How to identify original Nokia batteries
When you buy a Nokia mobile phone, you must distinguish between genuine and fake ones. Let me first talk about how to identify the battery. First of all, from the perspective of the manufacturer, Nokia There are several battery manufacturers***:
1: Sanyo Energy Beijing Co., Ltd. (most)
2: Zhuhai Panasonic (more)
3: Dongguan Samsung Vision (rarely)
4: BYD (BL-5CA model only)
Any battery not produced by the above manufacturers is a counterfeit battery. Among them, Shenzhen Sanyo Huaqiang Energy has the largest number.
Scud is not a specialized NOKIA battery manufacturer, but its batteries are of good quality and can be used as a substitute for NOKIA batteries. But it does not imitate NOKIA, so your piece is neither NOKIA nor Scud, it is a fake!
Let’s look at the battery packaging again:
The packaging paper of Nokia’s original batteries is beautifully printed. Now new batteries will be printed with the model number, capacity and production date. Take the BL-5C battery as an example. It has two capacities: 970mAh and 900mAh. Any other capacity mark must be a counterfeit.
The copper of the positive and negative metal connectors of Nokia’s original battery is matte. If someone’s battery’s positive and negative metal connectors are bright and reflective, it is a fake.
The wrapper next to the positive and negative metal connectors of Nokia's original battery is soft rubber. You can feel it with your fingernails. This is designed to prevent the battery from short-circuiting after water enters. If you use your fingernails, If it feels stiff when pressed, it is a fake.
There are anti-counterfeiting marks on Nokia’s original batteries, but with the advancement of technology, some counterfeit batteries also have very similar anti-counterfeiting marks. Here I will tell you how to identify them, from the handshake pattern inside the anti-counterfeiting marks. Breaking through is the easiest. The handshake pattern in the real logo will change position when you look at it from different angles, but the fake one will not.
Finally, from the price point of view:
The cost of a good battery can be divided into two parts: battery cells and protection circuits. At present, the best batteries in the world are all made in Japan, with Sanyo being the most popular. The cost is related to the capacity, generally around 16-20. The main cost of protecting the circuit board is the protection chip, which is still made in Japan. The ones from Taiwan are the best, followed by those from Taiwan, which cost 2-4 yuan, so the cost of a high-quality battery is around 20-25 yuan. If the battery you buy is priced lower than that, it must not be a good battery. Take the Nokia BL-5C battery as an example: In large retailers like Gome, these batteries are purchased in bulk through formal channels. These batteries are all genuine boxes, priced at 90 or 120 (I can’t remember :)), and are sold exclusively. I don’t know the price of the store, but I personally think it should be very expensive. I suggest you not to buy it there. You can get it through informal channels like Huaqiangbei (I think they use high-imitation batteries to replace the batteries on the original machines). The batteries are all in bulk and the price is about 60 yuan.
