cell phone battery...

[rh71]

I found this at http://www.popularlink.com/index.php?ITEMID=MA-205 where the Lithium Ion battery is 3200 mAH ... more than double what the highest capacity battery Nokia is selling on their website (1500, what I currently have). They say it is 14 days standby, which isn't likely, but I'd love to have a longer lasting battery anyway... what do you guys think? I have the 6185 model and it does say 61xx and 51xx models.

Use them at your own risk. If your phone is under warranty, I wouldn't use non-Nokia batteries. I bought one of those long lasting vibrating batteries for my 5120 and 2 days after installing it, my phone died! Of course, I failed to mention I used a non-Nokia battery(they didn't ask, so I didn't tell) and it was fixed under warranty, the one that comes with the phone should last you at least 5-7 days on a full charge.

Gutter, did you buy a battery 'set' that was rated at the same voltage as your original battery? Voltage is what kills your electronics, not amperage capacity. I haven't had the need to replace my 5160's battery yet, but I did replace the battery on my 900MHz cordless phone. I took out the crappy 300-something-MAh battery and bought a few mahacell NiMH AA-sized batteries with soldertabs and soldered them together. I'm proud to say that my cordless phone's standby time has shot from about 2 days to just under 2 weeks. BTW, Thomas Distributing is an excellent battery supply store.
