Epic batteries compatible?

[sara12rara]

I desperately need to buy a new battery, as my oem battery stopped working and my cheapo generic ones off Ebay only last about 3 hours. In my search to decide on the best battery I am seeing conflicting reports about the compatibility of the original Epic batteries with this phone.

Specifically, I am looking at the Anker brand batteries. For some reason the epic touch batteries have skyrocketed to $30+ each on ebay, whereas the original epic ones are still $11.99. Also, the epic batteries are available in a bundle purchase of 2 batteries plus a charge for $19.99, whereas the epic touch ones have not been offered in a bundle.

Does anyone have specific knowledge or first hand experience on the compatibility of batteries between the 2 devices?

I see OEM for $11.90 + FS on Amazon.

I use an Epic battery as a backup for my E4GT. The only difference is that it's 1500 mAh vs. 1800.
