More Go-Juice for the Moto

I love my Motorola Q. I bought it used off of eBay for a decent price and since I’ve had it I can’t believe I made it so long without a smartphone. I use it far more for Twitter, web surfing, and text messaging than I do for voice calls.

There is only one complaint I have. The battery just sucked. On average it only lasted between 8-12 hours maximum. That’s not very impressive. To be fair, the phone was used and I have no clue how old or used this battery was. But as I searched the internet, the lack of battery time is a common problem. 

Last week I ordered a new battery off of eBay. The original battery was 1100 mAh and I bought an extended battery that is 1650 mAh. The difference is amazing! Right now I haven’t charged my battery in 29 hours and the power meter shows just under half charged.

If you have a Motorola Q, get on eBay and buy one of these suckers. They sell them at Best Buy also, but they charge about $50 for the battery. I got this battery off eBay for about $24 shipped and it’s an Motorola OEM battery.
