1300mAh Battery for Treo 680/750 Now Available

I think the whole point is to give people who were gonna buy a 2nd Treo 680/750 battery anyway some MINOR incentive to purchae this Seidio option.

Now, if Sidio were charging $15 MORE than Palm for 100mAh more then I'd give this one a thumbs down. But come on, given the choice between Palm's $50 1200 mAh battery and this one for $35, I'd take 100 more mAh for $15 less anyday! And even if it only adds a few minutes of runtime to the battery life that's still a few more minutes you wouldn't have had before.

Of course, the best scenario will still be whenever someone manages to cram something like a 1600 to 1800mAh battery under the stock 680/750 battery door.

Uggggh. Was hoping for the 1600. I thot I remember the Seidio rep saying something about it?

1800 would be great, but 1600 would still give a 1/3 increase. This battery might be acceptable as a backup instead of the OEM tho. Although, something in me says it's actually the same capacity as the OEM, with an 8% marketing increase. Afterall, who's putting these things on the mah scale anyway?

As hkk noted, this is cheaper than Palm's replacement battery, so if you were going to get a spare you might as well make it this one. (probably should have put the price in the news item...)
