Would a BST-40 battery be compatable with a W960 ? |

Just wondering if anyone knows if a  BST-40 battery (that comes with the P1i) will fit a W960i ?
The batteries (BST-33) in our W960's dont seem to last long and the BST-40 is a higher power rating so wondering if it would last longer.

I donīt think so look at the Pitures I attached, it looks like the Contacts" + and - " are different on both ,and it looks like BST-40 is a bit bigger
Sorry, that is NOT! BST-40 for original BST-40 pic see a few Postīs below
BST-33

It does fit,it's a bit tight & it stops the irritating squeeking of the battery cover on my W960 |

cheers for the replies. so it does fit and work with the phone but sits a bit tight in the battery compartment. My next question would be does it make a noticable differance to the performance/increased usage between charges ?

devildriver's pic is a BST-37
Main reason I'm wondering this is that the W960 and the P1 share the same internal boards/hardware except for 1 or 2 minor changes (eg P1 has QWERTY keyboard and M2 while W960 is standard keypad and built in 8gb memory and slightly thinner).
Software platform is basically the same except the W960 has  branding.
I'm also thinking back to when I had my P900 and there were 2 different batteries that were compatable with that one (900mAh and 1200mAh capacity). Wondering if may have done the same with the P1 and W960

My mistake, the Picture I took from Guenstiger.de is wrong, looked at "SE eShop" and it looks like this
BST-40

@devildriver
Thanks for that pic. Clears a few things up. Just compaired the pic to my W960's BST-33 and the +/- terminals are in the exact same place and the recess's in the top corners are the same.
W960's BST-33 battery is 950mAh
P1's BST-40 battery is 1120mAh
Might just pay the Ģ40 and get one to try as I don't have my P1 anymore. Only K800's and 2 W960's.

Both batteries voltage is 3.6v so power rating is the same. Its just the capacity (number of cells in the battery) thats different if I'm thinking right.

Well, BST-40 was also designed to fit P990, as SE(for whatever reason) couldn't release ill-fated BST-34......
And my P990 has never had a problem since replacing BST-33 with it...it also added 1/2-1 days' batt life...... 
...also last year, I tested a K810 with BST-40(K800 doesn't have room, sorry)...and(also with no problems in 12 days testing) managed to get 4 days' standby out of it! 
Can't see it causing problems in W960, myself......

Yes it does work, as do the P990 and W960 battery's in the P1. For future reference all you need to check is the output / voltage of any given battery, providing it is not different from the existing battery and it fits it will be safe to use. I swap phones often when travelling and make use of all my old batterys in which ever handset I am using.
I have owned the ... T68i T610, P800, P900, P910, P990, W950, P1, W960 But SE have now totally lost the plot. |
