My OEM battery is doing that.. it's a little bloated and it left this sticky residue on the side of the battery with the sticker.. I dont know where it came from.. It's the battery that came with my device and I am the original owner of my 6700!

I do have a 3200mAH battery which I use on the weekends when I am not going to be infront of a PC all day.. I recently purchased the 1500mAH, just waiting for it to be delivered.. my stock battery doesnt last very long at all.. must charge it like 2-3 times a DAY! but I do get like 50-60 emails a day because I'm synced with an Exchange server..

you'll get significantly more life by using the phone fully charged with the external pack than by using it to recharge your batteries. This is because some of the energy from the external pack is wasted on the inefficiency of the recharging process. You'll also get much better performance out of alkaline batteries than NiCad's too - partly because NiCad's just don't pack near the amps, and partly because NiCads don't perform well under hi-drain conditions (which is why it's better to plug a NiCad pack in while you're fully charged than when your on empty).
