Thanks for pointing this out, but if you would have taken the time to actually read the post, I was concerned about the standard battery. Gideon was talking about the extended battery with the additional door. I even made claim in my post about reading his post. Might want to actually pay attention before you try to "dog" someone. My question was a legitimate one that was not covered by gideon. For all I know, the standard batteries may have been slightly thicker on the D2 and my door would not have fit then. Please show some consideration next time.
OK, let's apply a bit of logic to the question.
The
extended battery for the D2 fits the DROID. We know that it fits the D2 b/c it is made for the D2.
Therefore, the
original battery for the D2 has to fit as well.
make sense?
Just a word of caution, some of these BP6Xs on Amazon might be old stock. I ordered one a while back which actually had a manufacture date that was older than the one in my release day D1.
I found that it held a charge worse than the original that it was supposed to replace
I did the same - I got one that was 1 day older and one that was 3 months newer, and I got the P323 charger as well.
With 3 batteries, I found my original battery was the worst in holding a charge - the other 2 have held up well so far on a rooted, massively OC'd DROID with 170+ user apps installed. I agree, it is hit and miss, but for ~$4 - $6 / battery, you can buy a whole batch of them for the price of that one extended battery. Plus, no new cover required, no finding a new compatible case, no forcing it into the MM dock....
Even with a crappy charge on one of 3 batteries, in
total I have way more battery power than having that one battery alone. Even if it lasts only 50% of my original battery, that's 50% more I had than before I purchased the spare, right? So if you get 2 spares, (3 total) even if both are 50% of your original you now have 100% extra capacity (i.e. you've doubled your usage time) until time to charge.
Using the P323 they charge relatively quickly, so in essence you could have 3 fully charged batteries when you walk out the door every morning - at twice the usage time you previously had.
So, for the price, it's still a win situation. A bit of roulette, if you will, but worth the effort at any rate.
