I just bought 2 EA-BL06 batteries from amazon.com for my C-860--it cost US$15.00 EA and had free shipping

here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Sharp-EA-BL06-Rechar...d_bxgy_e_text_b

It's charging now...can't wait to see the battery life--will post about that later

This seller also has a lot of other stuff for zaurus users:
LINK: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_?url=me%...amp;x=0&y=0
the camera for $14.99
docking station for $13.99
leather case for $15.00
battery charger for $19.99 <----charges separate batteries...not charge the zaurus
sl6000L s. cable for $ 7.99

+ to my knowledge...all free shipping!

Thanks for the heads up! I just snagged the CF camera. I'm hoping it will work in the 3x00. We'll see!

Whats results of battery life?

oops.....sorry, the batteries I recieved seem to be near full life

Does anyone know if the EA-BL06 works in the C1000? Or what the mAh rating is for EA-BL06? (It is 1800 mAh for C1000.)

Not sure about it working on the c1000 ---to my knowledge, no. The mAh rating is the classic 950 mAh at 3.7 v

It would work, but you'd have an adventure getting it out (the C1000 battery is ~50% thicker). It would also only last a fraction of the time the EA-BL08 lasts.

My C1000 came with an EA-BL11 battery. (I bought it second hand from eBay.) Is BL08 what usually came with them?

I think the EA-BL08 is a lower-capacity EA-BL11, but physically the same.
