There was a time, awhile back, that some Motorola phones had bad batteries, plus needed firmware updates. It's long enough ago that I don't recall if the two coincided. But, more recently, the XM satellite radio MyFi had a similar battery problem -- heating & short charge, potential fire hazard. The situation was bad enough that XM replaced all the MyFi batteries for free. Although not the exact battery in my V551, it was similar. Bill K
