My LifeDrive has been in reliable, daily service for 4 years so I knew the battery's days were numbered I'd already seen less capacity between charges. When the device suddenly quit on a recent trip I was afraid it might be something more serious since it wouldn't reset even after days on the charger. Glad to find this replacement battery since Palm tries _very_ hard to make you believe it's not possible.

It -doestake a "special" tool (T-5 Torx not that special) to open the LifeDrive but it's INCLUDED with the battery!

They didn't come with instructions but I found the process documented and a nice instructional video after a 10-second Google search ("replace LifeDrive battery").

I had the replacement battery installed and my LifeDrive back on the air in 10 minutes. As a nice plus, it has improved capacity (mAh rating) over the original.

From dead to better-than-new for $10. Can't beat that.

I've read a lot of reviews for products purchased on Amazon.com, including for this one. I notice a lot of people seem to have unrealistic expectations about what they're buying, for the amount they're spending.

"Rude kitty" posted that "This would be a great product if you could actually change the battery." Clearly this person doesn't know how to change a battery! I had no problems changing the battery and it worked exactly as expected! "Andrew J. Thorson" posted "The LifeDrive is a piece of junk. Give up don't waste your money. You will need to buy a special tool to change the battery if you insist on wasting your money." First of all, his opinion of the LifeDrive is irrelevant to the review for a battery for the device! Secondly, the battery comes with the tool! Another person who didn't know what they were doing. Do NOT consider those two reviews when making your decision whether to buy this product!

This battery was an excellent value! I went to a local battery store and they quoted about $40 to replace the battery! Considering what I saved by ordering the battery from HQRP, and what I got for the money, consider me a repeat customer! If I need to replace the battery again, which I inevitably will since I know how the LifeDrive treats batteries, I will look here first!

What more can I really say? The battery works as expected. It powers my LifeDrive, I can use my LifeDrive again, I'm a satisfied customer. I can go days, even weeks, between charges with how I use it (my Droid is my primary PIM device). I haven't had any strange battery-related issues since installing this replacement.

while this product works, it did not extend the battery life as long as I was expecting. I have upgraded the unit to use a CF card instead of the Microdrive and I should have gotten more time that way. I will try another and see how well it works.
