Friday freebie: HTC ThunderBolt Seidio 3200mAh extended battery

By Phil Nickinson  | Jun 10 2011 | 3:02 pm  | 481 Comments

Seidio Innocell 3200mAh Super Extended Battery for HTC Thunderbolt 

The mother of all extended batteries for the HTC ThunderBolt just dropped into the Android Central store -- and being the benevolent bloggers that we be, we're going to give one away right here, right now. This massive 3200mAh extended battery from Seidio has more than double the juice of the stock battery, and it comes with an extended battery cover with soft-touch coating. And, best of all, it fits the new extended battery cases as well.

So. Wanna win one? Just leave a comment on this post, and we'll pick a winner at 5 p.m. EST. You'll need to be in the United States, and have a ThunderBolt, of course. Good luck!

Update: And the winner (chosen at random) is ... LethalDonkey!
