i've used my stock batt quite hard in the last 3 months then bought a replacement (bl-j5) from a cheap market stall. with this regardless of what apps you've got going or how hard you use it a spare will be your best friend. as a batt will never last as long as you want. but hey its a few bucks n your n900 deserves it

So I charged up my new purchase, and its much much better life than the battery that came with the phone. 1 hour bike ride and virtually no life used up on the battery - compared with 30-40% life with the origial battery.

Wonder if I just got a bad battery with the phone originally, but I read lots of folk having battery troubles - maybe a £5 at amazon is a good investment.
Err.. I don't think you can get an official battery for 5 (pounds?). But I do think it's possible a new battery is better. Especially if your device has locked up and stayed stuck at 600 Mhz for a while (you know cause the N900 will be pretty hot). I think that might kill some battery cells.

I belive sometimes the phone cant read some replacment battries so you dont notice the battery life indicator changing...
Basically the battery can tell N900 "I'm a 2000mAh battery!", and N900 will show a bit more than half full battery after 900mAh when the battery is infact 5 minutes to empty..

Don't rely on the meter to tell you anything.

i get 2 hours continuous browsing off the first bar, about an hour each for the next 6 bars then it seems to drain quite fast on the last bars. wierd

A friend of mine did the same.

Simply you will get high percentage reading until that nice number suddenly falls.

You have to look at the real usage time and not to a number that means nothing on the cheap batteries.
