do you use third party (non-OEM) battery on your device
I use it sometimes, but I don't use it on my phone
generally I found the third-party batteries quality is pretty unpredictable

I always have and always will continue to use only OEM batteries, those other ones are scary.

Motorola sells a battery for the C261 for $39.99; TracFone sells a brand new C261 phone for the same price.

I never have, and really don't think I'd want to. Maybe on the cheaper phones, but I wouldn't risk ruining my phones trying to save a few bucks on a battery.

I only use OEM batteries. When I unpack a new phone, I insert the battery and charge it with the phone off, until it's fully charged. I think that's the key to success. Then I just use the phone and don't worry about it. I've always enjoyed great life from OEM batteries.

Cheers

I use the battery that came with my phone that's all and just charge it when it needs it or bring my energizer cell phone battery charger with me and just plug it in.
