Accessories DealExtreme 1500mah battery

[gatorbri]

Anybody bought the 1500mah battery from DealExtreme that is $5.01 (DealExtreme: $5.01 3.7V 1500mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery for HTC Touch Pro 2)?

If so, is it as good as the OEM 1500? Is there any risk to a non-OEM battery? Is there any way it can damage my phone?

Thoughts on this deal...is it too good to be true?

hey for $5.00 why not, just remember you get what you pay for.

just FYI dealextreme.com places orders directly from supplier in China, so you will be waiting a long time for the battery to come in through shipment (usually 4-6 weeks--not sure if shipment is by air or by boat). Also takes a while because they have very strict customs for export/import.

I know this because I order a lot of flashlight modding type stuff from there and other random things that are very competitively priced... China can be great copycat's as long as the stuff is relatively simple to manufacture (i kno this as well because I work with China Manufacturer's all the time at my professional jerb).
