New battery needed.

I could be the battery, the charger or the phone (but probably the battery).

Do you have access to another Nokia charger to eliminate that as the cause?

Do you have access to similar Nokia phone/battery to eliminate those as the cause?

What is the phone model?

Phone batteries have a finite lifetime.

Goodplace to check for a new Nokia one is "Big W"

MUCH cheaper on the net.

That's one thing I have always loved about Nokias, they use very few battery designs, so they are always readily available and dirt cheap.

$2 to $5 for my htc diamond and lasted just as long as original. The nokias were a little bit dearer but a fraction of what they cost at the phone shop.

a lot of the generic ones you get on eBay are crap tho

$2 for the N95.

I never did have any of the Nokia batterys die, and I kept each one for years too.

Yeah, so cheap from the net that the price is academic.

Haven't had any problem with any I have got.

And that includes a double capacity battery for the laptop too.

My missus needs a new battery for her Toshiba laptop. Last one I bought from ebay lasted 6 months. Have you a link for the vendor you have successfully used please?

Fraid not, that one is in an email on a machine whose hard drive fell on its face and I havent got around to recovering the old emails off that machine.

That was a few years ago now that I bought it. I have found that with stuff I try to buy again a few years later, that earlier supplier I was happy with is long gone. Just discovered that with cheap glasses from china.

Office in Chatswood,glasses from China.

I ended up with these

I particularly wanted the plastic nose bridge with metal frame rather than the pair of plastic things on little stalks.

The tracking says it should show up today.

Actually, I had fair bit of problems with those generic ones on ebay. Couple of them I bought was far worse than the dying battery. When I whinged about it, they send a replacement, and that was the same. I think you need some luck, not to end up with crappy cloned batteries.

Never had one the exact size and they "fit" loose

I didn?t get them off ebay.

Nope, just enough of a clue to check the feedback if you use ebay.

All the ones I have got have been just as good as the original.

That's good one. I sometime tend to ignore it for cheap buys.
