Replacement battery for the XV6700?

i bought my xv6700 used. at 2 bars, it takes 15min for it to die while surfing the web.

at full charge, i could only surf for 45min.

since Verizon states the battery is good for 3-4hrs talk time, i assume the battery is bad.

so for a replacement battery, i was thinking the extended battery (and new backplate).

ebay sellers have both OEM or 3rd party batteries.
which to get?

I would go with OEM...Remember: You get what you pay for

I would go OEM, it is only a few $ more and should work better. Also, check the mAh rating, the OEM battery is rated for 1350mAh, dont go for anything less.

mine battery shelled out and only lasted about 20 minutes so i bought 2 OEM batteries from ebay and kept one in the phone and one in the dock and swapped them out whenever i needed a fresh battery.

anyways go OEM for best results
