Kraski, The battery came with a microchip that duped the factory battery without a computer. I have reset the phone and the battery doesn't need to be recalibrated. There are a lot of s*** batteries out there, but the gold one is legit. The sellers name is e_cell.

I will ask you to use some logic, because don't you think that RIM (the most famous company for prolonged battery life) would have included a gold battery with that capacity already with the phone? Those gold batteries are still cheaper than an OEM battery from RIM. So don't you think they'd include it or sell it claiming that much more capacity if they could? lol.

So have you used the Blackberry Analyzer to prove that your battery is actually lasting longer instead of possibly getting your hopes because of a new O/S?

I haven't but I can verify that my batterly has been much better because of the of the battery saver option. I go full days with moderate web surfing, hours of listening to music and calls here and there and my battery life is about 30% at the end of the day.

Well lets get some graphs up and see if we can see how well this O/S battery optimizations are. Im sticking with .205 for the moment until I get some better proof instead of "yeah its great on the battery" comments with no actual data. My .205 has a drain rate of 3.25% and the highest drain is Memory Booster and then the browser. Some hard data is an excellent way to compare O/S's. Btw, that is over a weeks time frame for those statistics.

Their fame for battery life is based on past history for the phone using juice frugally, not high capacity batteries. There was no need for high capacity batteries. Fast forward to OS6 and OS7 and there is a need. But RIM and whoever they use for batteries have no experience building high capacity batteries or designing them not to have an effect on the comfortable usability of the phone or the looks of the phone. And, as much as RIM says it's going to continue supporting OS7 devices, their focus right now is on the upcoming BB10 devices. So, let me ask you to use some logic. If you were RIM, would you divert engineering resources toward higher capacity OS7 batteries or keep everything focused on making the new BB10 product the best it could be, including battery life?

I find the 9810 battery lasts way longer. But to be honest, I only got my 9810 one week ago, so it has to prove its self à little bit more.

Why is everybody raining on eachothers parades, please don't.

I'm pretty sure Apple holds the title on battery life (mostly because they use 3G). My experience with battery life on the 9810 has been abysmal. So bad in fact that I can say for a fact that I can literally count more hours when I'm using the gold battery.

Berry Junkie, there is a micro chip that comes with the battery. you have to sync the old battery code with the new one when you first get it otherwise the phone does not read it as OEM. To sync you acually have to put the new battery in so the phone can write an error code, then you take it out and link the two batteries physically with the chip and it works. It's not any thicker than the original battery.

AcADIeN, I cut a little section out of the foil sticker and it appears to be just one sticker. I weighed both batteries on a scale and the gold one is a few grams heavier.

Enjoy!

the last .190 I use is horrible, esp in US which I roam last week.
I have just upgrade to the leaked .258 yesterday and i will be in Beijing today, will see how it works..(too bad .258 has no Chinese input..)

interesting, I am a 9810 user just want to give 9900 a try

I've been using .258 for a few days know and I think the battery life is the best of any 7.0 or 7.1 OS I've loaded thus far.

Have been on .258 for a few days on my 9810 and per Device Analyzer, my battery drain rate is 1.41% with moderate use. This of course will easily get me through a day or two.
