I purchased this battery from AccessoryOne, when charged-it appears to have held the charge, but in a matter of an hour-the phone would show only 1 bar left or shut off on me. I tried discharging the battery completely then charging it full several times, but I kept getting the same results. I also cleaned the contacts with a pencil erase and then with contact cleaner-with no improvement. I purchased another LG OEM battery from the Verizon store in town (which actually is 1100mAh not 1000mAh as AccessoryOne sells) and it worked perfectly-so I have to draw a conclussion that AccessoryOne sold me a bad battery-also the battery has a mfg. date of 2006, so it's been sitting around for over a year in the package before I purchased it or they were defective batteries. i'd be cautious about buying another battery from AccessoryOne-especially if the battery price is too low to believe (under $10.00)
