im pretty sure the Nokia BL-5C batteries don't allow the back cover to fit on with the glacier. im sure someone will confirm this

I have a BL-5C working in my glacier now.

You are correct, that the back will not fit completely on, however if you use a good knife to cut one of the retaining tabs on the front of one side, the battery will slide on snuggly with a slight bulge at the top mid portion of the battery cover.

It's not very noticable unless you turn the player sideways and look for it.

I wanted to give it a try because of the large difference in milliamp hours that the 5C offers over the 4C.

I've had it playing WMA files for the last 2 hours, and will see how long it plays.

Id also be interested to know how long a 5c lasts. It would seem cutting one of the tabs compromises the ability of the back cover to stay on, no? Perhaps removing the battery's paper label might also help.

Well I fell asleep at the 16 hour mark, so I don't know how long it lasted.

In fact BL-4C fits right in an Mp4 rockchip player.
But I have done the same that Seraphim making fit a BL-5C into my device by making it more thin.
It worth the effort. Nokia battery (in fact is a Samsung battery) last at least three times the original chinese battery.
Rockchip device demands more battery than an Ipod clone. Manufacturer put a special remark about this, how is to s switch off the device when it's not in use.
I find out that is a Samsung battery because in the process of make the BL-5C fit in my machine I remove Nokia cover, now is a silver battery with a small Samsung marked on it.

Not a Nokia anymore :P

Did you say 16 hrs?! Where did you get your BL5C from?
