1.0 out of 5 stars ITEM NOT AS DESCRIBED, September 6, 2009

I though that I was getting a deal on a new battery for my G1. I just wanted a little extra battery life for when I'm not able to charge my phone. When my package arrived in the mail I opened it to find a scratched up battery with the label coming off. This battery doesn't come in any OEM packaging that would make me believe that this was a brand new battery as described in the sellers description. Also, the part numbers do not match, I recently purchased my G1 (a few weeks ago) and the part number on my brand new battery from T-Mobile is not the same as the one that came from this seller. SO... BUYER BEWARE!!!

HTC Innovations G1 Google Battery Drea160

When a HTC G1 battery is reviewed all sellers seem to be listed together under one product link.
I bought from CCMACCESSORIES which has the ASIN:B0028MIQG8 (from my order detail). The reason I bought from this company was a guarantee (cost a couple dollars more than other sellers) I would get a factory OEM part. And that is what shipped; P/N 35H00106-02M

It took some time to match up price with "look-a-like" batteries. It was basically a shell game until the question, "Why is this seller a few dollars more than the others?". Short Hint: In replacement parts OEM does not have to mean the part shipped from the factory; it can be made by anyone and fulfill the same function. Now this is where the factory Part Number (P/N) is key - 3rd party has to use a different P/N.

There can be a lower quality battery (price lower too) that looks the same but is not the same. So, the premium price CCMACCESSORIES has is not that great but you get the real battery, not some unknown manufacturer. As with any battery things change and it is best to find a seller that is stating the part number.

This new battery on standby with all the unnecessary background tasks killed lasts 2 days. It took running a video stream (ustream app) 30 minutes to get a conditioning battery dead state. Number 2 of 3; after 3rd time the USB charger is ok to use. During the conditioning only use wall charger to charge 0 to full, phone off if possible.

Amazon needs to refine grouping all sellers into one review block under a similar description of product. It makes the good guys look bad when buying and it does not hurt the sellers of "look-a-like" at all. Plus it confused me and I wasted time weeding out suspects (they shipped factory and/or 3rd party made battery).

As advertised, an actual HTC battery. Seems to work great, and at a very good price. You'll really need this extra battery with a G1 phone, for sure.
