Don’t ask me how! But I did. I was faced with the task of finding a new genuine Nokia N95 battery.

First thing I did was check out what was the battery model I was looking for. The Nokia BL-5F for N95. A quick search on ebay found batteries for under £5 however there is no way that a new genuine battery will cost less than £5. I decided to do a quick search on Google for “Nokia N95 battery”. This came up with a load of results but none from a known seller with a good reputation. I kept searching and eventually found my saviour: play.com.

For £16.95 they delivered within a few days and my phone was back up and running.

I also needed a battery cover because the sellotape on the back of my phone would probably start looking a bit shabby after a while. I opted for Amazon and went through a third party (888 accessories). The battery cover was the genuine thing.

Obviously I know the battery life on the N95 is very poor so here are some tips:

  1. Upgrade your firmware to the latest version because that really helps (Using Nokia update)
  2. Don’t leave applications open after you have finished with them
  3. Turn Bluetooth off
  4. Turn your phone to GSM mode only or whatever mode you need for your region.
  5. Read up on: WikiHow
