The package took much longer to be delivered than it should have. Rather than shipping it to me fast using the $4.99 I paid for shipping, it was shipped first class for $0.69.

Also, the battery was not new, as advertised. The label is noticeably worn and scratched and then leads on the battery show more wear and tear than my current year and a half battery that I am replacing. The battery life is about 1/3rd of my current old battery which was already on its last leg.

I am a light-use cell phone user (maybe 1 call every 2 days). Purchased this Palm Centro battery in September '09 & by end of January '10 it was dead & no longer would retain a charge. It was supposed to be a new battery, but now I have my doubts. I don't recommend purchase from this source.

Price was the reason for buying from this vendor. However, 2 out of the 2, supposedly, NEW batteries were DEAD, would not charge. They did offer to exchange if I would ship back, but I decided to bite the bullet and buy a new battery from a vendor that I knew was not selling seconds or factory refurbished items, which I think was what I bought at this seller. I gave 1 STAR because they do ship in timely manner.

I thought this price was too good to be true. However, the battery arrived and it is as advertised.

Order this replacement battery for an ATT Plam Centro. Received battery in a timely manner and it fit phone perfectly.

Exactly the same as what comes with the phone so no worries about compatibility. Great if you are going away for a few days and don't want to take a charger.

Battery arrived in a timely manner in a shrink wrapped package and appeared new with no marks on the contacts. Package arrived in the time specified at checkout.
I only mention this because people said they received bad batteries. When I installed it into my Treo 800w the battery was completely dead and the phone did nothing when placed on the charger. The charging light didn't even lite up. After sitting charging for a few hours and still nothing I removed the battery and reinstalled it. Only then did the Treo boot up and go about its normal business. So in my case its the phone not liking completely flat batteries. I've been using the battery ever since with no problems. The charge lasts around two days. Considering the amount of texting and surfing I do on the phone, I feel the charge is as close to factory specs as I'm going to get.

the battery was a piece of junk.
It was used and does not hold a charge.
It is worse than the batter I had that is barely holding a charge
It is too much trouble to try to get a refund but that would be nice.

After charging it for about 20 hours, it is holding its charge well. (Shipping was slow like one or two of the other reviewers have said.0 I expect it to work fine and will report back if it doesn't.

The battery was finally received. It's a defective battery. However, it was purchased as a backup only. The customer service could have been much better. After receiving three batteries, I finally received the right battery for my phone.
