Very decent TP2 battery for $5.48

I got this battery from ibestone on Ebay (Hong Kong). A blog posted on here that tested several batts on ebay listed this one as a FAKE, but also gave it the best amps-per-dollar score. I actually get way better life with this than with my 9 month old OEM. Great deal.

I ordered 2 of those also a couple of days ago. ^ They appear to get the job done

The 2 batteries I ordered at the same time were these:

Wish this thread would have been started before I ordered mine. Paid twice as much

I bought 2 batteries and a battery charger from eBay when I received my TP2 that replaced my TP but I have not had the need to use them. The battery life on the TP2 is so much better than my old TP. The batteries and the charger are just sitting in a drawer.

Send them my way as my Touch Pro 2 battery life isn't all that great. Not as bad as my TP1, but I still can't get through one day on a single charge.

The battery life on my TP2 right now is amazing, but my last refurb replacement had problems. Even after hard resets it would lose 10% batt per hour. My new replacement stays full all day, even with heavy use/slacker radio and a fake battery from Hong Kong.

I purchased one of these about two months ago and its been working Great! At the time it cost $10 so prices have dropped significantly. Definitely notice the extra battery life on a daily basis!

Thanks OP.. In 4 one!

My year old OEM battery isn't as good as it used to be. And I've heard the EVO has the same battery as well, so I could use a backup battery for that and when I sell my Tp2, I will give them the OEM battery. For 5$, it's worth a shot.

Why is it called fake? Is it not intended for TP2 actually? Do u know the shipping cost? TIA
