and use it sometimes.......i mostly leave mine on 3g and can get through the day, as opposed to only getting 6-8 hours. i use the ap called "LTE OnOff" to set it to "cdma auto prl" and then when i'm going to be downloading large files, installing many updates, or streaming video, then i just swith it to "LTE only." on 3g i can get 2-2.5 hours of actual use and another 10-12 of idle time. on heavy use days though, i just need another 30-45 minutes of usetime to get me through and i'm hoping this battery gives me that!!!!!

Azsaluki, I know this is off the subject but you know that if you got the latest GB update, you do not need that "LTE On/Off" app. You can switch between 3G and 4G/3G throught the Settings on your phone. Go to Wireless & networks and scroll up until you see Mobile networks and select this. Select Network mode and you are given two options "LTE/CDMA" and "CDMA only". "LTE/CDMA" is 4G/3G and "CDMA only" is just 3G.

I finally gave up on having a constant 4G connection and like you have reverted to 3G for 90% of the day and only switch to 4G for downloads or streaming. I too use the LTE OnOff app to switch between the two since it's easier than going into settings.

that requires 5 touches (menu, settings, wireless, mobile nework, cdma). the app only requires 3 (touch the app, touch the drop down menu, touch what you want.) :smileyhappy:

the app also allows for LTE only so it's not jumping back and forth.

So, I ordered mine on Monday night. Got a order number, but Verizon has no record of it!!! Any else have this problem with their order?

no....i got mine yesterday. monday was HUGE for online sales though, so i'm not that surprised. just give them the order # and ask them to honor the $19.99 price. i'd be surprised if they don't honor it. did they charge your card for it?

When I call in about the order number, they insist there is no record of it. My card was charged for it. Even when I go to the order status page, it says "page cannnot be displayed" when I enter my order number. But if I enter a fake order number, like 123456789, it shows the actualy page that the order could not be found.

Verizon is stumped and so am I. This is frustrating!

Hi guys. "Long time listener, first time caller". :smileyhappy:

Just tried this link for the battery, and clicked on the compatibility checker.

Verizon says that it is NOT compatible with the Thunderbolt.

Did anybody else get this message, and have they tried this battery in the Thunderbolt? How well did it perform?

they will say that because it's made for the rezound, but it works. right now i'm at 6+ hours of awake time and 2 hours and 20 minutes of actual use time with 48% left. it's the first power cycle so it hasn't calibrated true yet....but that's GREAT if you ask me, considering that i was on 4g/LTE with hotspot running for those 2+ hours of actual use!!!! already lovin it. old battery would be dead right now.

I agree with AZSALUKI. I received my battery today, fully charged it and it works extremely well. It is the same battery, just 1650mah. Buy it! Its worth it!

AZSALUKI

update.....i don't know if it's because it's not quite calibrated or if it is in fact slightly different.....but my battery stats don't seem to be very accurate. i shut it down at 59% and when it rebooted, it showed 69%. at one point it was stuck showing 43% for hours. i do know i'm getting quite a bit more life out of it so i don't really care, but i thought i'd just warn you that i am having issues with the battery stats.

AZSALUKI

update:

the baterry is calibrated and stats are now running accurately so i thought i'd share what type of usage to expect from the rezound battery:

AZSALUKI

so you're looking at getting a full day with what i consider pretty heavy use (4+ hours) off of a full charge. this was at nearly 20 hours off the charger with just under 4 hours of actual use, and i still had 23% left. i find it a great alternative if you don't want the bulky extended battery. fyi....i have a ton of apps and regularly check fb and play words with friends. email pushed every 15 minutes. my screen is at about 35% brightness. i do use timeriffic to turn off the radios from 11:45 pm to 6 am
