Probably both. I usually just plug the phone in, but I do have a docking station with a charging slot for a spare battery for those occasions when I need it. If the battery on order is indeed OEM, I expect no problems with it charging in the phone; if it's not, I expect to get my money back.

With confirmation that this IS an OEM battery I'll be in.

as soon as I get mine I will post results. I guess the two chargers that come with it are worth 25 bucks so I am not going to lose sleep over it.

I asked the seller about the battery mAh and his comment back was, "This is a listing error that we have become aware of and are working to correct. The mAh rating on the battery is in fact 1340mAh. Thank you for your comment."

Good Luck, I received My 2 Batteries and charger and while the batteries do work they will not show a battery level or charge on the phone, only with the included charger.

Please be specific, is this from THIS seller? If so then something is wrong, b/c the seller is obviously not selling the OEM battery for the Diamond/Pro.

good point, plus the the ebay auctions were for 3 different packages, but I don't recall them including 2 batteries and a charger.

The batteries I received look exactly like the real ones(same writing, part numbers) except both serial numbers are the same on both batteries. I don't think it is from the same vendor, but I would not buy batteries from ebay again. I purchased this kit based on positive responses from XDA Developers, but what I am thinking is that the US Touch Diamond and Touch Pro needs a specific chip(used to authenticate as OEM) in the battery pack to allow the unit to detect the battery level and to allow the phone to charge the battery.

Thats what I was thinking might be the case, China fakes everything now. I'm glad I didn't jump on this.

Sounds valid to me...Like i stated in a few post up my batteries want charge, i got my batteries from DealExtreme..I need to get a charger to charge the batteries now from China!
