This is crazy. I dont use my phone heavily but I used to be down to 75% at the end of a day from a previous nights charge. It has been fully charged since tuesday morning and this morning it is at 90% still... impressive.

Mine is sitting at 90% in my 8703e for the 3rd day & that is with moderate phone & data use. Folks, there are allot of after-market products for the 8700 series bb's but this is BY FAR the best one. Get it today! Seidio, you have outdone yourself on this one!

Going on 27 hours unplugged now, ~16 hours connected to bt headset, ~80 emails, ~1 hr of phone use, and about 20 mins of net surfing. Battery is at 80% currently. Impressive....

Morning #3... Still haven't plugged in...

Heavy Email
Moderate Internet
Moderate Phone
Bluetooth Power is ON w/ headset connected while using phone

Battery 80%

VERY NICE!!

Just now dropped to 75% on the third morning. My phone would of been plugged in last night with the factory battery. Im wondering if with the way I use my phone I will be able to recharge once a week. Using 10% of the battery a day its looking like I could easily do that.

Please let us know if you can recharge once a week

Day two: powered on for approx. 28 hours. Fairly heavy phone usage (half of which with BT headset) combined with heavy e-mail. No web, but occasional GoogleTalk.

Battery life is at 50%.

There's no way I would have come anywhere close to this with the OEM battery.

Additionally, while I was originally concerned about the increased thickness, I'm now finding it preferable to stock.

Edit: Also worth mentioning that the above has been almost entirely in EV-DO coverage areas.

I agree - the extra thickness seems to fit better in my hand and it feels more secure. I am also loving the new battery - I had the RIM extended battery and can tell a difference in battery life.

Day 5 - 55% this morning. would of charged twice by now. I am really impressed and I will definately only have to charge once a week if that.

I do the regular 10-20 text a day 10 or so emails and half and hour or so of talking. Mind you on the weekends it is used more, I do not see myself using 50% in the next few days. I dont even have the Auto on/off feature setup so this runs all the time. 133% more seems to be an under statement. Awesome product and this is my first product from seidio.

My father has the Pearl and he uses the battery in a day, I am trying to get him to buy this to see how it does under a heavy usage.
Seidio how about sending a few things our way for the sales pitch we are giving?

[martin_j001]

I can definitely see only having to charge once a week with this battery. I was down to about 55% yesterday afternoon, with 3+ days of use on it....

[cmpugh]

I will probably charge mine tonight for the first time since Monday...

It's down to 30%...
Probably 40-50 emails a day
20-30 text per day
30min+ talk time per day

Unbelievable product!

Did you charge your 8700 on the night of 1/13 ?

[buggle_96]

Charged mine last night and it was at 30%. It will last a week with my style of use on my BB. I wanted to charge it to be safe for today, but with 30% it would last another day.

[macallik]

Mine lasts about 3 days now compared to sometimes half-a-day with the OEM battery. Great investment in the blackberry..

Whithout searching, what is the mAh rating of the standard battery in the 8703e? I charge mine every night wether it needs it or not - often times it's still at 80% after a days use. Since I'm in a fringe area, I though that was pretty impressive in itself, since I swapped in my MotoQ (whose life with the extended battery would be less than 1 day) for the 8703e.

Nevermind - the standard battery for the 8703e is 1000 mAh.

I'm going to assume this wont work with t-mobile's leather holster.....

If it is very tight fit, it may not.
