Blackberry Storm Battery - battery, cell phone battery
i recieved the product in a timely manner. although when i put the battery in my phone it would not accept a charge. After trying to charge the battery for two days with no luck i gave up. ive tried to contact the company and have got no response back. I would advise any one not to buy lthis battery. BlackBerry DX-1 Original Li-Ion Battery for BlackBerry Curve 8900, Tour 9630, Storm 9500 9530 and Storm2 9550
There's a reason why these OEM batteries are so cheap, it's because they've all come from phones that have had some kind of moisture damage and the RED line indicator on the side of the battery is activated. My original OEM battery out of the box is all white, indicating no moisture exposure. Am yet to see how this affects battery life.
1) Looks fake
1a) Came in a heat sealed plastic baggie
2) Battery Sticker is nothing like the original battery sticker
2a) You can see glue around the edges of the sticker that makes it look like it's not a self adhesive sticker
2b) It was already peeling off
3) 1/2 the charge lost within 4 hours
3a) Wifi was not on, Bluetooth was on but no usage via Bluetooth
3b) with no activity except a 3 minute call and 1 try at a QR code scan
Conclusion: I feel it's a counterfeit battery. No wonder some batteries overseas come with a Holographic Sticker.
Disclaimer: This review is solely based on my personal experience with the so called DX-1 Original Li-Ion for BB Curve 8900 etc. that I bought from the seller Buying It on Amazon.com
I bought one of these very low priced batteries becauses my year-old battery was not holding a charge for a full day. The battery arrived in a plastic bag, with no way to verify that it was new. I have used it for a couple of days, and it discharges even faster than my original battery.
I was looking forward to receiving those batteries since the original one in my BB wouldn't last a full day.
I finally received them but my BB Storm 9530 constantly reboots when I put when of those batteries in.
I don't know if there's a compatibility issue or if I got faulty ones but I wouldn't recommand those to anyone...
Item did not arrive after being ordered but contacted seller and got it a few days later. Works as good as the batter that came with the phone and only cost a few dollars (opposed to the $50+ the Verizon store had them priced at)
Update after 6 months of use - battery does not hold a charge well any longer. Still rather pay a couple of dollars every 6 months than $50 for a better battery. - Blackberry - Cell Phone Battery - Battery - Blackberry Accessories'
