I just went for two. They say OEM but are coming from Hong Kong so may be counterfeit. Oh well...you can't beat the price.

Beware. I purchased three different "Touch Pro" 1340mAH batteries from three different eBay sources, none work properly.

They were all labeled differently, two were labeled "HTC Innovation" just like the OE.

They all show 0% on the phone even when fully charged (with external charger). The phone's internal charger will not charge the battery.

YMMV

Yeah I don't trust those Batteries off of ebay. I would just wait and get them from a reputable source like Seidio. Yeah they may cost 4 times as much but will that ebay cover your device and battery if they both get damaged as a result of faulty equipment?

They probably work fine and won't fry your phone or anything but if they're lith-ion polymer make sure there's no bloating. I also would never let them fall below 20% and never keep them in a hot environment.
