Error message? Battery with red line thru it...
- I recently bought a BlackBerry Pearl. Then I bought some accessories... a USB Sync and 2nd Battery Charge Cradle (with AC Charger) and the extra battery from Wireless Ground out of CA... however I just tried out the new battery a couple of days ago and when I install it I get a picture of a battery with a solid red line thru it in the center of the screen... what does that mean?
Did I get a fried battery? It was charged fully prior to using... both batteries look identical.
I did do a search but nothing came up...
Thanks,

I'm wondering if these $20 batteries aren't legit given Blackberry is selling them for $40 everywhere else I look. (That and the plastic spacer on the end is too big.)01-21-08 12:16 PMLike 0
- The same thing happened to me with TWO seperate batteries I bought through the store on this site. Someone on another forum suggested they might have been fakes, but they looked exactly like the battery that came with my phone. Anyway, I finally just had to buy one from Alltel. It cost $60, but atleast it worked....01-23-08 03:39 PMLike 0

Yes, they LOOK the same, but are actually different...01-23-08 03:56 PMLike 0 - I understand that. I ordered the EXACT battery that is compatible with the Pearl - the C-M2 from the store on this site. It had the exact same markings, etc., as the original. By all appearances it was an OEM battery. But it wouldn't work. I sent it back and they sent me a new one. That one wouldn't work either. So I sent it back again and they gave me a refund.01-23-08 04:12 PMLike 0
- I had the same problem but something strange is going on. I have both a GSM Pearl 8100 and a new Verizon 8130. The new batteries work fine in the 8100 but do not work in the Verizon 8130.
Go figure.
I bought mine from a guy on EBAY and have been emailing him for three days telling him that the batteries were NG. He never writes back. Now I tried them in the 8100 and they work fine.... I guess I have to write to him and tell him they are OK.

I carried out following procedure.
1 Battery overnight in freezer.
Battery out of freezer. Waited a few hours. Never put a frozen battery in your blackberry
I put the battery in Blackberry and pushed battery tight on the contacts.
I think lastaction the most important thing, because the contacts in the 9500 are spring activated.
I bought the battery for 5 US $ in China. As a spare one.
With the original battery no problems.
Everything working again.
