The branded version is $100 from Vodafone, but there is this (www.nzbatteries.co.nz) available from NZ batteries for under $20. It's unbranded, despite the website labelling the entry as 'Sony Ericsson'.

Does anyone who knows something about batteries have any comments on whether the cheap option would be likely to be any good?

See if there's a dead phone on there with a good battery - buy it, grab the battery and chuck the rest.

Lots of inexpensive batteries on TM (www.trademe.co.nz)

Probably no different to Vodafone branded one - only more expensive to leech more $$ from you :D

Much appreciated
