Tried a BL5C in my Glacier today and it worked ok, but it wouldn't charge.

I kept getting a cryptic message about turning the Glacier on when charging.

Put the original battery in and it charges without problem.

Also, does anyone know if the Glacier can be charged via USB connection to a PC or using a standard USB charger other than the very cheap supplied one?

It comes with a cable to connect it via USB to your pc and charge it.
You can also get a better quality charger for the bl4c on eBay or mp4nation has a 500mah one.

Re: Nokia Battery...
 

You're supposed to have the Glacier in the On position when charging it.

If you find that the battery isn't charging, that means the charger isn't giving it enough juice.

Buy an after market charger on ebay for a few dollars.

Michigan, I bought my BL-5C battery on ebay for 6 bucks. Shipped.

seraphim: have u got a link to the bl5c? they may not all be equal...

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

well... BL-5C is not rounded... is more like a matchbox... but rather thin

Re: Nokia Battery...
 

The BL-5C stats can be found with an easy Google search. The first 2 links are probably on Nokia's sites. You'll find they give two difference mAh rating, but I think that's because there are two model Samsung batteries rather and just a goof in the data online.

If you search ebay for Ikeym you'll find the guy I bought my battery from.

I'm not sure what the other posters "LOOOOOOL" was all about. If you'd care to try again in english perhaps I can answer the question?

LOL = Laugh Out Loud
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL = a long one

I'm almost sure there's a question in there. I've asked many people in my counterstrike clan to help decipher "LOOOOOOOOOOL" in the hopes you're asking a question or making a shakespearian declaration of such a profound nature my mind will melt.

But I think you're just padding your post count.

Re: Nokia Battery...
 

Are you talking of Shakespeare the painter?.

The long LOOOL was a reaction to somebody's question asking if Nokia BL-5C is proper Nokia battery BL-5C.
AFAIK Nokia batteries (or Samsung if you wish) adhere to stricts specifications concerning size and power... what other Nokia battery BL-5C can be then?

;)

Pfft , Writing silly messages to add to their post count , Immature
