that's the best deal I have seen on new batteries so far. thanks! If I can find another $20 worth of crap to order shipping is free. Which effectively reduces the effective cost of the extra $20 by whatever the minimum shipping fees happen to be.

EDIT:

then again..are they INSANE:

I can convert an old USB cable with the correct tip all for under $5 and that is at RadioShaft Tiffany-like price levels.

Re: genuine battery $30
 

Do the original batteries have a memory?

Re: genuine battery $30
 

lol that cable is $40!!!!!!Comon people...

Re: genuine battery $30
 

meh.
I got two batteries off ebay for $10 incl airmail. Who cares if they have the Nokia hologram or not?

Re: genuine battery $30
 

The two batteries I got for $10 including shipping are also working fine. But $30 for a real Nokia battery is a lot better than twice that much.

Re: genuine battery $30
 

Use coupon "off15" to save $4.49 and bring the total--including shipping--to $29.41. Or go to AccessoryPost.com, which appears to be the same company, and use the same coupon for a BP-5L at $25.19 shipped.

Re: genuine battery $30
 

These are great deals. Has anyone found any problems who's ordered these batteries so far? I'd like to order one. Thanks

Re: genuine battery $30
 

it's identical to the battery that came with my n800. no problems yet. it lasts three times as long as my ebay battery.

Re: genuine battery $30
 

FWIW, I just bought on Ebay, 2 non-nokia n810 batteries and a stand-alone charger for them. $12 total, shipped from Hong Kong to the US. Even if they aren't the greatest, they have to provide extra playing time when travelling, and the cost can't be beat.
Just search Ebay for the battery type.

Re: genuine battery $30
 

does anybody know if a BP-5L battery will work in the N810? N810 comes stock with a BP-4L battery and they are more expensive.

Re: genuine battery $30
 

No, the contacts are in a different location, and I expect the dimensions of the batteries are different as well.

Re: genuine battery $30
 

I used to trade in Generic batteries. The batteries had a failure rate of approx 5% (based on customer returns), and usually have a life of 3 months compared to 9 to 12 months of a genuine battery.

Fake batteries are more of a risk as they don't often have the protection circuits within the battery.

As sjgadsby said. The BP-5L is on the right.

Re: genuine battery $30
 

$2.40 free shipping, have ordered and received 3, no problems with customs etc.

Re: genuine battery $30
 

Just to warn you, mine shorted internally last weekend. Hopefully, it was one bad adapter, and yours will be fine. I won't be getting my replacement from DealExtreme though.

Re: genuine battery $30
 

Thanks for the heads up on that - certainly won't be leaving mine unattended now. However have been using them for many months without problems.

Re: genuine battery $30
 

I did this, got the low price from AccessoryPost, and got the battery three or four days later. That was maybe two weeks ago. No problems whatsoever. Looks identical to the battery that came in the N800.

Re: genuine battery $30
 

I got one of the older $5 ones a long while ago. Been working with a 4xAA to USB adaptor for ages.

Re: genuine battery $30
 

Just wanted to echo that I got this battery from Accessorypost.com (using the mentioned coupon code), and so far SO GOOD! The shipment was quick, and the battery is holding strong. I guess my old battery which couldn't hold the charge very well was just too old.
