I was about to buy one of those UK gold batts..now glad I didnt.

I did however, buy a pair of oem looking batts (about $5 and free shipping) to try from the cellshop on ebay..one was dead on receipt and the other one sort of works but isn't as good as my original OEM.
For $5, I'm not complaining.

btw,
lshal command shows :
battery.reporting.design = 1294 for my original Nokia batt.
battery.reporting.design = 1250 for the cellshop ebay batt.

I would think somone could make a double thick batt around 2500mah and provide a new back with a slight bump out...that would sell..even if it was made up of 2 nokia OEM batts stacked.
This is a great forum...!

There is one. 2400 mAh. Makes your N900 7mm thicker. Battery meter gets confused as hell by it, but it's genuinely 2400mAh.

I'm using a charger called Zzing, which takes power from my Schmidt dynohub and provides 5v USB for my N900 on the move. Works a treat

Just wanted to let you know that the battery you are buying is a fake. Here is a link to the company in china that is selling them. They are actually rated at 1050mAh and the manufacturer is asking the buyer to specify the rating wanted. They specified 1930mAh to make it sound believable and sell them.

I don't know about you guys but I bought this battery here at Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o01_s00_i00

Advertised as 2050 mAh
I tested and it charged up full to 660mAh or more.

Don't let the numbers fool you because this battery is AMAZING!! I believe i can use the phone for 2 straight days w/ regular usage such as text and phone call and music which mean it can last up to 48hrs of normal usage. Now compare that to my stock battery....there's no comparison, my stock battery from going to work and leaving work is all but dead for normal usage. Also, this NEW battery DOES NOT DRAINED!! I think if i leave it alone and never use the phone, it will last forever...well maybe not forever, but weeks and weeks. The reason i say this is because from the time i went to sleep to waking up and looking at the batterygraph, i see virtually a straight line slight slight unnoticeable decline for 8 hrs!!! That means it DOES NOT drained like the stock battery. I don't know about any other batteries like the SCUD or how those perform but this battery is the bomb so far. I just ordered another spare one.
