I got the second battery for my Zaurus and it was one of the best investments I made. The Zaurus uses quite a bit of power, so it's great to have a spare on hand. I also got the battery charger, so when I'm done with one battery, I just pop it in the recharger and go on.

I'm always a little wary of rechargeable batteries, they are expensive and you never know how well they will hold up. I've not used these long enough to know for sure, but it seems that a full charge will get me through a day without any trouble.

Nonetheless, having a spare battery and the charger block, allows me to have a second, fully charged battery which may come in handy on longer trips away from a plug. The battery does seem to take and hold a charge well, though I've not put it to heavy use running power-intensive operations like MP3 play or a microdrive (though this is a temping possibility).

I ordered this as a replacement battery for my Sharp Zaurus SL-5500. It's an exact match and works well!

Nice to have spare. Fits the Bill...genuine Sharp.

What can I say? It's the same battery that comes with the Zaurus (I own the 5500). It has the same battery life, weight and everything else as the one you probably already own. It is very nice to have an extra battery on hand, as the Zaurus chews through these batteries like Homer chews through donuts.

But, as for a review of the battery itself, I'd have to give it a so-so review. The battery life of the Zaurus is quite brief. Though, it didn't weigh into my decision of buying a Zaurus, I do wish Sharp would release a higher capacity battery so that I could have more than 3-4 hours of continuous battery life for a single battery.

If you desperately need that back up battery now, then definitely buy this. You know what you're getting. But, I'd hold out for Sharp to possibly release a better battery; if you can.

Battery lasts as long as anticipated, and is good quality. Price was reasoanble at $14.95 w/ no shipping.

This is the battery to order for Sharp Zaurus replacement. It is an exact replacement. After bad experiences with after-market clones, this original model worked perfectly. (Great price, too!)

I think the battery is fine, but the Sharp Zaurus is power hungry. A spare battery may be a necessity if you plan to use your Zaurus all day, every day.

Fast Service, excellent quality. I would definately buy from them again. I am perfectly satisfied with the reliability and excellent service with this seller.

Cheers!

This product arrived faster than I expected and was a product of JAPAN unlike everything else(Made in China, 99% of product in the US).
