Spare Battery Question
- Has anybody purchased a cheap spare battery from eBay? I rarely run out of battery throughout the day but I do sometimes run out. I've been looking at a combo deal on eBay which was like $20 for a spare battery, car charger, and wall charger. If I had the money, I'd just buy OEM from CB store but I don't want to spend $100 buying those things.
I'll be doing some traveling when I have some family member visit end of the month and I'll most likely be using the GPS and/or Google Maps quite often and I don't want to run out of power.
Can somebody post links to cheap batteries if you bought them and let me know how they turned out.
Thanks!05-18-09 04:16 PMLike 0 -
- I bought an oem from Amazon 9sold through AccessoryOne ) for my bold. $32 including shipping.
The non oem stuff will probably blow up your phone.
Let me edit that - I would buy a non-oem from a trusted manufacturer or seller.Last edited by centerfield; 05-18-09 at 05:07 PM.

The batteries work great, last longer than the OEM and the wall charger works well too. Also, i believe the OEM batteries are made in China just like the ones I got. Almost every part in your phone comes from there anyways. When you buy OEM from RIM you are just paying for the label. For the guy that wrote non OEM is gonna blow up your phone... Aftermarket products are usually built to a higher standard than so called OEM. Just my 2centsLast edited by camoko; 05-18-09 at 06:45 PM.

- The sellers name is "oemgadget"....below is a link to his store... for some stupid reason I am not allowed to post regular links. The batteries I have work great and it so nice to always have an extra one on hand and to be able to charge one also while using your phone. Not sure what the difference is between the two in the link, I bought the more expensive one @ $20.45.
