Could i change..:-?

[neruanza]

Hi guys, hope this is the correct section..

Could i change the mAh of the battery with an higher one? :-? (BL-4C 760 mAh / Bl-5c 850 mAh - to a Bl-6c 1070 mAh) i have a 6260 and a n-gage can i charge the bl-6c with the original charger without problems?

Tx in advance

Rizpect

mmmhhhh a little help...

Yeah you can (I have 2000 mah batteries in my mp3 player; it came with 1500 mah ones). HOWEVER, the voltage and amperage must be the same (check specifications or e-mail them concerning compatibility). FYI Milli-ampere hours is a measurement of how many milli-amps of current a given battery can produce a given amount of time. 2000 mAH means 200 mA over 10 hours, 20 mA over 100 hours, or theoretically 2000 mAH over 1 hour.

Thanks for your reply,
but from the first part of your answer it seems to be possible to change the original mAH battery with an higher another ones right?
so if i change the bl-5c of my n-gage with the bl-6c of the QD nothing happens..the battery life will be higher than before. Right?

As long as the batteries are the same voltage and amperage, you can change them out, regardless of milliamp hours. Basically, more milliamp hours means longer battery life per charge. You should contact Nokia or look around online a little bit for the specifications though. Why? Because if, for instance, you put the bl-6c in and it's got too high of a voltage, it will fry your phone. Or if you put it in and it's got the same voltage but a lower amperage, your system won't run.

If you want to be on the safe side, go to the Nokia site and look up the n-gage and n-gage qd. Look at their accessories list and look up which batteries they support. If it's not on that list, I wouldn't stick it in the system.

smpballa240, so your mp3 player support higher voltage, right?


....Yeah you can (I have 2000 mah batteries in my mp3 player; it came with 1500 mah ones)...

in the list of accessories for n-gage there isn't nothing, only the bl-5c (850 mah(i don't understand why the 7610 has the same battery model but has 950 mah :???: ))
I heard of people that have changed their batteries from 850 to 1100 (non original) and nothing happens..what do you think?their phones are gonna to explode??
I think that nokia give us the less possible; if you want more you have to buy accessories..

How do you check if this particular BL-5C i have is 850 or 950 mah?

sorry, 900 mah.. :eek:

@nk-au look for it online or buy a meter that'll tell you. The meters are a lil bit of money ($20 american maybe) but they're useful for other stuff like finding electrical problems in your car or testing batteries.

neruanza, I'm not getting what it is you're tryin to ask now, so I'm gonna answer what parts of your question I can.

my mp3 player doesn't support higher voltage, no. Very few electronic devices support a wide range of voltages. However almost all devices support any range of mAH batteries given the same voltage and amperage of the batteries.

Voltage is the difference between the charge on two ends of a battery (e.g. 9 volts).

Amperage is the strength of the electricity flowing through a circuit (expressed in volts devided by resistance. 10000 volts at .1 amps won't kill you, but 100 volts at 10 amps might).

mAH is the amount of amps spread over a given time. Thus a 2000 mAH battery will last longer than a 1500 mAH battery.

Given all this information, you SHOULD be able to switch out an 850 mAH battery with an 1100 mAH battery given that they're the same voltage. So as long as the bl-5c, bl-5c in your 7610, and bl-6c are all the same voltage (I believe it's 3.6 volts), it will work. I've looked around (don't you feel special, I did research just for the sake of your question) and other people have switched out their bl-6c with their bl-5c in 6600, 6620, and 6230, so I'd say it's fine. But it is actually a possibility that the phone will explode. People accidentally blow electronics up all the time by using the wrong battery. At the very least they fry the circuits or the battery leaks.

Why doesn't Nokia support switching the two batteries? Well, for one, the bl-6c is slightly thicker (that's why it has more mAH) and the phones simply aren't designed to hold the thicker battery. Second, they just don't want to have to test and support multiple batteries if they can avoid it. Third, they're a company just like any other and it's more profitable to them to have people buy multiple batteries instead of use the ones out of their older phones.

Thanks for the reply and for explanations...i've understood :D
