Sorry to disagree with you schettj -
Virtually all the batteries on ebay with a buy-it-now price under $10 (even those claiming to be OEM) are generic, all-plastic batteries with a landscape-orientated label that says something like "For AU-6700...Li-ion Battery...3.7V". There is no mAh rating shown, but based on my experience with the one I bought they are under 1000 mAh (compared to 1350 OEM). You can also find real OEM batteries under $10, but they are generally not new.
I've had good success with "OEM," UTStarcom batteries I bought on ebay in the $13-$16 range. They at least have a steel casing and are properly labeled, though I suspected on a close examination that they might be high-quality counterfeits (both the label and the casing details are slightly different and cheaper). Ebay Vendor "Network482" is selling something similar now for $6.95 - this might be a good one, but I still doubt that it's a genuine UTStarcom battery.
Bottom line, $10 each for two new genuine OEM batteries from Verizonguy is a good deal, provided he's not charging 11.95/ea for shipping.
