You know its so hard to determine ussage thay10 said he gets 4 hrs heavy usage I can believe that because I have done it myself. I have the extended battery also and I can run that sucker down in 8 hrs if I get rockin. Guess what Im trying to say its not the battery its how you use it that determines how long it lasts. Thanks

So i just got my extended battery today and when I installed it, it had a 75% charge. I charged it up to 100, but I was wondering if I need to calibrate it as well...

I read an article that said calibrating your battery is useless I never did mine like I said If I really really push it I could wear it down in 8 hrs I use about 10GB of data a month. My extended battery lasts me all day and I am in 4g area. Its all about how you use it. Your extended battery no matter how you use it is gonna last almost twice as long

I got 13 hours of usage on my new extended battery yesterday. This was my first full day with it, and would consider my usage very heavy. I was also on 4g majority of the day. Couldn't be more pleased.

The only bad thing about the extended battery is that it takes so much longer to charge. Often times when I unplug it expecting to be full its only at 70%. I would charge it at night while I sleep but isn't it bad to leave it plugged in after its fully charged?

No, it doesn't hurt it at all.

Take a look at Charging Lithium-Ion Batteries for some information. One thing to consider; the Bionic when plugged into the Multimedia Dock and used as an alarm clock will be plugged in all night.

Nope. The charging circuitry will interrupt the charging cycle once the battery reaches full charge and then will maintain the charge level with short topping off cycles.
