I'm just glad my calls go through. This is why they include a new battery door cover. This battery works geat, it's actually 1480 mAh and the shipping was faster than I expected.The battery is thicker that the old one, probably about double the thickness. I don't really notice it in my pocket or using it, but for some this may be an issue. I bought this one to replace the standard Lithium-Ion one that came with my V3m. After 2 years, it would only hold a charge for about a day. Thus, it bulges out on the back side of the phone and is slightly heavier.
I qualify for a free phone now & am going to take advantage. I don't talk too much & would say I do only some texting. One slightly extended(800mAh) one & this extended(1400mAh) one. It might make it thru two days if I don't use the phone one of the days & nobody calls. The screen is often going all white on me now too, that may or may not be related to the battery. Both Razrs I've owned did that at some point after the higher capacity aftermarket battery was installed. I've had it for a week now. If I charge every night I make it thru a whole day just fine.
Battery goes from low(one bar on battery meter) to dead quickly & suddenly. I'd advise anyone having problems to just replace the Razr before spending money on it. I've bought two aftermarket Razr batteries so far. Charger gets pretty warm now while charging. Actually I never see one bar anymore.
Came complete with back as advertised. Easy to install. Worked very well. Phone now lasts 3 days with use rather than 1.
It eventually started to retain more charge over time, but the battery life is still below average compared to other phones I've owned. I eventually just decided to scrap my RAZR and go with something else, which was a better move for me. The first few times I used my phone after charging this battery, I was extremely disappointed--it barely lasted a day. If your battery life is complete crap, and you're looking to improve it, this will probably help a little.
Since the battery is thicker it requires replacement of the phone's standard battery cover which also, of course, makes the phone slightly thicker. The battery I received was labeled as 1400mAh and, like previous ones that I've used (they last about a year before losing capacity), at least doubles my talk and standby time. For me the small additional thickness is a small price to pay for much longer battery life.
