Whenever a deal seems too good to be true it probably is, I should know that. This battery was represented as a new original equipment battery and would not last as long as the one I was replacing. I suspect it was used. I ended up getting a new phone. The battery was 2.75 and verizon wanted 40 that is what prompted me to try it so I am only out 2.75Again, if it seems too good to be true it probably is.
