Comments on: 3200mAh Seidio Extended Treo Battery Review

Seidio are quickly making a name for themselves in the high-capacity Treo battery market. Beginning with their earlier Treo 650 2200mAh and 2400mAh batteries back in 2005, Seidio have quickly brought larger batteries to market for every subsequent Treo device. Yet even 2400mAh is not enough for many Treo power users, especially with the 700p’s mysterious battery drain that many users are experiencing.

Short of a major ROM update from Palm, a higher capacity battery is the only way around this problem. Enter the Seidio 3200mAh battery, boasting 77% more power than the stock Treo 700 series batteries.

It makes life easy when you take all the risks for us by buying and testing these things. Seidio, keep em coming.

Blame Ryan ;-)

I sent him a number of close-up and profile shots of the battery mounted on my 700p pics. I guess he didn't get a chance to post 'em because he's going skiing this weekend.

Gekko, it's all starting to make sense now.

 Seidio Retooling Extended Battery Door

Many owners of this product have been plagued with bad fitting extended battery doors with uneven and sometimes rough edges.

Seidio informed Treo 700 users on the TreoCentral forums that they would be retooling and making new and hopefully improved extended battery doors, and will inform us when they are finished, at which time replacements would be issued to those who request them.
