Motorola Droid X 1840mAh Extended Battery

This video compares the stock 1540mAh battery to the 1840mAh extended battery for the Droid X. The extended battery comes with a new battery door because the battery is about 1mm taller than the stock battery. However, in this video I made an observation that many people would find useful - that the original battery door can fit over the extended battery, keeping the slim profile.

Disclosure: Use the original battery door at your own risk, some users have said that it caused some undesired effects on the screen. However, 3 weeks in with my Droid X using the BH6X battery with the original battery door has never caused any undesired effects on the screen - no touch sensitivity mishaps, discoloration, etc. However, this is a disclosure to warn you of the possible risks that some have claimed. Feel free to ask me any questions about this setup if you're interested!

have you had any problems with the LCD so far? i know its been a while since you posted this and i was looking into buying the extended battery but dont really want to use the extended door

@moki4

Almost half a year, and no LCD problems. Use at your own risk, however.

Have you found a case that fits the ext. battery cover and door?

[meltedxice]

@badderthanyou

Sorry, I don't use cases, but I know most cases can deal with a 1mm rise in the back. Just make sure.

[beacon003]

where can i get one and how much?

[meltedxice]

@beacon003

Check Verizon retail stores or the Verizon online store.

Why didn't they just design the phone with that battery? Douchebags.

@AwwC00L because you use it like a pussy

I just got a 2600maH...lasts 3 to 4 days, but the door is very noticeable. I'm currently looking for an Otterbox or something to protect it.

[unonice]

I can't get the stock door to fit.. Wish I saw this video before I got the extended battery.. Oh well, got to buy the door..

Good video dude..

You may need to re calibrate your battery to show accurate charging level.

[EL90291]

There is many different extended battery

most 1840mAh will fit and use the original cove

the 2200mah,2300mAh will need the extended cover

If the difference in thickness is just 1 or 2mm you can use the original cover.

Omg thank you for this the battery sucks that you get

[JokerColors]

Using the original door with the ext. battery puts pressure on the screen. Which you don't want to do.

There's no damage to the legs but there is to your screen lol.

Hey thanks for the video! What did you end up doing with your old battery? I am considering purchasing the BH6X extended battery, and then an external battery charger for my original BH5X battery as a spare...

[baseballhunter99]

i like the slight raise. it gives the phone a tough look like the incredible.
