Seidio Releases Slim Extended Treo 680/750 Battery

Treo 680 750 BatteryOne of the most eagerly-anticipated upgrade for heavy-duty users of the Treo 680 and 750 has been a Seidio's extended battery that fits under the stock battery door. While the previously available 2400mAh Treo 680/750 provided double the life of the standard battery, it had an ungainly hump and required an aftermarket battery door.

Now, Seidio has managed to cram a full 1600mAh extended battery into the stock battery size. This extended battery enables Treo 680 and 750 users to have ~25% more power while maintaining their devices' sleek formfactor and the original Palm battery cover.

The slim 1600mAh Seidio battery now brings the Treo 680 and 750 up to the same level as the newer Treo 755's battery design without adding any thickness to the phone.

The Treo 680 extended battery is available now for $49.95 plus shipping.

For Treo 680 and 750 users who require more than 1600mAh, Seidio still offers their large 2400mAh battery bundled with a replacement battery door in the full range of Treo 680 colors. This battery is available for $49.95.

Thanks to LiveFaith for the tip.

That is something that definitely appeals to me.
I love my Treo 680 so much I think this is a very justifiable upgrade investment.

I just followed the link in this article to buy one.
Guess what... $28.00 USD for shipping! (I think, as the fee table is not clear)

So 49$ for the battery and 28$ for shipping; that is crazy.
Forget it.

If you can hold out for a week or two this battery should show up in the PIC store, which has very reasonable shipping charges to Canada and the US.
WOOT!
