... all you'd need is a DIYS Nokia Battery Door Kit! Home Depot anyone? Lol. Someone get out the easy bake oven and some clay! We're making an extended battery cover

Anyone has the gear to test this battery and compare it to a stock BL-5J ?
Also on the safety/construction side afterward ?

Hmmm, I was under the impression it was more a factor of quality, similar to how CPU processors which may all churn out from the same fabrication plant are binned according to speed, and obviously their cache has to function. (or they may turn into crippled Celerys of yesteryear)
In my long ago days of R/C car racing we'd always pay more for higher capacity cells. Cheaper cells (fewer mAh) were also less likely to be matched (putting simiilar charge/discharge curved cells together in a pack). I can't imagine even with lithium-ion batteries companies would make high capacity cells and put them in a pack, cripple them with limiters (in a very loose sense) and then sell them as lower cap batteries. Maybe I'm misunderstanding Lord Raiden's take on what I quoted above, or "smart battery" production technology does not agree with me and appears wasteful and costly.
I would hope that even the cell/portable device battery industry would work in the same manner, giving legitimate reason for charging more for a battery with higher capacity- because they are either harder to come by (elite picks from the QC department) or they cost more to make.
I won't speak for misrepresentation of capacity by foreign knockoff battery brands. We all know we take risks buying cheap. YGWYPF

I have wondered if you could do something like this without hurting the phone. I upgraded my G1 battery from the standard 1200mAh to a 2300mAh and did not notice anything negative.
Is there a reason NOT to do this?
