X51V replacement battery

[shell]

I wanted a replacement battery so looked on eBay. Found a lot of different capacities but decided to keep to the original size to avoid fitting problems.

Found what appeared to be suitable from Hong Kong (Echobey was the supplier), 12 months warranty included. When I received the battery the locating lugs put the battery in upside down and the contacts at the wrong end of the battery. Trying to fit it in the other way the contacts still did not make contact. This battery was advertised as fitting X50 and X51V. After many emails I arranged to have the battery replaced but after sending it back I heard nothing more from the supplier. Luckily I had lodged a claim with Paypal and will now get a refund.
Beware of the batteries from Echobey Hong Kong, they don't fit X51V and the replacement service is non existant.

Sorry to hear about your experience. I do have several replacement batteries for both of my X51Vs. I chane them out each evening placing the drained battery in the charger/sync cradle. There are other internet sources for batteries that are great if you do a google search on 'X51V replacement battery' you should find them.

Whenever I'm looking for a commodity item (like batteries) I really try to buy from a U. S. - based vendor.

I concur. I bought my spare from them and had no problems. Less than $15 is hard to pass up.

Had the same issue with a Golf Club, was a knock-off from China. Seller was vapor-ware but lucky for PayPal they pulled the money from the sellers account and refunded it to me.
