nokia lithium ion battery

1. Posted: Feb 13 2008

   This was advertised as "Brand new OEM Nokia battery BLC-2" I don't believe these are new batteries. The first one I received had half the life of my original two year old battery. The RMA replacement that I received gives a low battery warning on the first call. It dies on the second. Neither battery arrived in original packaging. I am not impressed and have made a claim on Amazon.com A-to-z Guarantee. I would rate this item a zero, but I am forced to give it a one in order to post this review.

   Received battery without any problems. The battery does not charge and the original battery is still being used. I have not contacted the vendor for a resolution as of yet and due to the cost do not believe I will. Rather than wasting any more time on the phone which still works but the original battery does not last as long as it should, I will be replacing the phone once it fails completely.

   Battery works. Since this went into a second-hand phone which needed a new battery, I can't compare its working life to the original, but I'd rate the life as "acceptable" rather than "surprisingly long." I replaced the stock battery in my previous Nokia phone with a Just Wireless brand it seemed that I NEVER had to recharge that one. I recharge this one overnight every day that I use the phone. I wasn't tickled with the service from Eforcity. Even though they fully complied with the stated policy, generally I expect faster and less expensive shipping for a tiny item such as this. It could have been shipped by first class mail for well under a dollar including the packaging and it would have arrived in two days. Delivery time was quoted as up to 8 days and it arrived in 7, at a cost of $4.99. Exorbitant shipping costs for tiny items seems typical of on-line retailers, though, so I guess that's the price we pay for convenience and availability. The total price I paid was still about half what I'd have to pay locally for a similar battery. Shrug. If you're a regular on-line buyer, this is probably just par for the course for you, but I was annoyed.
