Unlike the iPhone 4 with its "Authorized Service Provider Only" pull tab, the Droid 2 has a helpful note stating "battery removal here." Thanks, Motorola.
-
Along the top side of the battery is one of the two visible moisture damage markers. The other is found to the left of the microSD card.
-
The Droid 2 has a 3.7V, 1390 mAh Li-Ion Polymer battery, providing up to 9.5 hours of talk time.
-
This is the exact same battery used in the Droid, and only slightly smaller than the 1420 mAh battery found in the iPhone 4.
