Riva 750mah battery vs Joye ego 650mah battery

[michaelcly]

I want to get an extra battery for my Joye ego. I have Joye eGo 650mah now. I am considering the Riva510 750mah. Does anyone know if it's compatible? Longer? heavier?

I don't want a heavier or longer battery. Are other other alternatives?

Looks exactly the same.

Edit: I have both and the only difference I can see is the button looks different.

If your getting a new battery, you should really consider the 900-1000 mah battery. Yes, it's longer but mine lasts about a day and a half.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to try the 750. When we got our ego kits, my wife's first response was "those are too big." So I got her a Joye 510. Within a day she was back on the eGo. Battery life on the ego has been fine for us...I just thought the extra 100mah would be a good thing.

My Riva 750mah battery is 2.75 inches tall or about 7cm.

The one difference is the metal band on Ego batteries is recessed so the button protector clip may stay in place better. The metal band of the Riva batteries is flush with the colored battery body.

As swedishfish said, they are virtually the same with the exception of the button. I feel the same way about battery life; the 650/750mAh batteries last me a full day, so there isn't much reason to go larger. The new 1100mAh eGos has a turnoff feature that is a great improvement, though.

The 100 mAh rating difference likely won't be enough difference to notice. Rivas are a little cheaper so if you're looking for the same battery it's a little better value imo. The button and the band are a little different but that's all.

If you get the Riva SE 750 it comes off the charger at 4.2 v and I think is better than the ego 650.
