This battery is not manufactured by LG and as such does not carry the company's logo. It carries no logo or manufacturer identification at all. Using it will void the LG warranty.

The battery projects from the back of the phone by about the thickness of a dime; unlike the original which is flush with the rest of the phone. It doesn't sit firmly onto the cell phone and wobbles quite a bit.

After three charge/discharge cycles a full charge will last about three days with very light use. The OEM battery gave me at least five days of use between charges.

My overall assessment is that its a cheap battery and you get what you pay for.

This battery will be good enough, but don't expect the life of the battery to be that of an o.e. battery. This is an aftermarket battery, and I have to charge this battery once every 2-3 days. However I don't use the internet on my phone so I can get away with an aftermarket battery. If you use your phone for more than just phone calls and text messaging, I would look into an o.e. battery.

The battery is not the same shape as the original battery and protrudes from the back of the phone causing the protective cover I had purchased for my daughter's phone to no longer fit. Also, the battery does not lock down well and wobbles a lot. The battery works but in the future I will just pay the extra for an OEM battery.

Producted arrived on time and was as ordered. No complaints, best buy for the money

Fast delivery. I paid a lot more for this product elsewhere. I'm very pleased!

It has been working pretty good. Lately, I've had to recharge it every other day, compared to nightly with the other battery my phone used.

I purchased two batteries. The first one I tried did not hold a charge. It was almost like it was already used an worn out. The second one I have not tried yet. My phone is still working on the old battery for now, so I know it is not the phone. I cannot recommend this battery.

My son wanted a new phone because his battery did not work. I went on Amazon typed in his battery info and found a battery for under $5 which got here in no time and I haven't heard "I want a new phone" since! Hench EASY AND CHEAP!

I purchased this battery as the original was failing. The size is a little larger in width than the original and so doesn't lay flat against the phone. The difference was pretty small, so it didn't bother me.

The new battery worked for about a week and had a long battery life. However, after that it would randomly turn my phone off. Once a week at first, then about every 20 minutes.

I only paid $5, including shipping, so I don't feel upset that it didn't work out. I also have a feeling a lot of the problem is my phone, which has been beat up and is old.

These batteries are cheap knockoffs that gave me quite a few problems. I had ordered three of these batteries: one lost its charge completly in about a month, the second one shuts off the phone every 15 minutes or so consistantly, and the third one shuts the phone off randomly. The main problems are that they don't hold much of a charge and they don't fit on the phone properly. The battery slides a little on the phone and will shut the phone off if contact is lost. The best working battey of the three consistently shuts the phone off when I text since there is a high risk of moving the battery while texting. This is obnoxious because I will get 95% done writing a message and boom, the phone shuts off and I have to turn it back on and retype the entire message. I've learned and bought an offical LG battery. You'll save more money in the end (and be less frustrated) if you shell out the extra $15 for the real deal. I cannot recommend these cheap batteries.
