BlackBerry Pearl 8100 Seidio 2600mAh Extended Battery (With Battery Door)

Product Description

The Blackberry Pearl Extended Battery provides approximately 170 % more capacity than the 900mAh battery that initially ships with the device. This is the answer for those on the go. Even with heavy phone and data use, this battery will keep your Pearl going throughout the day.

Packed with a lot of power into one battery, this product only extends your BlackBerry Pearl 8100 by 5-6 mm. Many find that the extended battery cover actually makes the BlackBerry easier to hold.

You will also receive one battery door for your device with your purchase. Because of the fingerprint issues associated with the BlackBerry Pearl 8100, the door is a little more matte than the original. Please keep this in mind when ordering.

The battery door also has a speaker opening for better sound quality and volume from your Pearl and cut-outs for the camera opening and self portrait mirror.

PLEASE NOTE: This Extended Life Battery will increase the size of your phone making it too large for standard fit cases.

CrackBerry Expert Review

Seidio 2600mAh Extended Battery for BlackBerry Pearl 8100

Reviewed by Gary Mazo

If you are in need of more power from your Pearl – look no further than the Seidio 2600 aMh Extended Battery (with battery door.) The difference in battery life is truly amazing. A typical user can go three to five days without needing a charge – as opposed to most users who need to recharge every day.

I would imagine that for road warriors and those who journey far from home for extended periods of time, this would be invaluable. If you get the most out of your Pearl by using the media features, using the GPS, using WiFi or spending lots of time on line you will see a dramatic increase in battery life.

This does come at a cost – and that cost is both aesthetic and overall bulk. The battery weighs a lot and this is noticeable. You also can’t use your standard cases or fit the Pearl quite as easily into your pocket.

Excellent battery so far.

User: Travis C, Jul 22, 2008

Pros: Much better than the stock 900mAh battery.
Cons: -

After 18 months, my Pearls battery life has gone from about 3 days with moderate use, to about 1 day of moderate use before the battery is ~25 percent.

I ordered this extended battery last week, and received the battery in two business days, and packaged well. The battery was triple-sized, just as the picture shows, along with the backplate to install it with. The molded backplate actually makes the phone easier to hang onto. With this battery upgrade installed, my phone still fits just fine into the holster Ive got, and more securely, too!

My phone is noticeably heavier, but thats not a problem.

Lastly, the whole reason for buying the battery was for the extended life. I charged the battery for 10 hours after receiving it. Then I didnt bother recharging it again for about 3 and a half days. After 84 hours of runtime and moderate use, the battery showed 55 percent.

I am very happy with this battery.
