Sure, if it's gold then it must be better, obviously.

Yes but if its just a Gold casing and not Gold conductors then its no good is it ?

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

i wouldn't put my life on the line for that thing.

btw, it doesn't look like its made from japan to me, more like china.
u haven't heard of the number of death related to exploding fake batteries in asia have u?

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

Not as a gimmick, no.

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900

This one is interesting.

It actually says Made in Japan. It's also not that cheap.
I might actually get one to see how it is.
Not all aftermarket batteries are bad btw.
Just that there are too many bad ones out there.

I expect this to be "GOLD" colored casing and nothing more.
Well, they may have used gold contacts but that's nothing new.

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

I see one negative rebiew about this particular "gold" battery.
It's actually not that bad either. Also, 32 negative out of 8371 isn't bad. =P

"didn't hold charge anywhere near as much as genuine battery, say 75% of it."

75% of 1930mAh? wow. that's excellent if that was the case. :p

BUT... I can buy a genuine Nokia original BL-5J for about the same price. So for me, this isn't worth it.

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

Yes, that's true. I saw it on television a nokia phone exploded while she's holding the phone because of faulty battery and you already know what happened to her hand.... good thing she still have 5 fingers on her right hand.. haha..

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

Well he said 75 percent of original, and original is 1320 not 1930.

The amusing thing about these "Gold" batteries is that they're available in various different physical sizes, but always have something great like 1930 capacity... suspicious :)

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

man, that is misuse of brass......

e: unless you want to make your n900 a pipe bomb. I bet that casing could deliver some serious shrapnels....

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

bare in mind that Nokia pulled away from Japan. So why would battery for the 5800 is made is japan? There are plenty of china made batteries out there. The photos is just a sticker with gold colour. Not actually gold.

could anyone buy it and test it out?

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

Just because it says Made in Japan doesn't actually mean it was. Less than reputable Chinese manufacturers will slap just about anything on their product to try and sell it.

The fact that there's so little text tells me it's not. Never mind that the string of kanji there is Chinese, and it has no manufacturer label at all.

I also love that the packaging has ORIGINAL printed on it twice, as if to reassure you it isn't a nameless, cheap knockoff. Buying that is about as trustworthy as buying thumb drives and SD cards off eBay.

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

I also found this one. JIN DIAN? Anyone knows wtf is that and can it be trusted to produce good batteries?

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

just so u guys know, the characters on that gold battery is chinese, n its in simplified chinese. a very good indication that its a chinese battery in reality with a japan made label. u know which also happened to be the country with collapsing buildings due to cutting corners, hazardous baby foods that causes hundreds of deformation cases, and 0 qc...

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

this battery is a joke......last 2 hours. It is 667 mah when fully charge. The casing is falling apart. i have tried most of those batteries on ebay....all have been junk. long train ride everyday:(

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

"cheap copy", "fake"...

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is...

Even if it made your n900 thicker?

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

and $100 price tag?

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

will update later today after a bit of use, can say that battery graph is saying 1222mAh

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

I dont really like using cheapo non spec batteries but you may have to run a few charge/discharge cycles before it gets to 100% capacity.

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

i feel the same but £10 is not really cheap but the product might be

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

hm....this is not good.....not promissing at all.....

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

looking at the package only .. it tells it all .. it looks crapy ..
original what ?

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

There is no mention about manufacturer other than that fake "Original". I'll bet that there is no safety electonics inside battery and that means it can be very dangerous.
It's like a russian rulette. You might be lucky ;)

Re: High capacity gold bl-5j battery for nokia n900
 

Better spend 10 bucks more and get a genuine Nokia battery.
