Oops. Be careful ordering this because it's thicker so it takes an extension door to fit my LG phone. I'm returning it for a standard battery from the company since I don't want a heavier, thicker phone and also have to buy an extension door for the phone.

Received my new battery promptly and was very pleased to find that it is a brand-new, genuine, LG Brand Battery -- with 1700 mAh capacity.
Many other "extended" batteries that were available from other vendors were after-market brands with only 1400 mAh capacity.
This genuine LG 1700 mAh battery is thicker than the original, and requires a replacement door -- which I also purchased at a ridiculouly-low price from Amazon.com --- The LG VX8100 phone is slightly thicker and slightly heavier with the more powerful and longer-lasting battery in place, but it's WELL worth the slight increase in heft to gain the GREATLY-INCREASED talk and standby times.
PERFECT for your VX3200, VX3300, VX4500, VX4700, VX6100, and VX8100 LG Phones. Don't leave home without it !!
UPDATE -- September,'09: After a full year of use, the extended-life battery has performed perfectly -- and the charge seems to last FOREVER !!!
Peace.

Talk time is like tripled, and standby time is not measured in days. Pricey, I think I can get a better deal with like a generica branded extended battery for over half off. But when it comes to batteries I guess if you want OEM you will have to pay more for it. No complaints

I bought this to replace a dying battery for an LG VX8100, which was getting about one hour of talk time at the most.

This product works much better than I'd expected. During my first trial with it, the battery lasted for about 4 days, with six to seven hours of talk time.

Of course, the phone is heavier with this battery, probably about 25% more than with the standard battery. The weight difference isn't that noticeable, and if it were, you'd probably be better off with a lighter phone such as a RAZR.

This is a great product, it has trippled my talk time and only needs to be charged about once a week. I would reccomend it to anyone who still has the vx 3200 phone.

I bought this battery for my boss' LG VX4500. No where in the description does it state that you MUST buy the extended battery door to go along with it. Although that probably isn't the seller's responsiblity to state, it's good to know.

These batteries are great, but have to be replaced every year, as they tend to stop taking a full charge after that point if you leave your phone on 24/7/365. My girlfriend is great at forgetting to charge her phone for several days in a row, so the extended life battery is perfect for her, and of course the low price is worth it. Be careful not to buy unbranded batteries online - my experience is that "OEM" (original manufacturer) cell phone batteries are usually not OEM at all. With false claims, those Chinese knockoffs fail quickly. The best batteries are the branded ones from Korea or Japan.

This does not fit into the VX3300 as advertised here. So you end up paying shipping charges both ways by this misleading claim.

I would like to know if this battery was made in Japan, because the Korean version DOES NOT hold a charge.

The battery fits but the battery is 1/8" thicker than the standard size battery. I needed the bigger capacity cover for my cell phone (VX3200).

I decided against the extra thickness and exchanged them (I'd bought 2) for the standard sized batteries. I spent five minutes trying figuring out why they wouldn't fit before I realized the label was on backward.
