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.

A definite must for all g1 owners. If for travel or just everyday use. The G1 battery dies quick, so it's perfect to have one on hand.

Battery worked just fine. Although the order was for a NEW battery, and I received an used battery. I contacted the supplier, and they shipped out a NEW battery to replace the old one that had been shipped to me. The NEW battery still looked as though it had been used from the condition of the contacts. It could have been from a battery tester.

I was disappointed with the battery, it was obvious the battery was USED! I didn't believe other people's reviews until I received my battery in the mail. Why was the battery posted NEW when it was far from being new? That's false advertising!!! The battery life is not all that great. Still need to charge it quite often. Very upsetting, I would NEVER buy from seller again!!!

I priced this battery at a T-Mobile store and it was retail for $49.95...I shopped around and found it here and the price was more affordable. And, it continues to work fine. Thanks.

My G1 had started to suffer from terrible battery performance. I wasn't even getting half a day with average use and it was taking around 8 or 9 hours to get a full charge, which wasn't right. I noticed that my batter was bulging and not flat, so when I would lay it on a flat surface, it would rock a little bit. So I decided to get a new battery and found this one at a decent price.

I gotta say, it works great. Battery life is back to what it was when my phone was new. I can get two days out of it with light use...and about a day and a half with normal use and about a full day with heavy use. And when I charge it, it charges MUCH quicker than before.

Good enough for me. You have to get at least a full day out of your battery with heavy use for a phone to be functional. Charging it overnight isn't a big deal and I'm good to go for the entire next day without worrying about draining my battery to zero.

I recommend this battery for all G1 users experiencing degraded battery performance.

This is not an actual HTC product. I compared it to the HTC battery that came with my phone and you can clearly see that it's a knock off. However, the battery works very well and I have not had any problems with it. Infact my son uses his phone all day long playing online games. I tend not to read the entire descriptions of what I am buying so if you are like me and you are looking for a genuine HTC product this is not for you. But if you are looking for a good battery that replaces an HTC battery then I would recommend this product.

This is the product I bought: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028MIQG8/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title

It was in excellent if not new condition but it doesnt seem to be doing much better than the old one.
