Hi, wondering if there are batteries available for the N82 than the 1050mAh BP-6MT battery?

Just now I've got an unmetered internet package, use the bluetooth more and regularly listen to music on my n82, I can run out of battery within a day!

Phones are designed to work with the battery they ship with and no others.

You may find a battery from an alternative manufacturer that has a greater capacity than the original Nokia battery, but you are exposing yourself to risk by using it. Many of these so-called compatible batteries are in fact manufactured to shoddy standards and seem fairly prone to leakage and even explosion in some cases. Quite apart from the health hazard, any damage to your N82 caused by such a battery would immediately void the N82's warranty.

The best solution by far is to purchase a second BP-6MT and carry it around charged. If the one in the phone does go flat, no worries. Just switch the phone off and replace it. When you get home, charge both up.

I found that if I use any charger other than the wall charger included with the phone, the charge barely last a day. I think I may have fried it at this point after only using a car charger a few times, b/c my BP-6MT is now overheating.

That is indeed quite possible. Not for nothing do Nokia recommend that you only use Nokia-approved chargers.

Yeah, I too have a N82 which I have been using for an year, but of late it has started overheating (back cover), though I use the original charger shipped with the handset. Is it time for battery replacement or is it something else ?

Hi Ramesh,

When does it overheats? During charging, long use?

Cheers.
