oem battery for evo is this legit?

http://www.htcdepot.com/htc-standard-battery/8A37A6775.htm

does this look like a genuine battery?

thanks

The battery does, I don't know about the site though.

why not just spend $15 on an oem for the sprint hero. big deal if it's not red, it's the same exact battery and you can get 2 + a battery charger for the same price as the red one that you linked to.

be smart.

because I want the same exact battery that is in my evo.

the site is legit. it's the same company that sells the android central(precentral too) stuff

i dont like using them though because im on the west coast and their shipping takes a bit long to me.

you have a source to get 2 1500 evo batteries and a charger for $34.99? do link please

the TP2/Hero batteries go for about 15 bucks on ebay.

i dunno if there's any way to guarantee that they're completely new though. I've run into a lot of OEM out of box batteries that are just warranty pull out pieces. Tough to say if theyre fairly new or old.

that said, i ordered 2 of them.

I have no interest in a battery off ebay, thanks though. I'll just wait till sprint stores get them then I know they are legit. and use 25% off premiere discount. I only need one.

 

[frank828#AC]

it's really not a matter of being legit if you know what you're buying. ebay or not.

so by exact same you mean down to the color that no one will ever see except when the battery cover is removed.

wow.

Well, I could link but I feel like that would demean the use of the search button and prompt more people like you to just expect people to link rather than search for yourselves.

I have faith that you can find it all by yourself. Or, by all means, just waste your money on that battery. At least it will be pretty and red.

wow, you sure are a nice guy "smirk". nevermind. Its people like you that make me not want to post.

Can we keep this civil? Telling people to search is just as easy as not responding, don't bring hostility to a thread that doesn't really need one. Kthxbye

 

[Jeremy]

Guys, be civil towards one another please... The OP is looking for the stock EVO battery. End of story.

Thank you.

i was nice in my original post. i told you to get two black ones and a charger for the same price. I just saved you a lot of money, thats a pretty nice thing.

to reply to someone that just saved you about 60 bucks and say "i want one that's pretty and red, i don't care if the inside of the battery is identical" well, that's your prerogative but don't do that and expect someone to baby you and post links that you can find with a simple search. sincere apologizes if that's what you expected.

eBay is the way to go. Go with a legit seller and save a TON of money. Sprint stores are crazy over priced even with 25% off. Total waste of money IMO.

I really am not looking for the cheapest one, just an original oem battery. I'm sorry if this offends some but it is the case. Anyway, thanks all.

I got two TP2 batteries and a battery charger from ebay for less than $20. Sure, they are generic, but I've never had any trouble with generic batteries before.

I dont know about you but i'll take my chances with this oem for $6.97
