Enhanced battery available?

We all know the limitations of the standard N95 battery, I was wondering if there is a more powerful battery available for the N95 (that is compatable of course)?

Plenty on ebay if you do a search. 1350mah or 1400mah too.

BEWARE: Most batteries on eBay or Amazon are cheap chinese imports which either die a few months after purchase or else may leak or explode/overheat inside the handset rendering the N95 warranty void.

The vast majority of these cheap batteries also don't hold the charge any longer than the genuine N95 battery, despite their higher mah rating.

Ok, but is there a Nokia approved enhanced battery?

No, unfortunately there's only the onle 950mah Nokia battery for the N95.
The point I was trying to make is that there's no real, reliable, alternative.

Buy a spare genuine Nokia n95 battery and a desktop charger if you must.
Alternatively, get a spare mains charger and charge the N95 at the office.

I've bought a �4 charger from Ebay and now charge the phone all day at work. To charge the phone is then no extra effort and I now rarely have low battery problems.

Yeah I do the same.

I bought a USB cable with both USB and charger connections on eBay so now I can sync and charge my phone at the office with just one cable connected to the PC.

If you plan for it, the batteri limit is easy to get around.
