Nokia Battery Replacement (BL-5C)

I have a message for all of you who are using the BL-5C battery for your Nokia 

handphone, which was produced between December 2005 and November 

2006. Some of the users reported that their battery was exploded due to the 

overheating initiated by a short-circuit while charging. There have been over 

100 incidents of overheating have been reported globally. No serious injuries 

or property damage, however,  has been reported.

Nevertheless, for your own safety, I advice those Nokia users with the BL-5C 

battery who are applicable for the battery replacement quickly visit the nearest 

Nokia Care centre to obtain your new genuine battery, FOC! To check if your 

battery was produced within the manufacturing period, go to 

http://batteryreplacement.nokia.com/batteryreplacement/en/ 

and key in the 26-character battery identification numbers from the back of 

your battery. These only applied to Nokia genuine battery and if your battery 

does not contain the identification numbers, you are not eligible for the free 

battery replacement from Nokia.
