Heres a 1200 - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Brand-New-BATTERY-For-Nokia-N95-E65-N93i-6290-1200-mAh_W0QQitemZ200146773444QQihZ010QQcategoryZ48680QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

However it doesnt say if you have to have the bigger case. And I like the graph thats out of perportion with 160% 😊

Still, the seller has good feedback.

Heres a 1000 which looks like it will fit without the bigger case - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HIGH-CAPACITY-BATTERY-FOR-NOKIA-6290-E65-N93i-N95_W0QQitemZ270159234316QQihZ017QQcategoryZ20365QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Again, good feedback.

Heres a 1400 battery, including the cover - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1400mAh-BATTERY-FOR-NOKIA-N95-BL-5F-COVER_W0QQitemZ150154037828QQihZ005QQcategoryZ20365QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Not the yoohoo or whatever it was, but I suspect its exactly the same battery. Either way, seller has good feedback.

Personally I dont think Id touch any non nokia battery, as its a bit of a risk. But if your willing to chance it, those look as good as any.

thanks
not heard of that other 1400 one so i think i'll wait till i find a Yoobao as i've heard good reports about it

as you say, i could be the same one, but i'm trying to limit the amount of risk i'm taking with this

Ebay sellers of these batteries seem to have dried up. Perhaps that indicates their reliability, perhaps not.

Personally, I don't understand the appeal of a double-size battery. If you need twice the battery life, carry a spare BL-5F. They fit into the coin pocket of a pair of jeans, so they're hardly bulky. Of course, if you really want to make your N95 look more ungainly, you'll have stick a spare onto the back with gaffer tape. No bigger than a Yoobao, and 1900 mAh of juice!

Now, what would be a good seller is cheap, waterproof plastic cases that snugly fit spare batteries.

the reason behind me wanting one is irrelevent surely?

I only want it for high use periods where i dont have a charger,
like having a bbq down the beach and wanting some tunes on

or going away for a long weekend without having to worry about charging every night

.....i cant be arsed buying a spare and carrying it around.
having a fat phone once in a while wont bother me
