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.
