I had to break the top of the spring loaded battery holder to make it fit. Since there was no longer a spring loaded battery holder, I substituted a rubber band and it works fine.
The battery leads have to be the right distance apart and it helps to have something to hold the battery up so it is parallel as it sits on the leads. I rolled up some scotch tape and stuck it on the other end from the leads. Then I attached the rubber band to hold it all together. The lights blinked blue and amber. When the blinking stops it should be done.
One trick is to wrap electricians tape around it to hold the leads in place so they don't spread. Granted, that makes it not universal, but just get one for each phone. They are less than $4. It works and it's the best option I have found.

I got this from eBay with 2 batteries (so practically for free) for my 6-year old ghetto phone with a broken charger port. Out of the box, it will look like they sent you the wrong one: there are no instructions and the battery probably won't fit in or line up with anything. So I looked it up online, and here's how to use it:1. The bottom battery support swivels/rotates, so if your battery charges from the side, you'll have to pull it back and rotate it.
2. Pull back the crazy spring-loaded bottom battery support and put in your battery. Doesn't matter which way (front facing/back facing) I'm pretty sure it auto-detects "+" and "-" electrodes. I've tried it both ways, and it works either way.
3. Slide the posts so that they line up with the leftmost and rightmost contacts of the battery. The LED will glow a steady red when you've done it right.
4. Plug the unit in. The LED will blink red and blue.
5. In a few HOURS when your battery is fully charged, the LED will glow a steady red again. The light is just annoyingly bright enough to get you to want to unplug the unit and remove the battery, which is probably a good thing.
The spring at the bottom battery support is crazy strong/stiff, and I'm pretty sure I'll be breaking the posts on this unit very soon, while trying to line them up each time. I'll eventually be gluing these posts in place (so much for it being universal), but I'll still have to contend with that crazy spring. This thing works, but they make drop-in chargers that are specific to the battery (the black ones), where you would just drop the battery into a fitted cradle with the pins already in place, pretty much like you would into your phone these would probably be easier to deal with. The ones with the clips might be better as well, if they'd let you clip your battery in, position the pins, then slide the battery up. Having a RAPID-charging feature would be nice too I don't remember my batteries ever taking as long to charge as they do on this unit.
Build quality is probably as good as all the other cheap chargers that look like this one. There's a USB port on the side that I haven't played with yet, but I'm pretty sure it's for charging a USB device while you're charging a battery (power out), not for powering the unit (power in). But even if it CAN power the unit, I don't think I can handle it charging any slower than it does now (lower mAh = slower charging). But hey, it works and I can still use my dying phone, which otherwise works the way I want it to and has all my stuff in it.
