1800 mAh High Capacity Battery X30
If I were to purchase an 1800 mAh High Capacity Battery for my x30, would I be able to use it with a factory installed aluminium case?

No, the battery stick out too much. I am planning to cut my Innopocket with a dremel to make it fit but did't get to it yet.

Piel Frema makes a case you can use with the extended battery. People have also qouted that the Krussell case will fit, but not to the cut outs of the case. Check aximcases.com for more info.

The Piel Frama case for the Extended battery works as well as the Bellagio case. Also, you should check out the battery special in the Aximsite Members Discount forum.

It does make you wonder why one of these companies wouldn't produce an aluminum case that can adapt to the battery...

Looking at the X50 pics, it seems like X30 owners have the better deal for battery size, even though the X50 capacity may be larger.

I'm looking forward to trying one of those 1100 batteries soon and perhaps selling the 1800 that I bought with the system.

Wish I would have found aximsite BEFORE the purchase.

I am trying to convince few companies to start making such cases, not sure if it will be possible but we have a chance!

As to answer original question I would strongly suggest Piel Frama extended battery cases!

I too wonder why no one yet has made a 'tough' case that will accomodate the extended battery. It makes perfect sense, since one of the typical uses of such a battery is out of doors where such a case is a better choice than one of the leather types that does accomodate that battery. One day.....

Maybe the demand for these case type is not there yet.

Anyone know if the 1800 extended battery will fit in the case that was shipped with the X30?

Yep, when I want to use my X3 in a case with the 1800, I use the case that shipped with it . . .

Thanks, I think I will just use it for now and hopefully someone will come out with an aluminum case for the extended battery SOON!

We can all hope now, can't we? In the meantime, you can always buy a case and have it modified at a local machine shop. I'm sure that they wouldn't charge that much. In fact, I've got friends who are machinists. Should I ask for a price?

Finally, I have convinced a factory to start making aluminum cases for X30 with Extended Battery. I am shipping out a battery as a working sample today, hoping that these cases will be out in about few weeks.

Any suggestions please let me know!

Any idea on price? I would think with your prices on the regular aluminum cases they might be an extra $10 or so???
If you think they might be out in a few weeks I might wait and buy the extended battery and alum. case from aximcases.

The price is not yet set, however it should not be more than $35. We are planning to run specials on the case and battery when purchased together!
