Although nokia said we could change the battery of lumia 820 and that is the greatest reason I bought this smart phone other than others, I could not find any places to buy the battery of it(BP-5T)... I chatted online but totally no help. He told me to Amazon, but they are also not selling it...............

What?!?!?!?!!??! Why I cannot change battery now?!!?!?!?!

I would presume that due to it being a new item and also the stock of the new Lumia accessories will probably have the same fate. I would wait for a month or two, when these accessories will filter their way to more retailers and more stock will be at hand.

You can always contact your region's Nokia and asking if they know of any places you can purchase it from, by clicking the Nokia Support link at the bottom of this page.

But why do you need to change the Battery so soon ? If you are facing issues, you may search the Forum since there are already a few threads regarding Battery issues and how to overcome that ..

THIS being one of them ..

I think the guy is referring to buying a spare in case he ever needs it. Well I hope so anyway

Lots of users carry a spare to swap if they run out of juice. That's one of the benefits of a user replaceable battery.

If you want a spare battery, would it not be wiser to opt for a Nokia DC-16 portable charger?

This has significant benefits over simply carrying another battery.

First, it through charges. Plugging the DC-16 into your phone and your charger into the DC-16 will charge both of them at the same time (no need to swap batteries out for charging!)

Second- the DC-16 will charge anything USB, i have used it on both my fruit and robot tablets as well as sat navs and other handsets.

Third, they are likley cheaper than a replacement battery, i got mine from a Nokia Carepoint in Cheltenham (UK) for £19.99!

Fourth, as it has a battery indicator on it, its classed as an electrical item, not just a battery, so it comes ith 12 months warranty as opposed to the 6 months you get on a battery!

Gief Kudos!

Yep.. I tired to online chat with nokia customer service, and gave me a phone number of Amazon.... But Amazon said there is no battery of lumia 820......

So............ you know.... Cannot find any solution.... Why nokia not put those very important accessories in their own store....

[galaxydirector]

I am a user of Nokia since my first cell phone.... and each has more than three battery to change whenever I want... Nowadays everything has been changed because of iphone and seems everybody can bring a heavy backup battery with them.... However, I still think it is much more convenient to change a battery whenever it is out of power....

[galaxydirector]

Did you see any other hold their cell phone on their ear and use another hand grabbing a piece of battery.............................hhahahaha..... that is so funny...... I know some of guys don't care when they playing game on it with battery line.... but for calling.... I mind it

[galaxydirector]

and also a more funny thing is on AT&T website, the battery is a samsung for Nokia lumia 820....

That Samsung battery don't look anything like a Lumia 820 one.

[galaxydirector]

correct..... What is wrong with Nokia......

[adrianhughes]

Nothing at all wrong with Nokia. Blame the AT&T rep who uploaded the photo of the incorrect battery.

I'm one who carries a spare battery in case I run out of juice (e.g. long day of browsing and emails), but don't want to mess with charging.  I need to swap the battery and keep going.

I have successfully purchased a spare from the AT&T website, and the one I received works just fine.  The website picture shows the wrong battery (a Samsung), but the one that arrives is correct.

Problem solved.
