Moto BP6X Battery For Motorola Droid A855 CLIQ MB200 - eBay (item 250661446576 end time Aug-04-10 07:33:54 PDT)

I bought one. If its crap I'll let you guys know but for $3.25 it's not much of a gamble.

i just ordered one myself.. wth for 3.25 why not.
 
I bought 2 of the batteries as well as the Universal Motorola B-series battery charger - the batteries that I bought definitely last longer than the original I had, but both batteries showed signs of wear on them (the paper cover near the removal lip on the battery on both had been compressed and disfigured, whereas on my original battery it is perfect - and my original battery has seen more than its fair share of battery pulls as a result of OC testing after I rooted).

I thought about registering a complaint b/c the batteries were obviously not new, but in the end I decided that having 2 batteries with good charging capabilities and a third for just in case emergencies for the price that I got them at leaves me really no room to bitch about it.
 
so far, the battery life of these seems the same or slightly worse. Not impressed, but they were cheap, and its nice to have extra batteries
 
I bought a couple of these (and the Moto universal USB charger) a month or so ago, and they seem to be as advertised, and in practice, hold a charge as well as a new battery should. I have the new batteries intermixed with the one that came with my phone and can't tell them apart in any way, unless I look for a little "sharpie" mark I made when they arrived. The seller shipped fast (from Brooklyn).

New OEM Original Motorola BP6X Battery CLIQ DROID A855 - eBay (item 120603836452 end time Sep-01-10 15:11:23 PDT)
 
Just popped in one of these batteries I ordered three months ago, and it started out at 100%... can't wait to see the lifespan of it. My original battery had already dropped to about 2/3rds of a day...
 
my old battery would only last me about 12-14 hours with regular usage. i bought one from amazon.com and it lasts me 24 hours no problem. i would have to charge my old battery at least once during the day to get it through the day.
 
Hey, will this battery work on the new Droid Pro? It also comes with battery BP6X? I'd like to know so I can try these out before I purchase the larger battery from Verizon cuz its like $50!!!!
