Why is my extended battery for the LG Chocolate so big?
Sorry, all extended batteries are large than standard ones. You get almost double the battery life... Think of it this way - can you fit almost twice as much water into the same size cup?





With the Chocolate it actually makes the weight of the phone more balanced and easier for texting...





I'm sure you'll get used to it. That phone needs it.
Reply:Larger batteries are required to hold more energy. There is a finite limit to all electronics. Why can't you use a AAA battery to run your car? They only hold so many electrons and discharge is based on the size and application.

Reply:the extended battery is huge!! i know!! i had one but it annoyed me soo mcuh! so i stuck w. the normal one. just stick it on the chargerr every night! good choice of phone.. i hav a green one and a white on [i broke the white one =P] and i %26lt;33 i reccoment the chocolate for all people looking for phones. it jsut overheats easily.





to answer your question, stick wityh the regular one and keep the other one handy incase your normal one runs out. just make sure you keep the spare in a non-loosable place..
Reply:ALMOST EVERY EXTENDED BATTERY IS BIGGER TO HANDLE THE BIGGER CAPACITY. BIGGER ISN'T ALWAYS BETTER IN THIS CASE I GUESS. IT CHANGES THE WAY IT LOOKS, BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS IT WILL LET YOU TALK A WHOLE LOT MORE. THE SKIN PROBABLY WON'T EVEN FIT WITH THE EXTENDED BATTERY ON IT. I ONLY USE MY EXTENDED BATTERY WHEN I TAKE TRIPS AND I ALSO USE MY STANDARD BATTERY AS WELL.


GOOD LUCK.
Reply:How do you expect the battery to hold a longer charge without an increase in size?
