With this battery and cover will my phone still be waterproof? The original cover has a (sort of) weatherstrip which encases the battery &amp; components.

No your phone will no longer be waterproof. Because you would have to remove the back door. Regards, Diana

Yes the extended battery cover fits. However, reception decreases significantly because the phone's antenna is located in the battery cover. The extended battery cover does not have a good antenna and reception suffers. I no longer use the extended battery or cover. I learned the hard way. Cheers.

I cover my battery with a waterproof camelbak cover, I wrapped the power cable at the battery with electrical tape, and wrapped the power connection to front hub with electrical tape. In light rain this has worked ok. I also carry a waterproof handlebar "mitt" for heavy rain to protect the throttle area.

Yes, Mine gets wet by waves all the time. I also leave it on my yak in the rain. The fish-finder is in fact waterproof. The battery is fine if it gets wet as long as its not submerged for any extended time. I have accidental submerged the battery under with no adverse effect.

I'm guessing that the reason the manufacturer didn't answer this question is that the only way this can work is if you remove that USB cover. Which would mean that the S5 is no longer water resistant.I believe a better solution is the Samsung replacement battery cover with the wireless charging built in - that retains the water resistance. The only problem with that solution is that no one seems to have found a bumper skin that fits the S5 with that (slightly thicker) battery cover.

i wouldnt advise you to ride in the rain without covering the battery with a plastic ag especially where the plug on the bike slides into the battery terminal.the battery costs too much to take a risk of causing water damage .i would also try to protect the trottle in heavy down pours.

Yes, the battery and cover do fit. My phone sure stays charged a lot longer. The cover fits tight so it takes some effort to remove it. I have had to remove the cover because I was having problems with the SIM card and needed to replace it. The battery is thicker which is why the new cover. It fits fine in my pocket and I'm really glad I purchased it. I would buy it again.

I have not seen the cover anywhere by itself. If you have the battery already and just need a cover, try a tpu case only. My son uses it this way and it will eventually, mold to the battery.

The battery is a normal pair of sealed lead acid rechargeable batteries that are used in many applications. (The translator apparently did not know the difference between "Seal" and "Sealed" when applied to batteries.) It won't be unhappy unless the water soaks the terminals, and then probably only if the water were ocean salt water. The bigger issue would be wiring and the electronics, both of which might be problems. I would not soak the Razor or intentionally drive it underwater. Incidental rides splashing through rain puddles on the drive way have not caused any problems so far. No experience with soaking rain. The water hitting your skin would not be comfortable, so I don't see it used in soaking rain much. I am sure the manufacturer would clearly disagree with everything I have said, insisting on dry use only. Have fun! Be reasonable, and it be OK.

The rain hasn't caused any problems, exposing it under water might be a problem make sure the charging/reset port is closed with the screw and rubber attachment that comes with it

The extended battery does work with the Charge cradle and the back cover still offers water resistance but can't attest to how long it would stay that way over the OEM back cover...

Ours is working good but we need to change the battery quite often. We did have trouble with it after a really big storm. It was wet inside so we dried the insides out and put water proof tape around the outside where it goes together and we haven't had any more trouble.

No, sorry for late response. It is not waterproof. On the back of the case the camera hole is opened and not covered with anything. Your phone would be exposed to water. Sony makes nice waterproof phones!

I would trust the back battery holder to stand up to the rain, but I'm not sure about the front part. I left a nice Petzl on the lawn and the sprinklers rendered it useless. I would call the company.

yes, the cover I have is waterproof, I would think you have a defective cover

I ordered 2 of them and are still going strong after 6 months. There are Orings that seal the actual tube for the batteries but how water resistant it is I am not sure. I would say rain would be fine but going for a swim would not be a good idea

Mine came with a outer covering that yes does cover the phone incase of rain. I found this hard to use, and didn't care for it. The outer covering can be put on or left off depending the weather.
