Hi Lauter,
In case you missed it, I sent you an email last week regarding my order which I still have not received (I paid you a month ago).
Waiting for your reply.

Update;  finally received the battery yesterday after 1 and half months of waiting.

So I did some simple tests, playing MP3s nonstop on my C860 with volume and screen brightness set at half.

Unfortunately at full charge this new battery (1800 mAh ?) lasted only 1 hr 53 mins, even less than my 2 year old original BL-06 (950 mAh) battery which lasted 2 hrs 8 mins.

So it seems I've received a defective battery too

I got a similar result with my 5500.  I don't think these batteries are performing as well as they should, however, it would've cost me considerably more to get hold of a genuine battery, so I'm still fairly happy

Update (for anyone interested):

After my May 7 post (#138) , I immediately emailed Lauter to complain about the battery. He promised to send a replacement that works as advertised, but after a few follow up emails and 1 month later still no battery in sight.

And based on what I've since found out, I suspect the battery I have is not "defective" at all but actually represents the typical performance:
Apparently its "Max 1700mAh" (printed on the sticker),  not "1800mAh" as claimed by Lauter in post #117.

But as someone has pointed out in a previous post, 7210 Nokias are using BLD-3 batteries which are rated at only 760mAh.
http://www.nokiausa.com/nokia_accessories/...2224,10,00.html

An actual capacity of 760mAh(or slightly less) would match the results I got in my tests.

And searching ebay.de for "maxcell" batteries:
http://search.ebay.de/maxcell_W0QQfkrZ1QQfromZR8
Practically all these different maxcell batteries have the same  "1700 mAh" printed rating regardless of their physical sizes or phone models.  I think we can make some obvious assumptions here.


The "raw" battery is suspect, and the seller is not reliable, so my advice to potential buyers is to look elsewhere for a replacement battery.

Even if you are willing to accept the 760 mAh capacity,  what practical use is a battery that can barely last a half-day of normal usage on your C860 Zaurus?

Put your 35 Euros to better use and go buy a reputable brand, eg this Mugen Power battery:

Its not the slim type, but at least you know you're getting the correct capacity.

Alternatively search in Amazon.com, from time to time you may find sellers for the slim battery:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000645V...glance&n=172282


And for people who are happy to pay 35 Euros for a 760mAh battery, I'll sell you mine at half price

Hey Rokugo!

You got a replacement battery!? And I gave you the first one (that isn't workin so well) too, for you're long time of waiting. So what's the problem?!

Sometimes they don't have 1800mAh, but 1700 (depends on the batteries, I get). That's right. Sorry for that. But I wrote in the forum, that they last about 1600-1800mAh.
The part with you're Nokia batteries is wrong... They don't last as long, as the max batteries. That's the reason, why lots of persons buy max batteries for their Nokia mobile phones.
 And you could see, that they are not as bad, as you think, because the most useres do like my batteries.

Regards
  Ludwig
