forgot · 07-21-2007, 06:26 PM

Seidio has released a new 1600mAh replacement battery for the Treo 680 and 750. It will provide a 25% increase in power over the stock battery, without having to replace the battery cover. Its available for pre-order now here for $49.95. The site states it should begin shipping the week of July 30th.

Cheers for the info on the new battery, its great they have produced a battery that does not require those ugly extended covers, makes the Treo look horrible

I already have 2 standard batteries, but will be ordering one of these, as it will be very handy

Will order in the next few weeks.

After reading all the complaints about Seido on the TC forum I'm in two minds as to whether to get one

Complaints

What sort of issues have there been Taz?

There were quite a few people who had batteries fail on them but the main issue was how Seidio dealt with, or rather didn't, replacing them. Seems their customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

Thanks for the info., will wait to see what fellow Treonauts think once they have started selling the battery. Our other problem, is the VAT charge when the items come across from the US, and the couriers handling charge. If only these batteries were sold in the UK

I've heard the same thing many times about Seidio products, and probably won't be one of their first customers. However, this may be the solution many others are looking for. I personally have had no experience with Seidio customer service.

Thanks for the headsup on the more powerful but regular sized battery> I will probablt try it out soon. Maybe when I get back from boy scout camp in a couple of weeks I was hoping that Seidio would get hopping on something like this. Hopefully we can get it in the treonaust store soon>

Tell you what if you do get one keep us posted as to if it was worth the spend and that you got an improvement on the use of your Treo
