(More customer reviews)Original Palm battery on my Centro killed itself last week, which was about 14 months after buying the PDA. I let the battery drain right down to the red on the battery meter and after that the Palm wouldn't switch on, nor would it charge up. I think the little protection circuit that's built into the battery pack decided the battery was hosed and therefore refused to charge it.
I'll update my review when I've been using it for a few months, but initial impressions are good. It seems to hold a charge and last about as long between charges as the original battery did. I'm not expecting miracles, since this battery is only 15% higher rated capacity than the OEM one. I'm only on about the 2nd charge and the (meagre) instructions say that it will take 5-6 charges to reach full capacity, which is to be expected.
What I don't get is why this battery costs the same as an original Palm one. Should be substantially cheaper if they want to lure people away from the comfort zone of only buying OEM batteries. Knocking a star off for that. I bought this one and not the Palm original because I get Amazon Prime free 2 day shipping, whereas Palm want to charge shipping on top of the battery price. I needed the battery ASAP because I was PDA-less.
I was worried that this Seidio one from Amazon might be a fake, but there are no indications to that effect so far.
