e: zero facts, I am impressed....

ee: and there is simple explanation to the fact that cheap batteries dont last as long: cheap = saving from somewhere, probably with raw materials. worse materials=less mAh=shorter battery duration.
My primary source is 2 guys that repair cellphones. And the extra fake battery I bought for my N95 did this too. Anyways here's a review:

Can't fault eBlink for fast shipping, however item arrived without any additional packaging (shipped lose in envelope) which raised my suspicion. Turns out the battery shipped was NOT an original BL-5J battery as advertised, it was a clever fake, holding significantly less charge than the original battery (between half and 2/3) and also fails to report its discharge properly. It does not slowly discharge and then prompt low battery warning, rather it shows as 100% charge until suddenly the device powers off with little to no warning.

NOT HAPPY.

I have nothing against 3rd party batteries when they are sold as such, however I like to make an informed decision and in this case I would only have purchased an original battery.

For a third-party battery, given the above information PRIOR TO PURCHASE, and not passed off as an original, it might be acceptable.

Don't believe me if you don't want to. But the facts are there. And this has nothing to do with how much the battery lasts. I am very happy with that. The battery rarely dies on me, so I rarely use the fake one and keep it only as an extra. But the issue here is that the battery doesn't show the correct percentage. I told you why. Somehoe it is BS..

Buy a fake battery just for the kicks. I got mine for 6 euros. You will see what happens.
