I have a Nokia 3650 cell phone which takes a BL-5C battery. The battery
charges inside the phone. The charging module on the phone went bad, so a cell phone repair place ordered one and will install it when they hopefully receive it in a few days. In the meantime, I have no way to charge the battery to use my phone until I get it fixed. Can I alligator clip the wires from a DC power adaptor (wall wart) to the terminals of the battery after cutting off the adaptor on the end? What voltage/amps would I use (give me a range if possible) and it looks like there's three terminals on the battery, but which are positive and which negative? How long to charge? The battery says 3.7 Vlots Li-ion, made by Nokia. It doesn't say amps but I think it's rated for 850 milliamp hours?I'm guessing the battery is about 1.5 by .75 inches, and very thin. I have some pics of the battery here, they're a bit blurry as the camera phone isn't good at close shots: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...ho/Image02.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...ho/Image03.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...ho/Image04.jpg Thanks very much, Dan |
