I have the V551 and this battery fully charged, lasted aobut 8 hours. I go to work and don't even talk on the phone, I get off and it's down to 1 bar. If I talk anytime during the day it'll shut off before I get home. I wish I could get 3 days out of this battery!!! Oh and I had Amazon send me another thinking the first was a defect...NOPE! 2nd one was just as bad. Shell out the money and get a name brand battery...that's what I'll end up doing.

I was very unhappy with this battery in that it would only last for a few hours of use on the phone versus a couple of days for the Motorola battery. Recommend skipping this battery for another brand or an original equipment battery

This was a terrific bargain well under the usual prices of $40 to $80 that you usually see. The battery that comes with the V551 was a big disappointment because of it's relatively short life (probably related to Bluetooth and camera use). This larger battery is great improvement. It fits in the existing case with the existing back cover (some large capacity batteries require a different back) is easy to put in and has worked great!

After the original battery started losing some power, I ordered this generic battery hoping for an improvement since the original battery was a year and a half old. After the initial charge, to my horror, this new battery's life is about one third of the life of the original year and a half old battery. More specifically, after a full charge, this battery lasts about one hour of actual `on-line' use and about one day of `cell on' but no actual `on-line' use. I call this highway robbery. I wouldn't recommend this battery to my worst enemy. Buyer, be aware! I would give this battery a 0 star rating, but the lowest I can rate it is 1 star!

After a year, my V551 original battery decreased to the point where I needed a new one.
I've had this replacement for about 2 months and there are glaring problems with it:
1) While charging this replacement battery, the phone shuts off. I cannot charge and have the phone on at the same time. The original does not have this problem.
2) The battery life is 2-3 days with low use. This is far less than the orginal battery when it was new.

I've had a Motorola V551 for one year and the life of the original battery has decreased from 6 days to 3 days so I decided to get this battery as a replacement. One of the other reviews implied that the battery life of this battery is better than the original Motorola battery but it is not. This battery has a life of just three days which is not acceptable!

Works fine for what I need, which is a just-in-case battery. I didn't expect or need extra long life. I can use the phone while it's charging and it charges quickly. We use it in the i275 and i850 without problems.

For the price, this is a steal. My original Motorola battery started to give out only after 11 months. I had to charge it every day or the battery would die. I ordered this battery to replace the motorola battery and it is working well so far. The battery works as expected and I'm happy.

The battery is great. I didn't realize how much "juice" my old one had lost until I started using the new one.
