So where's a good place for rechargeable batteries? My cell phone only holds a charge for 5-10 min of use but other than that there's nothing wrong with the phone. I'd rather get a new battery than replace the phone. Just wanted to get some input on places to buy from.

Thanks in advance again.

i'd say either the cell phone manufacturer or the store where you got t. cell phone batteries aren't usually interchangeable. they are usually specific to the model of phone.

What's the battery serial number? If you search for that, you can probably find an off-brand replacement for cheaper. Try eBay too.

/\ This. When my parent's Motorola w385 cellphones started not holding a charge, we just went on eBay and found them OEM replacements for half of what they were at the Verizon store. You may also be able to find extended batteries for longer battery life - make sure you get the case backs that go with them though.

I got a 2 pack new oem for $7 off Ebay. I was just curious if there was another online source anyone used since a lot of things use batteries.

I've actually had good luck with aftermarket batteries on Amazon. My latest was for my digital camera, just under 1/4 the price of the Panasonic brand and works just as well.
