Also, I notice some artifacting, see attached.
Concerns me that this battery might be doing damage to the phone. Albeit minor.
Anyone else experience artifacts like these??
Mine wasn't that much though, just a speckle of artefacts right of the clock.

I got my new battery covers today. It appears that the lens isn't covered, correct? The on-off switch works fine and the memory card is detected now, but what is the best way to protect the lens?

Bump. Can someone else with the Muge high capacity battery confirm that there is no lens protector? I'm just using it without one now, but it feels insecure.
Edit: Nevertheless, I like this battery, even though it's a clunky monster. I haven't decided what to do about the uncovered lens yet. just leave it and hope for the best? That's what I am doing now.
I brought my N900 to the filming of the tv show Mad Men a couple days ago, where I was a driver. The camera was fairly useless for taking long shots of the cast, so I won't be making a living as one of the papparazi.

I don't know if this can reassure you, but I have been using the Mugen battery & cover for a month now, with lens exposed, and without any problem. The lens is recessed so it's not as prone to get dirt and scratches. And I don't have to think of recharging during a full day any more

It is so recessed I doubt you will get into any issues.
As for the artefacts, I am not getting any this time around. I have refrained from moving to the overclocked kernel so as to not confuse any issues with this new battery [such as this one].
I do hate not knowing if the battery is near full charge or about to die on me

Of course, as long as I charge it every night, I know it's not about to die on me...

That has been my mantra too so far.

Mugen should try to fix the issue. I've reported to them, but no comment if they can do anything.
I think the interest would be bigger if the issue would be fixed.
They have dropped the price again. $ 87.95 is rather expensive still though.

If we could make the battery gauge read voltage insted of (dunno what), from 4200 to 3600 mV, it would be done. Maybe with a wrapper script?

It ended up suddenly running out [after being at 96% last check only an hour before] at about the 36hour mark.
I did use it in a med-heavy way.
ie videos, browsing, Bluetooth, 3G.
