Cellular Phone Forum / Manufacturers / Nokia / December 20046230 long life battery
Hi Guys Just bought a 6230 and need to know where I can get a super dooper long life battery for the 6230.I don't find the one supplied lasts very long when playing around with the phone. Thanks SD >Hi Guys > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >Thanks >SD Have you tried the N Gage QD BL-6C which has more capacity Chris P Bacon >>Hi Guys >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >Chris P Bacon ------------- Thank you, I shall look into this. Stupid question but is this interchangable without causing problems into the 6230 as its for the NGAGE yes? And how much greater capacity has this battery.I hope someone brings out a longer life one soon for the 6230. Anyway Thanks sammyD >Thank you, I shall look into this. >Stupid question but is this interchangable without causing problems into the [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >Thanks >sammyD Its a straight forward swap. I think it has around 200mAHrs more capacity. Check Nokia's site - Nokia, Phones, Enhancments, Power, Battteries BL-5C at 850 mAh compared to BL-6C at 1070mAh Chris P Bacon >>Thank you, I shall look into this. >>Stupid question but is this interchangable without causing problems into the [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > >Chris P Bacon ----------- Hey thanks for the help. I shall certainly give that battery a try after the holiday is over.

Did you follow the instructions in the manual re charging / discharging the battery when new?  SignatureWe are Pentium of Borg. Division is futile. You will be approximated. >> Just bought a 6230 and need to know where I can get a super dooper long life >> battery for the 6230.I don't find the one supplied lasts very long when [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >Did you follow the instructions in the manual re charging / discharging the >battery when new? ------ Hi Yes I did. In fact the saleskid who had one in the shop said to leave it on 12-15 hours (which I did) yet the manual actually only says 1.5 hours. I think the main problem is the amount I have been using it.ie continuously practising with images, texts and phone calls.As well as connecting it up to the computer et al.So its clearly a me problem but I still feel the battery is inadequate for the phone, but Im not an expert. Thanks sammyD > Yes I did. In fact the saleskid who had one in the shop said to leave it on > 12-15 hours (which I did) yet the manual actually only says 1.5 hours. Four hours is sufficient, but you should have (maybe you did?) fully discharge & recharge at least three times, to get ultimate battery use. SignatureThere are two things on earth that are universal: hydrogen and stupidity. > Four hours is sufficient, but you should have (maybe you did?) fully > discharge & recharge at least three times, to get ultimate battery use. How do you fully discharge? I tried to discharge by leving the radio on over night. In the morning, the phone was off, but I wonder if the battery gets completely drained this way. I have noticed, that when the battery gets low, the phone refuses to start non-essential functions, like Radio or MP3 player. That's actually a good idea, I think. But could it be that the phone shuts off prematurely when the battery gets low while a non-essential function is running? This would leave me with a low, but not a completely drained battery.

After a few times the phone will not even start, in which case the battery is then fully discharged. > Four hours is sufficient... Well, after less than two hours, the phone obviously stops the charging process, as the animated charge bar disappears. I hav always interpreted this as the phone's smart way to avoid battery damage (overcharging). If this interpretation is correct, what difference would it make to leave the phone on the charger for four or more hours? > Well, after less than two hours, the phone obviously stops the charging > process, as the animated charge bar disappears.

According to a drone in Nokia service (in Australia) on initial charge the battery bar is inaccurate. Battery cannot be overcharged. On my old 6310i initial charge was 12 hours, and 24 recommended. SignatureWomen do come with instructions; ask them. The other day I read a description how to make a long life rechargeable battery for all kind of systems. One can use cheap rechargeable batteries and one can make the capacity and the voltage whatever you want. You have to use a simular plug of course but as Nokia always uses the same plug, most people have one extra available. Kind regards Jan Wim > Hi Guys > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Thanks > SD |
