Un-branded 1200 mAh BL-5F Nokia N95 battery
A while back "Jon" - a reader of this blog - posted several comments on my N95-battery-tips post about getting a 1200 mAh battery for his N95. The orginal battery supplied with the N95 is 950 mAh - a little bit on the low side considering the poweful capabilities of the N95 (hence the N95-battery-tips post).
The battery is un-branded and available through ebay retailer "battery-trading".
I decided to order one of these batteries too and it arrived while I was away on vacation last week. All together it cost me £10 to have the battery shipped to Denmark.
I will charge the battery during tomorrow and report back on its performance…stay tuned!
More battery images after the jump.

Did not work for me and I think I have received a defunct battery. I have not posted anything since I am currently in the process of contacting the supplier.
I can insert the battery and if I do not re-attach the back cover, I can turn on the phone. However, if I try to re-attach the back cover (or if I press ever so slightly on the battery) something immediately short curcuits.

Is there any other tested batteries?
I heard about bigger battery with a back cover…
Maybe someone has it?

@Benius: I have not tested any other batteries, but I know all sort of batteries are available at places like ebay.
Mobiltec24.de - a mobile accessory shop where I have bought stuff in the past - offer a 2400 mAh battery, which comes with a custom back cover.

I’ve also ordered a N95 1200 mAh battery from joeweiderx (Speedy Battery) on ebay. I had the exact same problem and would NOT recommend buying Nokia batteries on ebay. I’ve heard that the Nokia’s are really flaky with 3rd party batteries. I’ve had no problem buying 3rd party batteries for other phones.
I had a couple problems with shipping and got an N95 car mount instead.
