A few weeks ago i bought extended battery for my Fujitsu-Siemens Pocket LOOX N520. Standard battery has very short working time under high load. For example after 1 hour of Skype over wifi i had completely discharged battery. The same for internet browsing and movie watching.

Extended battery has 3,000 mAh (standard only 1200) and comes with special cover, because extended battery is thicker than a standard battery.

Complete charge takes about 12 hours. I have charge it one week ago. Right now indicator shows about 45% of capacity, but i have use it very hard last week (about 3.5 hours talk using Skype, about 1 hour of internet browsing). This battery is also compatible with LOOX N500/N560.
