Hey guys, bought a Motorola phone phone on eBay. I love it, but the phone decided not turn on after using it for a bit. After opening the case the back of the phone, the battery immediately fell out... The bottom connectors had been stripped from the phone.

Then I realized... this does not look anything like a stock OEM Motorola battery.

First off... Its yellow.

Second... I didn't see a pull tab on the side.

So do you guys believe this is a fake after market battery? Are there ways to tell?

The battery looks a lot like this one on eBay:

Edit: Did the nail polish removal trick... failed. None of the ink or words rubbed off. Looks like everything was photocopied onto the front.

This is a replacement battery. Not the stock one. Also this is not a Motorola product.
I had bought one of this(EB20) earlier for my XT910 as the stock battery was twice its price and I didnt had enough in my account!
Go and sue the seller asking for the stock one!
