Extended Life Batteries

"Actually, I stand by my original post. The D2 battery, which is the battery the OP is referring to, is a 1300 mAh battery. The D2 extended battery is 1860 mAh .

Therefore, you divide 1300 by 1860, which comes to .70 or 70%. The remainder of the 100% is what the extended battery has to offer, 30% more."

Sorry, your math is all wrong. Think about it this way:
According to your numbers, the extended battery has 560 MORE mAh than the original (it offers 560 more mAh than the original). In order to determine a percent increase FROM THE ORIGINAL, you have to divide that increase BY THE ORIGINAL. 560/1300=0.4307 x 100= 43.07% MORE mAh than the original.

Just curious as to where you are getting your numbers from.
Both the og droid and the droid 2/global use the bp6x battery, which has a capacity of 1390 min, 1420 typical.

The bp7x has a capacity of 1820 min/1860 typical. I must be unlucky because both my stock and extended battery are rated for the minimum :/ but i digress! Simple math tells us that;

A)1390-1820=430
B)1420-1860=440
C)1390-1860=470
D)1420-1820=400

A)430/1390= 31% increased capacity
B)440/1420= 31% increase
C)470/1390= 33.8% increase
D)400/1420= 28% increase

I'm glad I'm not the only one scratching my head, thank you.

If you'll read my first post on this thread, you'll see that I quoted the same numbers as you for the Droid's battery specs (1390 min/1420 typical).

If you notice in the post that you quoted me from, I started out by saying "According to your numbers," (because they weren't accurate).

Also, in another post on this thread, I agreed that the extended battery should theoretically increase available power by about 33%.
 
Eh sorry, maybe you should actually quote people instead of using quotation marks :/

this isnt related to extended batteries but underclocking definitely saves a lot of power when the phone isnt in use.
 
Its not the over or underclocking that gets to me, its the fact that with this locked bootloader I cant change the kernel to lower voltage settings

True, I didn't notice you have a D2G. ULV and LV kernels never seemed to do much for me. From a technical standpoint they dont make sense (to me at least), considering when you overclock an actual x86(_64) processor you increase the voltage until it becomes stable at a desired clockspeed instead of decreasing it, following this logic I tend to go with SV or IV kernels.
 
Ah the actual use is for setting the voltage as low as is stable for the underclocked frequencies, and it can save a considerable amount of battery say during work or travel when the phone is mostly in idle.

Extended Life Battery

Just got my extended life battery. It has made a tremendous difference. I can get through the day without charging and it still fits my Body Glove case. Would highly recommend. Thanks for all responses. dancedroid
 
I think you guys need to get a background in electrical theory. None of your figures are correct. You guys haven't taken into consideration any usage factors or anything else. Each phone will drop differently. If you really wanna get technical about it. I'm not thinking this is what the op had in mind though. Yes in extended life battery will help. Will it make a noticeable difference? Yes I probly will. Then your consumption will probably go up as you will use it more.
