Best place to order v265 battery?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.motorola,alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

I just got a Motorola v265 cellphone (Verizon) and am wondering where
the best place to get an additional battery is? Any recommendations?

Also, can this use the same car charger from my v60c? I notice it's the
same plug but just though I'd check. Thanks for any info.

I've bought several batteries from http://www.cellphoneshop.net/ with
good results.

The good: Cheap prices, even with shipping.

The bad: 5 days to receive the battery. But they are in Taiwan, so I
guess you just deal with it.

We have been using my wife's chargers from her v60 with her v265. No
problems. That was a small one of the reasons we went with that phone, and
we're glad we did. As I suspected, she never uses the camera, but it is a
better
phone (RF-wise) than my v60s.

That turns out not to be the case. Verizon has twice sent me V60 batteries
for my V265s; they do not fit. The V265 has a couple of raised ridges in
the contact area; the battery has corresponding grooves allowing it to slide
in. The V60 battery lacks those grooves and cannot be inserted. (And no,
I'm not willing to take a file or X-acto knife to a couple of brand-new
phones).
