yup 13 is still a good price. im gonna get one or some.
I already have a stand alone charger (dock) coming in the mail. now i'll just walk around with a spare battery in my pocket instead of my damn charger!
just swap in and out and no more need for battery saving tricks

Anyone near my region perhaps willing to split buy a small bulk? :)

Greetings

I could buy a three pack and ship one to you as long as u have a paypal account to refund the 9bucks + shipping from US to NED. should be a bit cheaper than 30+ dollars. the only problem is that it would be a long wait for u. im guessing 2wks to get to me then i ship to you would take another 1-2wks? its up to you. let me know, i'm game.

When it says you should recharge can you still use it for like ½ a day?, the BME system is a bit screwy and that's why i disabled it, and how old is the battery/days used, and just to clarify it is the 2250 you speak of.

And a note on the 2250, i have charged it with 5 charge cycles, and of course it is not shown improvement as the stupid ad said, the final verdict is still 1410mAh.

No it's full then all of the sudden it would go from full to recharge my *** now red status.

I sincerely thank you for that general offer, but I think I will wait it out for some time.
By ordering directly I could spend about the same or + afew dollars and get it faster, but thats not an attractive price for an aftermarket battery anyways. I can buy BL5J replacements in store here for about 10 Euros (same mAh) but I like the idea of 15% more..

For me there is no hurry, so it would either be someone closer by or sub-10 euros mailing costs. But i'll see how this thread and the suppliers (site) turn out, and maybe change my decision.

yea, it'd be a long wait for u and not really much cheaper anyway.

I've also asked about shipping that scud battery via china post or Hongkong post to Finland..Pretty much every neighbouring country can get that free shipping.. They said they would reply how to solve this issue, but it has already been four days..

Ive sent an email to the supplier, the site was not responsible for the products because suppliers add their products and shipping details themselves. Let's see how this turns out.

hi dr_frost_dk, what is the purpose of the test gate in the japod battery. is that used for determining maH of battery so if i wire them together it would read correctly (around 2600 maH)?
thanks for any information
