Question [Q] [Advice?] Best high capacity battery for x10MiniPro? (BST-38)

Looking to buy a high capacity battery for my x10 mini pro.
Maybe 1500-2500 mah?

I know there are alot of duds out there...
I'm looking at these right now:

Any links/advice would be great!

All i'm going to say is, Non sony-ericsson battery may cause damage to your device, use it carefully and give us a feedback if it works, or don't.

I bough one for my old Nokia 8310 and it worked perfectly.

I bought the DEJI BST-38 from dinodirect, it comes in a very posh box but it doesnt last any longer than the stock battery.

Ok, well I bought two batteries online and I'm waiting for them to arrive in the coming days...

I don't have the details of each at hand but I hope to test them for you when I get them.

I'd be interested in your results. I just got my x10 mini pro and have already noticed that the battery doesn't last long. Same as my old Nokia n95 and before that a SE p800... eventually both these phones got decent higher power batteries available... I'll wait till I get a few reports. Maybe someone could build a thicker back case and a bigger battery?

What we must know is : is it a lithium-ion or lithium-polymer battery

Because, Li-Ion last longer, but they get warm quickly
Li-Polymer are quite the same, but they stay cold.

Oh... The battery performance are quite the same between those two

how could a battery of the same size provide almost three times the capacity of the stock one? maybe it's because it uses the new Li-bull**** technology

Sure, here it is:

Made in Japan
2 year warranty
Utra-high capacity battery
Maximises time between charges
Delivers superior performance
Robust & durable battery
Direct battery replacement
Stable and safe to use
No memory effect
Uses Li-poly technology
Capacity: 2430mAh

Its not your li-ion battery crap that overheats and causes the mini to reboot, its li-poly.

With reports of 1930mh lasting for 6 days with one charge, im guessing 2430mah could last 8 - 10 days =)
