Help Flipout battery compatibility problem!

Hey everybody.

I'm new to android and motorola, and though I know a fair bit about computers, I know next to nothing about phones. So I thought somebody here might help me.

Basically, I've owned a motorola flipout for about a month and a half now (it's great, but a bit screwed up, but thats not what I'm talking about atm). Last night I ran home and it dropped out my pocket, the battery connecting thingymajigg died, I took it into a shop, and now I apparently need a new battery (the guy in the shop replaced it with another battery, but I didnt see the type, and it worked fine). Through several hours of searching, apparently there are two batterys of the type 'BT60' that I see on the front of my battery case.

The first one is this:

The second one is this:

... with the small Motorola M on the top right and more writing along with a CE and other funky stuff.

The second one is the one I originally got with my Motorola Flipout. Most sites I normally buy from (amazon.co.uk, basically) only stock the first; but the internet has conflicting ideas on which one is compatible with the Flipout. A few sites (Motorola Standard Battery BT60 for Flipside, Flipout - Android Batteries - Android Community Store) tell me that the second one is specifically built for the Flipout (one also said for the Flipside). The first one costs about
