1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Fit, January 14, 2010

It's not that hard to unscrew the Sansa's case and put the battery in, unlike when you try to replace an iPod's or other Mp3 Player's.

However, it would be useful if the battery worked. I purchased it because I was desperate to get more than a couple hours of battery life, as my original battery has become wore out and doesn't hold a charge well. Despite it having no reviews, and against my better judgment I bought it rather than hope and wait that an official Sansa battery would be available, because all of the retailers for it were out of stock.

So, anyway, the real battery has two little plastic prong-like bits at the bottom that help it lock into place firmly, so that it makes connection with the top - however, this knock off's prongs are far too short to actually work, so the battery doesn't fit and just pops out.

If you're looking into possibly buying it, I'd recommend either searching more on Amazon for a legit official Sansa battery, or buying it some somewhere IRL or on eBay. It's not fun to waste money on a useless piece of junk, after all!

The battery itself was fine and I couldn't be happier with the price. However, it was slightly loose in my MP3 and would lose connection when I exercised and the player would stop. The fix consisted of putting pieces of electrical tape on the front, back and lower edge to give it a tighter fit. Now I'm happy.

As our family has more than one sansa player with aging batteries, I purchased 3 of these. They all turned out to be junk.

There are 2 basic problems with these batteries.

1) They do not fit properly in the Sansa e200 units because they are a bit short and keep loosing contact. This can be remedied by adding a couple of layers of duct tape to the bottom edge to shim it so it will fit tightly.

But there is a worse problem...

2) These batteries have less capacity than the 3-4 year old ones I removed from my players! One of these batteries is so bad that immediately after charging I can actually watch the battery indicator drop 81%, 80%, 79%, right before my eyes!

Save your money, don't buy these scam batteries.
