1. This battery is excellent. It came partially charged and it charged very fast.

2. This is a 1035 mAh battery; the original is only 950 mAh. As such this one will last longer than the original. Also this battery very slightly bulges outward and it's actually a good thing because the camera will sit flat on it's back instead of wobbling because of the camera lens.

3. The price is unbeatable. The shipping is actually kind of bad because this item came in a slightly padded envelope and that's it, there's no way it cost them more than $1.50 to ship this with such crummy packaging.

4. Eforcity used DHL when they shipped my package. Thankfully I got it in only 3 days but it could have been here next-day. It went from a city 40 miles away to a city 60 miles away and then got handed off to the post office to come back to me!

DHL is absolutely stupid. This is a great item but if they ship DHL you may have to wait for it, it's always a gamble with DHL.

Works as advertised, and it was clearly built to take away the wobble from the original EnV camera bulge -- an awesome bonus.

This lithium battery for my LG Env/VX9900 is an excellent match for the orgiginal cell battery. Having bought two of these batteries, I now have spare batteries at a fraction of the cost and I won't soon be stuck with a dead phone. Excellent product, excellent price.

I *love* my LG phones. My LG ENV 9900 is a tank and a half. We used to open bottles together back in college. I remember when I got it that I would say "it isnt trying to be thin. This has a 5 day battery life and feels solid". But, as the 18 months went on, my phone gradually diminished into a 1-day battery life. I also found it randomly turned off in my pocket. For awhile I thought it may have been the battery simply dying quickly, but I realized that it would really crash about 1 in 5 times i sent a text message. And then sometimes when I was in the middle of a cell phone call. I took a chance, and got this new battery.
This breathed fresh life into my env! I now get 5 days battery life again, meaning I can go an entire week with light usage and only charge it on the weekends or once overnight when I remember to. It also *rarely* crashes now. ** By replacing my battery, I feel like I have a brand new phone. The seller was fast, the battery is awesome. It *is* silver, and my phone is orange, but I don't mind. Also this battery is a slightly bit larger than the stock battery, I believe. It is actually pretty awesome because as I look at my phone, I realize that the dimensions extend the battery physically in such a way that the back of the phone is flush with the camera, so there is no wobble when it sits screen-up. I think the oem battery, at least in my version, was flush to the base of the phone, not the camera lense, so there was wobble. Although I might be wrong.

Thats the end of my review. For a personal backstory, read on.
My wife's current alias 2 just started behaving the same way (crashing frequently when texting and when flipping the phone. It makes me wonder how many people throw out perfectly good phones just because they start crashing. I wonder how many of those phones could be fixed by replacing the battery? Her phone might actually be going bad, but many people that I've come across in forums report the same thing for the alias 2 (crashing frequently when flipping and texting) but I haven't found a verified claim of anyone trying a battery replacement (because the battery indicator is always full). With generic batteries being only $5 on the internet, the bet is worth it to me over buying a new phone and contract renewal (or pay up front for a $400 phone...).

My thought is that as the battery wears down, as batteries inevitably do by their very nature, there becomes a point where the battery just isn't performing top notch to what the specifications of the system require. Depending on the quality of the components and the tolerance of the operating system, including error detection and error correcting, eventually there will become a point in time where some electronic component can't respond or charge up quick enough because of a drooping voltage, and the operating system crashes. The phone rarely crashes when it is just sitting still in idle. Usually it crashes when trying to flip on the backlight of an LED, for example.
This is assuming, of course, that the regular components in the phone don't fail first. In my case, my electrical components are 3 years old but hanging in there, while my battery (which is, honestly, designed to fail before the phone is considered worthless anyways, or about 2 years with current cell phone provider plans) crapped out within specification. By replacing the battery, you're replacing a very serious bottleneck and restoring tight voltage responses to the electronics.

So, if you're with me so far... is it any coincidence that the iPhones have no ability to change batteries by the user? In my opinion, it is a bold move to force the consumer into a buy cycle on apple/at&t's terms (oh, a "battery replacement" costs a (hypothetical) $100? Well that brand new iphone 8 is only $150, I might as well upgrade! And its about time to renew my contract anyways...) Something to think about.

I assumed for the price that this would not be a quality product. It has performed as well as the original battery. Recommended, yes!

This battery was a spare for my son's phone. It fit the phone. It worked as expected and arrived promptly as expected.

This battery has worked great for my husbands 'OLD' phone. It's a little thicker than the old batter, but he doesn't mind. It lasts for at least 2 or 3 days with normal use without charging.

This replacement battery for my antique Env cellphone works great. Over a month since I installed it, and my phone can go for three days without a recharge. And that annoying habit of shutting down randomly during the day? Gone with the new battery. Highly recommended!

This bargain-priced battery is considerably better than the original. I am impressed by how long it holds a charge, and you can't go wrong for the price.

I bought this battery because the original battery that came with my enV wouldn't keep a charge anymore. This was rated a bit higher than the original so I bought one. It turns out the battery works great. My standby time is measured in days. I am very pleased with the battery and the company.
