I purchased 2 BR50 batteries for my wife and myself to replace the existing batteries in our Razr V3c phones from motorola. The batteries arrived with enough charge in them to operate but needed to be charged for normal use.We have been using these batteries now for a few weeks and have had no problem with them at all. They are a little stronger than the original batteries so we are pleased with the extra time. neither my wife or myself use the phone a great deal so it is usually in standby, but the charge will last several days for us. Delivery was very quick, like only a couple of days after the order.All in all we are very pleased with this item.
