7650 Battery differences? — Nokia 7650 — All About Symbian Forum Archive

Hi. I was just wondering if anyone knows the differences in the various batteries available aftermarket..
1) Std battery , 700mAh Li-ion?
2) Uprated 1100 mAh, Li-ion
3) New Li-polymer 700mAh

I am particularly interested in finding out if the 1100mAh is much bettter than the genuine one, from personal experience, and also does anyone know if the new Li-polymers are better than the originals, and in what respect? They seem quite a bit more expensive, but have the same mAh rating.

I am after 1 or 2 uprated or polymers, and wondering if anyone here uses Paypal and is maybe willing to purchase them for me, and send here, and I will pay them with Paypal (only method I can use right now)
Will give the person a profit for their help.
Uprated 1100mAh is �13.95 at http://www.1st4mobileaccessories.co.uk/nokiabatteries.shtml
li-Polymer seems to go around �22? http://www.flatbatt.co.uk/Nokia/nokia.html

Thanks,
Chaos

I use a (non Nokia) 1000 mAh battery (Li-Ion). It is a little bit heavier than the original 750 mAh Nokia one, but now I can now use my phone for 3 or 4 days without charging (2 to 3 days with the original battery).
I have only paid 12 Euros + shipping for the battery here in Germany.

I paid 18 pounds for a 1000mah battery, and I get 2 - 3 days most of the time. I do send a lot of texts and play quite a few 3D games so I don't think it's bad. Beats the 1 day charge I got on the original battery!

Didn't realise you could do this - is there anything I should be wary of in particular if I go look for a new battery for my phone?
