Good information infogle.
I'm sat here with my BL-5C battery and serial number but I can't get the Nokia site to check if mine's one of the dodgy ones. Guess they're snowed under with requests.

 

Thanks and just checked mine. So lucky me. So thanks again for the heads up.

 

yeah.. heard that nokia battery are exploding when they are over heat..
If you have one of this battery labeled BL-5C you can exchange it to nokia and get a brand new battery...

 

I have Nokia 6600 and Nokia 2310. Both mobiles have BL-5C batteries. The nokia website isn't loading for me..

oh dang, i wanted a free battery

 

i just checked it gave me this message

 

Just checked mine, and got the same message. Phew!

 

Lucky me - I got one of the exploding batteries. They say they'll send me a replacement and I have to return the old one to them.

Guess I'm not talking on my mobile until the new one arrives.

 

Thanks for the heads up...

 

Thanks for the info mate.....

I have just checked it and found I am safe.
Cheers...

 

Thanks for the info.I use Nokia 6681 and just found that it is also an BL-5C.Time to check website.

EDIT::Just checked and found i am at safer side.

 

Thanks
A Lot
Checked Mine
I Am Safe

 

You said they are going to replace one of your batteries..Is the battery made in JAPAN.. I heard that those made in Japan are of risk and that those made in china don't have problems..

And thanks to infogle for the information..

 

i was about to post a thread about this , thank goodness i searched a little before posting. Anyway, mine is 5B so no problem for me. And good job infogle

 

Well, that's the curious thing - my battery actually says 'Made in China' on the back of it. When I put in the 26 character serial number it came up as a bad 'un. I guess they'll know. Still not had my replacement yet.

 

Wow, luckily I use Motorola. Thanks for this info though, I'm sure a lot of people will be helped.

 

Thanks for that info.. now, I do believe that those made in china are also of the same risk.. the only confirmation is through their website..

Also.. Some people have informed me that you can check the battery's manufactured date by dialing *#0000# but its not true.. Your battery can be manufactured earlier than the date given in that information..I checked this myself by putting different batteries in the mobile and they all give the same date which confirms that it is giving the manufactured date for the mobile and not the battery..
