Query: Its ok for short term use

I bought this product to replace my original battery for my LG VX8600. I would not recommend buying or using this replacement battery for longer than a 60 day period. Although this battery came newly wrapped, it quickly lost its ability to retain charge after 2 weeks of normal use. It barely holds out any better than my old battery (needs to be recharged roughly every 12 hours). I received an extra Verizon battery thru an exchange on Craigslist, and even though this battery is over 12 months old, it works much better like the original battery (I have used it for about 1 month now and I have had no problems). I would suggest getting this replacement battery only if you are looking for a temporary short term fix until you get a new or used Verizon battery.
