my wife has a nokia 3360, and lately it appears to be running out of juice rapidly--it is 2 years old. it used to go about 2 wks between charges, now she only gets a 3 to 5 days.
use is minimal.
the battery is the BMC-3, which is the mid-level 900mah 3.6v nimh. it was properly conditioned per instructions.
my thought was that the bat was probably nearing the end of it's service life.
my wife took it to the dealer, who stated it was not the batt, that she had to replace the entire phone!
welllll, right after a full charge, i checked the bat and it shows 3.9v...but of course this does not tell me whether it can handle a load.
anyone ever have a similar problem?
i think i will order a new batt from batterystation (about $20 + ship), and just try it.
at best, it will solve the problem.
at worst, we will need a new phone, and if we stay with the current model, we will have a spare bat.
any thoughts on how to tell whether the original bat is good?
also, any good places to purchase these bats?
i found a lithium ion bat (1100mah) for $12.90 + ship online--but the price seems too good to be true...probably is!
