Customer Reviews

USED FROM ACCESSORY ONE2
This is the actual battery from RIM Blackberry. This product works, but shows obvious signs of usage when purchased from Accessory One. It does not hold charges like a new battery, and thereby shows another sign of wear and tear.

Disapointing Results1
Bought two of these in March, one crapped out (zero output - shows shorted) in 2 weeks, the other did just today (3 months). Capacity was always poorer than the original battery and would require recharging to get through the day (original would run for 2 days under same conditions). I believe these are factory seconds discarded because they did not meet the OEM's test requirements. They sure are not true OEM batteries. They're junk!

Good for the Price5
Cost @ under $10 seems pretty reasonable, and expectations should factor into the cost paid. It did come with some scratches on it, and it does perform at a lower rate than my other new batters (bought new) but I'd say it is close maybe 85% of the capacity. I've had it for about 3 months and am very pleased for the price. Its a good backup, nothing wrong with not paying a bunch for it. I like to swap them out on my phone and use my blackberry battery charger so I don't have to worry about hooking the charger up to my phone.

In Review...
Cheap at the time I think it was 1/3 to 1/4 the price of new
about 85% capacity
Peace of mind of buying through Amazon
Ya its not as good as a brand new battery, but I didn't pay for a brand new one, great price good performance.
