Both times I am at a customer site using their wifi to surf the internet. All of a sudden battery low, and a second later, battery dead. Is the battery truly dead? I try to power on after the phone dies, but it just dies again until I charge it some...

I have two batteries: one cost me 50u$s, other 12u$s.

the 50 bucks battery works flawlessly

the 12, drops from 50% to cero, like you said.

this happened to me the other day exactly at midnight it really confused me when I noticed it. Can I ask if you use an aftermarket battery/charger or is it the one that came with the N900? I actually filed for a refund for my aftermarket battery yesterday when I noticed this.




Edit: OK aftermarket battery problem confirmed.

No thatr's not true. The cheap batteries are good as extras. The problem is that Nokia implements a kind of circuit so that it stops charging when it is full, battery shows proper percentage etc... These fake batteries do work, but do not have this kind of circuit.

Like I said good in case the original battery is drained, but keep as an extra. Mine does this too.
