I wrote to customer service and this was their response...

Hi Jen,

The battery is not a standard Nokia or Samsung battery and I do not have the specs on it, but if you need one, you can order one directly from us by calling 866-368-8788, Mondays-Fridays, 10-6pm, Pacific Time (we don't sell them on our website yet).

thanks,
Amy

Now, that would be great, except A.) if I suddenly need a new battery, I don't want to go through the hassle of ordering and waiting, I want to run out to the store and buy one and B.) I don't want a crappy chinese battery, I want a long lasting brand name one. At this point I may order one just to see what's under the tape and chinese label. It's not unusual for some companies to take a product and relabel it with their own label, so who knows.
