I've bought cell phone batteries from eBay, and they worked fine.

Have you tried draining and fully recharging the battery?

Yes, and when the recharge held for only a number of days
after that, despite very limited use, I decided battery must be
getting old. It still has a good deal of life left, I'm just asking
now so that I can make an educated purchase when the time comes.

Thanks, DGI

I've had good luck buying from cellularaccessory.com. No genuine Sanyo
battery, but they have a low price on an aftermarket battery. 1400mah,
Cinco de Mayo Sale Price: $17.95

Are the 4920 batteries that you link to the standard size ones, that
are the same size as those that come with the phone ? Or are they the
oversize ones that change the dimensions and shape of the phone ?
