I ordered this battery so I could have a backup for my iPaq while travelling. It's the exact same battery that is included with the 5455. Unfortunately, it carries a hefty price tag and also some ridiculous packaging. Typical of most accessories, this battery comes sealed in molded plastic--the kind that allows it to be displayed in stores, but completely deters theft. The package was sealed so tightly with such thick plastic that I felt like I was performing serious surgery in order to extract the battery. In the process, the metal cover (wedged so tightly into the plastic) was slightly bent and required another 15 minutes of finessing to reattach it to the battery. Aside from the price and packaging, the unit performs as expected.
