I am not sure about all carriers but, I have received 2 free OEM batteries from Sprint corporate store. All you have to do is ask for one and they will give it to you. They are aware that this phone is a power hog and are happy to compensate for it with this method. I would rather carry 2 replacement batteries, that can fit in my change pocket of my jeans and never even notice them, that I got for free.
