BR50 - Motorola Razr V3 / V3c / V3i OEM Li-Ion Battery - New Black Battery Reviews

• Junk - not even worth $3

  
  By A2U9B37MIU16ZD on 2008-01-09
  As with others, received it in a timely fashion and it appeared to be new and matched what my original battery looked like. Doesn't hold a charge more than 5-6 hours even if I don't make a single call. Seller was quickly asking me for feedback and I gave positive feedback because it arrived quickly and worked at first... I think the only reason they have so many positive reviews is that they try to get the feedback quickly before people realize their product is junk. I think Amazon should boot this seller off the site.
  
  

• Original?

  
  By A24N6YF5SKEPMP on 2007-07-09
  I got 2 of these for my V3 from Amazon-Accessory One. They both worked poorly. Need to recharge daily with 15-20 minute talk time. With the original battery that came with my V3 the same usage lasted me 3-4 days per charge.
  
  

• Seems like a good battery

  
  By APLCMS8A6WBN9 on 2006-08-31
  A little more powerful than the original battery, but seems to work great with charger and phone.

  This battery was excellant. I bought a previous battery from amazon that was not the BR-50 but was suppose to be the right one for my RazrV3 phone. It would not take a charge and I waited too long to return it. So I threw in the trash where it belonged. If you want an excellent battery for a phone like mind be sure you get only the BR50 the black battery.
  
  

• I can't believe it's this cheap

  
  By A264QUB4HB6FQJ on 2007-01-03
  I remember the days when I paid $100 for a replacement cell phone battery. Now, finding a replacement battery from a reputable Internet supplier is a little dicey. This battery was less than $10 and it worked like new. I bought 2 and I'm glad to have the spares, which I carry in a bag and needed during the Great Seattle Power Failure of 2006.
  
  
• It's used.
  By A2SEWYIFI0W2G3 on 2008-02-09
  Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1IW6ALVU6OWIZ This review should give you a pretty good idea of whether you want to buy this battery.
  
  
• Excellent! Hardier than original battery
  By A8NTMSTQKA8JL on 2007-03-19
  What a deal - genuine OEM, fresher than store bought. Since the Razr devours batteries, you have to have one or two of these charged and ready to go.It was a great investment and has saved me much time!
  
  
• Supposed V3 battery?
  By A11BTCYMX4CR0T on 2008-01-28
  After speaking with the people at Motorola, they said it wasn't for my phone even though the description is for a V3c. The battery isn't even supposed to be sold in the United States! It is for a Motorola Chinese phone. I wasted my money buying this product only to have it shipped then shortly after thrown away. The people at Motorola do not recommend using this battery in your Razr!
  
  
• Manure
  By AVK9BSXJJ51I8 on 2006-11-14
  ordered 2 of these a couple of weeks ago, got them in decent time put them in phone and charged them, neither battery lasted more than 48hrs MAX with less than 10 mins talk time.
  Sent email to company they were nice and sent 2 more batteries plus a return envelope to send first two back with, put in the next ones, charged and same thing within 48hrs both batteries dead with virtually zero talk time on them.
  Sending all 4 back.
  
  Im guessing you basically get what you pay for.
  
  
• BR50
  By A2N6Z5PY4Y4QBI on 2007-04-17
  I purchased 2 BR50 batteries for my wife and myself to replace the existing batteries in our Razr V3c phones from motorola. The batteries arrived with enough charge in them to operate but needed to be charged for normal use.
  We have been using these batteries now for a few weeks and have had no problem with them at all. They are a little stronger than the original batteries so we are pleased with the extra time. neither my wife or myself use the phone a great deal so it is usually in standby, but the charge will last several days for us. Delivery was very quick, like only a couple of days after the order.
  All in all we are very pleased with this item.
  
  
• Price Too Good To Be True
  By AGK2200HUN9FD on 2007-05-28
  I bought these for a PEBL because -- despite the Motorola specs advertising over 400 minutes of talk time and over 280 hours of standby -- I was getting something like 150 minutes of talk and only one week of standby (160+) which later reduced to just 48 hours. I purchased a new, unlocked PEBL from an online retailer in December 2006 so I owned it for four months; I did not turn bluetooth on, either. I figured I needed new batteries so I bought these because the price was excellent.
  
  Well, you get what you pay for! The batteries look new and are labeled just like the one that came with my PEBL, but unfortunately the first battery I tried would not even charge; the second battery charged but depleted rapidly (my PEBL would show three bars but then turn itself off) after about 2 weeks of use. These batteries didn't work for me and neither did my PEBL, so I got rid of all.
  
  I do not trust Motorola's specs on battery life; except for the RAZR I have not owned a Moto phone that has delivered on its technical specs. And now I guess I can't trust batteries, either. Caveat emptor, I suppose. I don't believe I will be purchasing Motorola products or accessories again.
  
  
• BR50 Replaces the original battery
  By A15XRGRKDUB74C on 2008-02-17
  This BR50 battery replaces the original that came with my Razr V3 and it charges and as advertised.
  
  One bad thing about this battery is that it needs to be recharged when bluetooth is used on a frequent basis. Motorola should consider constructing longer lasting batteries or perhaps selling 2 batteries in a package rather than one (for emergencies or when a charger isn't available).
  
  Overall this battery is just fine.
  
  
• Buyer Beware
  By A366JFMVTOJVFZ on 2008-08-03
  One reviewer noted regarding the RAZR batteries from Accessory One and other sellers, that the battery he received had been manufactured a year before the purchase. This may explain the wide range of customer experience with regard to these batteries. Lithium ion batteries begin to lose their ability to hold a charge right after they are made, and many will lose functionality two years after manufacture. The battery may be "brand new" and in the original sealed packaging, but if it's been sitting on a shelf for a year or so, it will not perform like a freshly manufactured battery. Buyers should realize that at these low prices, they are taking a chance. They may luck out, and get a battery that works well at a bargain price, or they may wind up with one that has little or no ability to hold a charge. After reading the reviews here, I decided against buying one of these batteries. To me, it's worth it to spend more, and get a battery I know is fresh and will perform as promised. For more information on Lithium ion (and other batteries) I recommend you check out www.batteryuniversity.com .
  
  
• Great replacement
  By A2OUF3NCG3VUHW on 2007-01-15
  My battery was dieing after about 2 years of use and was flaky. I stopped in a couple retail stores cingular/alltel ect. to purchase another battery it was 60. I knew that was a joke and came on here and found the upgraded BR50 different batteries then when the razr first came out. It works well even though my original battery claimed 3.6V and this one is 3.7V it still works fine and my usage time is back to normal. Don't get a battery from your retail store it's a ripoff, get this one, this one is also a legitimate Motorola battery with hologram and everything.
  
  
• Perfect Replacement for my V3
  By A16YNNT757JVUE on 2007-02-15
  My Razr V3 after two years wouldn't hold a charge. Both Cingular & Verizon stores offered replacements batteries that cost almost as much as the phone did new. For under $10 bucks this replacement gave my phone a new lease on life. It is an exact replacement and not some knockoff. Great talk and standby time.
  
  
• Same as my original, 710mah, phone lasts like when it was new again!
  By A2YNZ7MLCD6D2Z on 2007-03-27
  This battery is the same as the original battery that came with my phone. Many of even the OEM batteries with the same part number are not 710mah, but something less. I tried an off brand that didn't list it's rating and it only lasted about half as long. With a little use this battery can last three days or more, where my old one was down to about half of one day with the same use.
  
  
• Just OK
  By AO6ZPO6ZUUK5M on 2007-08-01
  I ordered two because I knew they would be lackluster. And they are. But at least they are cheap. Why on earth is the most popular phone on earth equiped with thse lame batteries???
  
  
• I don't recommend it at all.
  By A30EGROXG0BM7U on 2007-09-26
  Bought 4 of these. None of them holds up the charge for 30min talk. I don't recommend it at all.
  
  
• Low Quality
  By A26E292U60EC5Q on 2007-05-30
  don't buy this one, pay more and get better quality from other reliable place. Eventhough it says original package, it hardly gets through the day.
  
  
• Decent
  By ARBPP8OC5OJ0X on 2007-08-21
  I'm not so sure this battery was brand new when I recieved mine. The first couple of days the battery was fine, then the life drained out of it after mere hours.. eh, what can you expect for only paying 3 bucks for... good for price..
  
  
• Buy with care!
  By A288ZDQXC5USNB on 2007-12-02
  Although this appears to be a genuine Motorola item, it works very poorly. Operating time is a fraction of my original battery. Charging time is also much less than the original, and the weight is a bit less. I suspect this is a counterfit.
  
  
  
• DO NOT BUY!
  By A3M970WK5EU42S on 2008-03-02
  The merchandise is shoddy. I ordered 2 batteries. When I got them, I fully charged both. Unfortunately they only last about 15 minutes, which is ridiculous. My expectation was no hours of talk time, but I thought they would at least function as a fully charged battery should.
  
  The company is shady. I formerly posted about the problem that I had with the battery, and then was contacted by eForcity asking to remove my negative feedback in return for replacement merchandise. I removed my feedback and they never sent the replacements. When I emailed them over a week later and attached the original email offering me the deal, and my reply when I accepted their offer, their response was "do you want to have a replacement on this item." I'm pretty sure that was the point of me emailing them inquiring about when I would get my new batteries.
  
  This company has poor business practices and sells merchandise that doesn't even live up to minimal expectations.

• BR50 - Motorola Razr V3 / V3c / V3i OEM Li-Ion Battery - New Black - Retail Packaged
  By A11V5GH0BOILZH on 2007-03-29
  The product that I bought does not work. I believe this product to be refurbised or a used product. I had to throw the product away. It was junk. I cannot believe I purchased this thing. I will never buy anything from this site again. It is had to phantom that this site would endorse this seller, to sell products like this. This purchase ruined my experiance. Like I said I would never buy anything from this site again.Motorola Razr V3 V3i V3c V3m Original OEM Lithium Ion Battery BR50 SNN5696B
  
  
• no battery
  By A2CJAT22LWSCBS on 2007-06-13
  great price, it never showed up, nobody knows were it went, the burden of proof was on me.
  
  
• Original Motorola battery,
  By A3803JY2RST2AJ on 2007-07-27
  Well my phone now provides me the talk time it used to provide when new. These things are original Motorola, so additional peace of mind, that these batteries wont explode or something.
  
  The original battery that came with the phone died in an year though.
  
  Bought two of these, just in case I suddenly run out of juice on one.
  
  
• Too good to be true
  By AGXC1HNQUA4NE on 2007-07-30
  After getting this battery, and installing it into my Razr, it isn't the same battery as the original. It causes the phone to display a "error" message stating: INVALID BATTERY".
  
  
• Title misleading
  By A1P1Y7GWOLBMWD on 2007-08-04
  This battery was not in "Original Motorola Retail Package" as stated. Simply it came in a little plastic covering, leading me to wonder how reliable the battery really is. We'll have to see, but i have my doubts.
  
  
• Inaccurate Listing
  By AYXZ6F0XBUQR3 on 2007-08-05
  I received the battery after a little over a week, and it did not come as described. The battery did not come in original retail package, but rather in a plain manila envelope without padding and had a battery sized plastic sleeve, but was not even inside the sleeve. The battery seems to be in good condition, (more than 10x the life of my previous battery which was on its last leg) and is worth the price. As I said, the package was not as described, but other than that, was a good buy.
  
  
• crapy battery
  By A2CX3APPHLBXHX on 2007-08-14
  I thought this was a good deal, as it seemed to be the same battery (identical part number) that came with my wife's RAZR, but it turned out a waste of money.
  
  First of all, the battery never got the phone to display the usual message 'battery charged' when it was done charging (did it actually charge even though the battery indicator was showing the battery icon a 'full'?).
  
  And then the battery didn't even last a day...
  
  I tried to charge the battery a few times, then decided to simply get a replacement phone, since my wife was entitled to a new phone on her wireless plan.
