Which company makes the longest lasting (hours wise) battery at the most affordable price. Thanks!

Some aftermarket batteries are inferior to the Dell brand batteries. Not all, but you are safer going with OEM batteries whether standard or extended. Best prices are on ebay.

I agree with Mahstah, OEM are safer in terms of use and life.

However Mugen batteries and lion batteries are equally as good and have just as good a life span.. Lionbatteries tend to have a little more power (useable time) for their size. try www.lionbattery.com

Well I bought my PDA from ebay and turns out its battery is about gone. I dont wanna spend over $25/w shipping on a new battery. This replacement will be my primary. Hows this look... http://cgi.ebay.com/2000mAh-BATTERY-...QQcmdZViewItem

The battery is an extended battery, so it will make your PDA a little bulkier as it is 2 times the thickness.

The manufacturer is not a well known one and at the price, well it will work, but if it holds charge for 6 months, 12 or 24, who knows..

Still at this price, you can affort to change every so often

Do all extended batteries will work with the docking station? I noticed that the docking station has some space behind the x3i to accomodate for larger batteries, but it does not look like too much. I need to buy an extended battery but I need it to fit the docking station. Please help! thanks!!!
