I just bought 1500mah battery but..
 

hey guys I just bought a 1500mah battery on ebay it was shipped from the UK


now my problem.

On my old nokia original battery the desktop command execution widget was showing 1294 something around in MAH

now when I put this one it's showing 694 mah

something is not right? is it fake ? or this battery will show 694 it's extended and it will work like 1500? Im not sure.

Simple answer (as I guess you're after that):

It's a cheap Chinese knock-off and they're basically outright lying about the mAh rating. They'll probably tell you it needs "conditioning" with a few charge cycles but that's a lie too. Essentially, you'll never better the original Nokia battery unless it's physically bigger with a different back cover (eg Mugen). Anything else is just a con and you'd be better off with a spare genuine Nokia battery.

Sorry.

No offense mate, but it may aswell have had chinese symbols on it and come with a free set of chopsticks.

The fact that it has actually arrived and itsnt made out of play doh is a bonus i suppose.

Buy a original Nokia battery and simple swap it when your primary one is empty, still the best way to get the double runtime ;) You get original ones for around 15€~

amen.go to your nokia servic pint and buy a original one it cost 30 euros and never buy a battery from internet they are always stupid fakes even at amazon are fakes.

Heh, technically it's not lying... the picture shows it saying "1500 mAh Max" ...

Just try it for one day, is the life of it comparable to the original? I have used chinese batteries better than nokia ones on my N-gage

The supposed fakes I bought are almost undistingushable from the real ones. In fact, I don't distinguish them, just use them like the original. I suspect they are from the same factories that make the real ones.

Anyway there are situations when you just need a replacement, real or fake.

Sorry to spoil it but to find example 1500mah li-ion battery sized same as Nokias 1320mah is too small to be mentioned.
At best you might get about same battery as Nokias or a bit longer lasting where some of the safety components have been taken and in time the battery starts to swell(in worst case broking your phone or worst).
