C3200 Has Constrain On Battery? Options

[chyang]

I bought 2 compatiable batteries EA-BL08 from http://store.l-f-l.com, and the result is they cannot be used in my newly bought C3200. When it is plugged, the LED will blink, and refuse to work in the PDA. I then charged it in my spare charger. Even after the batteries are fully charged, the PDA refused to work with it.
I then bought another one in China, the factory are building compatible batteries for Sharp's PDAs, also the same type: EA-BL08, but it cannot work with C3200 either.
Has anyone heard of the constrain? I don't know whether it is the problem of the battery or the constrain of C3200. Has anyone successfully used compatible batteries(EA-BL08) with C3200?
Thanks.

Hi Chen,

we had a lot of reports from customers that some fake batteries
won't work with the SL-C1x00/3x00 series. So we can confirm
that they're not compatible for these Zauri (behaviour of these
batteries is the same like yours).

But we can confirm that the Rowa batteries (the EA-BL11 type)
works with the new Zauri.

With all the news about the Sony batteries in Dell and Apple
laptops in mind, we would strongly recommend not to use
batteries from unknown companies. Just a hint.
