Cingular Go Phone: Slim Li Ion Battery for the Motorola RAZR V3 Review

Like the other review stated, the battery lasts only about a year.But, not to put too fine a point on it, I'd like to add the timeframe is independent on usage.In otherwords, the batteries don't seem to 'keep' well.

I just purchased a 'new' battery from Amazon, and although it was unused (as advertised), it was manufactured over a year ago.Despite this, the battery worked perfectly for the first month, but eventually it began to lose ability to hold a charge.At the end of six weeks time it was performing as poorly as the original I replaced.

In a fit of mild disgust I tromped down to the T-Mobile store where I caved in and bought an overpriced (but 'fresh') battery.So far, the new one has behaved fine.My standby and talk times are back up to what they were when I purchased the phone.(Approx 2.5 days w/ light usage, and about 4 hours straight talk time.)

Honestly, I don't think there is anything wrong with the batteries, per se, but I think you will get a better bang for the buck if you manage to find a 'fresh' one.For me, the surest way to do that was to go to a T-Mo store where I could actually inspect the manufacturing date on the battery before I purchased it.

YMMV.
