I ordered this on ebay the other day:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_4800wt_939

seemed like a good price, comes with TWO batteries, plus all the other stuff. Battery is probably fake right? The main reason I bought it was because of the silicone case and the stand-alone charger which is also a handy AC-to-USB converter. Just those 2 items alone would be worth the price IMO. But anyways ill see how it goes with it comes, delivery time is very slow. About 21 days. 10 day shipping is $20 extra!

i bought my self a genuine battery for $29usd and a desktop charger for it that has AC to USB converter as well for $15usd. right now i'm using the batter and it is great. worth the money though, always go for genuine product. never be disappointed.

i have bought 2 cheap batterys:

http://cgi.ebay.at/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

"lshal | grep battery" says for this battery:
Code:
  battery.charge_level.capacity_state = 'ok'  (string)
  battery.charge_level.current = 8  (0x8)  (int)
  battery.charge_level.design = 8  (0x8)  (int)
  battery.charge_level.last_full = 0  (0x0)  (int)
  battery.charge_level.percentage = 100  (0x64)  (int)
  battery.charge_level.unit = 'bars'  (string)
  battery.is_rechargeable = true  (bool)
  battery.present = true  (bool)
  battery.rechargeable.is_charging = false  (bool)
  battery.rechargeable.is_discharging = true  (bool)
  battery.remaining_time = 3600  (0xe10)  (int)
  battery.remaining_time.calculate_per_time = false  (bool)
  battery.reporting.current = 804  (0x324)  (int)
  battery.reporting.design = 804  (0x324)  (int)
  battery.reporting.last_full = 0  (0x0)  (int)
  battery.reporting.unit = 'mAh'  (string)
  battery.type = 'pda'  (string)
  battery.voltage.current = 4022  (0xfb6)  (int)
  battery.voltage.design = 4200  (0x1068)  (int)
  battery.voltage.unit = 'mV'  (string)
  info.capabilities = {'battery'} (string list)
  info.category = 'battery'  (string)
13+2€ for an 800mAh battery+external charger... but the battery shows not the right percentage of charge level.


and:

  info.capabilities = {'battery'} (string list)
  info.category = 'battery'  (string)
1270mAh for 17+2€ ...but this works normally.

Wll, guys, still no one here who tried batteries that are claimed to be high capacity, WHY? EDITED: oops, i see, the second one is and despite its impressive look is just similar to original 1300mAh. Did you provide the negative feedback this seller deserved?

First i will test the battery a few days, then contact the seller and give a negative rating

It is listed as 80mah for the solar panel; I assume they mean 80ma. So it will take 20 hours of non time tropical sun to charge its battery, which holds enough to charge the n900 once.

i posted this in the other thread... but though id put it here too...

"OK.... so i though sod it, i may as well do it now.....

Check the following out.... in all the pics with 3 batteries, the middle one is FAKE.... so i dismantled it....

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v1...arauder/BL5J//

Most worringly is the fact it says its 1320mah on the lable.... but inside it says 850mah!!!

most of it was stuck together with sticky foam / glue...

and you can also see what i mean about the hologram colours.

the shape of the face is slightly different....

i also made sure i used 2 genuine batteries from different countries... one came with the N900 itself, and the other from the link i provided earlier.. text does differ between the two genuine ones, so that cant be used to confirm a fake.

hope this helps some peeps out...
