Amazon D3 Batteries

[DroidMoose]

The vendor is re-shipping my order of a battery.

I viewed ebay last night for the first time and looks like some options on there. I have not ebay'ed in so long I will have to start all over.
Anyone buy a battery from ebay AND found it works well, shipped on time etc?

My Ebay order of 2 BF5X (not moto) 3.7V Litium, 1500 Mah with charger arrived today. I am testing them out. This order came from E-Gadget town that has good ratings on Ebay. Shipped from Brooklyn New York.

The battery fits in the phone which is a good start. I will be running my phone on the generic batts on and off to see how they go.

Still waiting for the reshipped order from CA. I will update on that when I have updates.

I bought two of the 1950 unit batteries and they seem as good or better than the 1500 unit one that it came with. Got two stand alone chargers as well. Now it seems they are selling three batteries and a wall charger for an absurdly low number. The batteries work fine in my D3 though.

Forgot to add..I paid US$11 for 2 batteries and a wall charger..free shipping.

not sure if I should keep this one, get a replacement, or go to the verizon store and compare the boxes to see if its legit.

The only thing you'll get at the VZW store is overcharged for the same product. The two backups that I have work as good or better than the original, better in that they have about 20% more capacity.

I am starting to agree with this. I got my 1 battery from Amazon delivered (~$18) and the 2 batteries and charger from Ebay ($12) and so far do not see any difference from the stock battery.

Internet searches show how crazy people are over charging trying to build in profits to prices.

Just one more happy buyer here. What a great deal. 3 batteries and a charger for under $15, and the batteries have amazing life. I obviously don't know how long they will last, but thanks for the info. Shipping was fast as well.

No, they work fine with the normal battery cover that came with your phone. It is a little tighter fit, but the cover snaps on fine. In many ways they just take up the slack with the Moto original battery. Also, I find the replacement batteries are a little tighter fit in the battery compartment. I think it is a technique thing, but I can't yet just slap them in...only done it 3 times so far.

I am getting 24 hours on these batteries, with 60% remaining...that is with battery saver on maximum save. Today I switched to performance mode, I'll see how it goes.
