Hm, I sometimes charge my N810 with the charger that came with a BH-801 
headset (as big a difference in batteries as it gets), and while it takes 
quite a bit more to charge it, it does come to full charge eventually (if not 
used for video playback, surfing or other intensive tasks while charging).

Not sure that's true.  I use the same charger for all my devices, and my E63
battery is definitely bigger than the N800.  Both are 3.7V.  N800 1300mAh,
E63 1500mAh.  Just wish they had the leads in the same place so I could swap
them back and forth.

I would think any charger from a Nokia smartphone would be fine on the
tablets.  Of course, I have no empirical evidence for any of this.  :)

replacement battery for N810

2009-06-30 Thread Alexandru Cardaniuc
Hi All!

I've been looking at replacement batteries for my N810 and came across
Mugen Power 1800 mAh Extended Battery at $29.95
It's 300 mAh more than stock Nokia battery. Does anybody have any
experience with it? Does it really work? Is larger capacity actually
noticeable? 

Also found Mugen Power 3600 mAh Extended Battery for N810 for $79.95
here:

http://shop.eten.hu/mugen-power-3600mah-extended-battery-for-nokia-n810-with-battery-door-blue-p-475.html

Would be interesting to know if anybody tried that one. That's 2.4 times
more capacity than the stock battery. Nearly removes the need of caring
spare batteries...

A couple more questions :)

Are the batteries above thicker than the Nokia stock battery? Will they
fit N810 ?

Also, will the stock charger work with them ? Will it charge them to
their full capacity?

The Mugen batteries come in two sizes, the standard size and the extended size.

 their full capacity?

Don't know. But the battery would be useless if it couldn't be charged.
My experience w/ batteries of this type is that they usually have a
chip inside that the charger uses to figure out when it is full.

Nokia uses the same charger for all its batteries, so I'm sure that wouldn't
be a problem.

You want to make sure it is the same voltage as the original battery.
Greater mAh should simply mean longer run (and longer charge) times.
