I am looking for a replacement/backup battery. Where would i find an original battery for the atrix, or what is the best alternative.

It also must be standard size. Thank you.

Oh, dear god, DO NOT buy those ****ty ebay batteries. If a battery isn't at least $30, it will be complete crap. I recently bought one of these deals on ebay for two batteries and a standalone battery charger for $25 and the batteries don't last more than ONE TO TWO HOURS. I'm okay with that, though, because the only thing I really wanted was the standalone charger and those aren't sold without batteries.

If you need spare, long lasting batteries, buy a Mugen Power. Mugen's are, without a doubt, the best aftermarket battery and will last just as long as your OEM Motorola, if not a little longer. Don't skimp on battery costs because you get what you pay for and there's a reason why those no-name ebay batteries are cheaper than dirt. (Hint: it's because they're worthless.)

This is what you want: Mugen Power 1900mAh Atrix battery

I always buy the standalone chargers, though, so that way I never end up charging my phone via USB cable; instead I just swap batteries.

Just contact Motorola support, they should send you one free because your phone is still under warranty.
Why should they send anyone a free spare battery? Ugh people here just love taking advantage of warranties for fraudulent reasons.

Anyway, screw post #2, it totally ignores the OP's request. You can get yourself a BH6X from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Droi...ef=sr_1_1?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1309970791&sr=8-1

Hopefully that links to the right bit, sold through and shipped through Amazon so you know you can trust it. Plus that way free shipping if you have Prime. I just got mine last week, it's definitely legit.

That Amazon battery appears to only be 1420 mAH... ?

I actually have, sitting on my desk right now, one of these batteries. It's a legitimate, OEM BH6X, just like the battery that comes with the Atrix. For the Droid X, it's an extended battery, needing a new battery cover. Blame whoever wrote the listing for putting the wrong info there.

Says right on the battery 1880 mAh minimum, 1930 mAh typical.

I actually haven't been able to track down an OEM standalone battery charger though, so I'm using an Amzer one which is very basic and very cheap feeling but gets the job done.

I have (3) Motorola OEM BH6X batteries (1 of them being the 1 that came with the device) and they all state 1880 mAh

and

i have (3) Motorola OEM BH5X batteries that state 1500 mAh on these.

What model # are these "1930"(s) you speak of?
If you have 3 BH6X, you'd see right next to where they state 1880 mAh it says 1880 is the minimum, and 1930 mAh is typical.

Don't understand the hate for ebay batteries. I've had good luck with mine.

And the external charger it comes with is almost worth the $12 anyway.
