Real OEM or fakes? Well, it depends on who your order from.
Based on the reviews you see for this product, there is conflicting news as to whether ordering the product on this page will get you a genuine Uniden replacement battery or not. The definitive answer is: it depends on who you buy your batteries from. There are several Amazon Marketplace partners offering batteries on this page for several bucks less than what Amazon.com is selling them for. Some of the offers are for half as much as what Amazon is selling them for. If you buy from the Marketplace sellers who are selling at half what Amazon.com is charging, you can be pretty sure you're getting fakes. I can tell you I have ordered three of these batteries and each time got good quality long-life genuine OEM Uniden replacements: two in Jan 2011 and one in May 2011 from Amazon.com, not one of their partners, and yes, I paid a few bucks more than what the cheapest guy on this page wants to get it from Amazon.com and wasn't disappointed. Am I saying every Marketplace vendor is selling fake batteries? No, but I didn't have the time or patience to try them all until I found who was selling genuine OEM batteries and who was selling knock-offs. I can assure you from my experience, however, that if you spend a couple bucks more and buy from Amazon.com directly, you'll get the genuine OEM replacement battery. The genuine OEM replacement batteries are every bit as good as the originals that came with my Uniden phones. In some cases, my Uniden cordless phones came with the lower capacity 750 mAh BT-1005 batteries by default so these 800 mAh BT-446 replacements are a small improvement to the original batteries in my phones. My advice: get this battery, spend the extra couple of bucks to get it from Amazon.com (not a Marketplace seller), and you won't be disappointed.
