Summary: call it a one year plus (maybe) battery
Review: I bought the LX700 phone in Feb 2000. I charge the battery about once a week, and about once a month I discharge it completely using a pair of 10 watt resistors, then recharge. Complete discharge is recommended in the instructions, and the deluxe charger does it automatically. But I just discharged it this week (Aug 2001)and it won't recharge. It is deader than hammer. So it lasted one year and 6 months, which means it probably went through around 80-100 charges. What may be a year and a half for me may be only a few months for you big-shots that talk all the time. It is also overpriced..., but all batteries are.

Summary: Ericsson 1200 mAH NiMH Extended Battery with Belt Clip
Review: I have had my Ericsson phone with this battery for over one year. I have never had any trouble with the battery (or the phone) in that time. The battery has never failed to charge and has charged in a very short period of time. I would highly recommend both the Ericsson battery and phone.

Summary: Problem With This One
Review: I purchased two of these in June '01, and BOTH were dead as a doornail by Sept '01. I use an Ericsson charger that doesn't allow overcharging and I conditioned the battery each month - which means that they were dead after the 3nd conditioning. Neither would charge back up after they had been discharged. In fairness to Ericsson, I have to say that their warranty service is SUPERLATIVE. They sent me upgrade replacement batteries, no shipping charges, within one week. Ericsson gets five stars but this particular battery gets one.

Summary: Just what I needed -
Review: I thought I finally found the perfect cell phone accessory - a battery with a belt clip; not one of those cheap after-market kits that are sold everywhere.My only dissapointment was in finding out that while the clip worked great, the battery wouldn't hold a charge. Let's see if the replacement works better. Stay tuned . . .
