A direct replacement battery that has been problem free.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Motorola OEM BR50 BATTERY FOR RAZR V3 V3c V3m V3e V3i V3t RAZOR PERB U6 (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I purchased this Li-Ion battery as a direct replacement for my original Motorola cell phone battery, and I have not been disappointed. Physically it appears to be an exact match. It fit the cell phone's battery compartment exactly, it charged using the original charger, and it holds its charge. I've had no problems with this replacement, and have left it in the phone since purchase. In summary, I have been pleased with both its performance and price.

Check the Battery Date and Cell Origin!,

This review is from: Motorola OEM BR50 BATTERY FOR RAZR V3 V3c V3m V3e V3i V3t RAZOR PERB U6 (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I bought three of these from two different vendors (BargainCell and The OEM Shop) for my RAZR V3.
The first (from The OEM Shop) arrived quickly and had a manufacture date of March 2, 2008. The cells were made in Japan and assembled in China. This battery has been perfect, allowing call times of several hours and a standby time of nearly a week. The second (from BargainCell) arrived and was the wrong battery, too long to fit my RAZR V3. I used Amazon's contact form and BargainCell responded quickly. They sent me a replacement battery and a shipping label to return the wrong one. Good customer service. The replacement battery from BargainCell was dated March 8, 2007 (a year OLDER than the OEM Shop battery). The cells were made in China and assembled there. This battery has been a disappointment, with call times of less than one hour and standby times of less than three days. The third battery (ordered from The OEM Shop when the incorrect Battery came from BargainCell) and was dated May 20, 2007. The cells were also made and assembled in China. This battery has had similarly disappointing performance to the one from BargainCell. Like other reviewers, I've come to the conclusion that the age of the battery has a major impact on the performance of the battery. Also, I am suspicious of cells made in China, versus Japan. My experience with rechargeable lithium camera batteries also suggests that Japanese cells are superior to Chinese ones. One last note: Two of the cells had marks on the locking notch at the top of the battery (where a tab holds the battery in the phone), suggesting that the cells had been removed from a phone. One of the three batteries had sticky glue on it, too. I wonder if these batteries were pulled from used phones. That would explain the cheap price. Overall, I'd say buying these low-priced batteries is a crap shoot. You might get a good one, but odds are more likely that you'll get an older battery with a limited lifespan.

Great replacement battery for original V3 and V3i iTunes!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have one of the first V3 cellphones ever offered by Cingular. The original battery had almost totally died two years back, but there was nothing what so ever wrong with the phone itself.
When I decided to hold off for lower cellphone prices, when my AT&T Tilt began acting up, I decided to just put my 2005 V3 back in service - and bought this battery through Amazon from "The OEM Shop" to power it. The battery has 70 millamperes more power than the original, and after about two recharges I had no trouble noticing the old V3 had better standby and talk times than the original battery ever offered while in use around my home. After about two weeks, prices dropped and I bought a new Tundra for the 3G capabilities alone - until the 2010 cellphones start appearing (I use AT&T Navigator - a 3G service). I also keep a family member supplied with a more recent V3 phone - a V3i iTunes phone I gave them several years back. That phone was still working well with its original BR50 battery supplying good standby times. But since I no longer needed my V3, I swapped this new battery into their phone. Within a few days they commented the phone was now staying charged much longer, whether in standby, or calls and browser use - even longer than it had originally with the factory supplied BR50 battery. Rest assured, this new SNN5794 battery was sealed and factory fresh as received. Its designation is BR56, and it is a Motorola battery and not some cheap knockoff with poor performance. The old V3? Well, it's sitting idle once more until needed again. I never buy the monthly insurance, and won't so long as I always have a good cellphone I can fall back on. If needed, I'll buy another of these batteries. They want $40 for the less powerful ones locally. There's no doubt where I'll buy again. The purchase experience with this product has been excellent, and proves it pays to shop wisely. ***NOTE*** While more powerful than many others, this battery doesn't require replacement of the OEM battery door. (my OEM V3 battery was 710 millamperes and the OEM BR50 in the V3i was 760 millamperes)
