About LinkBacksHey Gang. My first time posting on here. I have a question:
I've seen some pretty good looking extended batteries for my Droid X for some attractive prices on eBay. However, I think I read on a thread that the extended batteries won't charge in the the actual phone. Is this true? Is there a way around this? Or do I have to invest in one of Verizon's extended batteries for more than 2x the price of the one's I'm seeing online?
Thanks in advance!

12-28-2010 10:21 AMEbay batteries are mostly fakes. The extended battery will charge in the device.

12-28-2010 03:06 PM95% of aftermarket batteries are garbage. Don't believe the capacity. A crap 2500mah aftermarket battery will probably not outlast a OEM 1500mah hour battery. I say stick with OEM legit batteries from a place you could return if it need be.
Also, I think the X won't work most aftermarket-you get an error. -

12-28-2010 08:41 PM+1 couldn't agree more. When dealing with batteries, get it from a company that's known or OEM. 95% aftermarket no-name batteries are pure junk. I have the oem extended. I get like 20 percent more life per day. Not a huge improvement but recommended nonetheless.

12-28-2010 08:45 PMOn an added side related to my previous post, I learned this the hard way about batteries. I have a macbook that needed a new battery. Saw oem for like 100 and A no name battery for 30. I went cheap and the 30 dollar battey lasted ONE charge cycle. The battery lasted 10 min per charge after that. Ugh...don't make my mistake with your X!

12-28-2010 09:16 PMI have two ebay batterys they are the same size as the original. they charge just fine in the phone. i wont like they dont last as long but just to be able to carry an extra battery around it gives extra juice and for $10 bucks for two batterys and a external charge its not a bad deal.

12-28-2010 10:55 PMCool. Thanks for all of the advice. I get a 25% discounted from my job so I think im better of taking most of your advice and getting a good one from Verizon. Thanks again guys!

12-29-2010 09:50 AMWhat software version are you running? Many batteries will not work as the phone checks to see if they are authentic. Originally Posted by brutalness
