VX4500 battery questions

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

I'm considering buying a larger capacity battery for my VX4500. Does anyone know what the rating is for the battery that comes with the phone? Also, I've seen 1600ma batteries on Ebay that appear thicker than the original. Is 1600ma the max capacity, and can you get the leather case on the phone using the thicker battery? TIA

Its tight with the aftermarket 1600mah battery in the Verizon 2pc.
leather case.

Well, I've been able to answer some of my own questions <g>. The
original battery is rated 950MaH. The highest capacity extended battery
available on Ebay is 1700MaH. Still wonder if the case would fit,
though...

Yea, it will still go on. As far as the battery life, I couldn't really
tell any difference between the 950mah and the 1600mah. Maybe the 1600
lasts a half day longer.

I definitely agree, over rated big time.
