Does not work
(1 out of 5) by R. Siegel on Aug 9, 2008 (Boston MA)Bought this battery to replace original. Read the directions which said to charge for 4 hours. I have had it for 3 weeks, and it has yet to charge. It is worthless. I paid $30 for something that is of no use to me. Buy it from a store that accepts returns, otherwise you will be out of $30.

Battery was good. I think my S50 is dying.
(4 out of 5) by Kelly Stevens on Aug 1, 2008 (Seattle, WA USA)The battery came and was totally new. It charged up on my USB charger and I was able to see 100 percent battery so I could run again with my S50 like an IPOD.
The darn thing does not charge on my home docking station or my car docking station. It must be my S50. My S50 is due for an update and my laptop has a Microsoft blue screen of death when I plug it into my USB port. I mailed my S50 into be reprogrammed and hopefully in 2 days I will have 2 sets of good batteries.
Again. The battery appears to be good. They ship quickly on Amazon. Lately I just buy on Amazon and not Ebay.

Works, but slow to charge
(4 out of 5) by mgspeed on Sep 21, 2009 (Southeast PA)It took about four days of being plugged into the car dock and my executive system in the house before this battery finally charged, but it did eventually. It would probably be better to charge the battery first on the plug in charger.
I still give it four stars because I have to wonder whether the problem is with the battery or with the notoriously twitchy S50.
Edit: It's been several weeks now, and I've confirmed that the problem was not my original battery, but the S50 base(s). After finding that the new battery wasn't charging I used the wall charger and voila! I had a charged battery within an hour or so.
