My Nokia mobile phone only charges to 1 bar even when having been charged
for several hours.

What does this indicate? Is the battery simply dead? What could have
caused this?

Phone batteries have a finite lifetime.

Goodplace to check for a new Nokia one is "Big W"

MUCH cheaper on the net.

That's one thing I have always loved about Nokias,
they use very few battery designs, so they are always
readily available and dirt cheap.

$2 to $5 for my htc diamond and lasted just as long as original.
The nokias were a little bit dearer but a fraction of what they cost at
the phone shop.

$2 for the N95.

I never did have any of the Nokia batterys die, and I kept each one for
years too.

Yeah, so cheap from the net that the price is academic.

Haven't had any problem with any I have got.

And that includes a double capacity battery for the laptop too.

My missus needs a new battery for her Toshiba laptop. Last one I
bought from ebay lasted 6 months. Have you a link for the vendor
you have successfully used please?

Fraid not, that one is in an email on a machine whose hard drive
fell on its face and I havent got around to recovering the old emails
off that machine.

That was a few years ago now that I bought it. I have found that
with stuff I try to buy again a few years later, that earlier supplier
I was happy with is long gone. Just discovered that with cheap
glasses from china.

I ended up with these
https://www.zennioptical.com/#?nav_cat_id=2&q=710511&navused=1
I particularly wanted the plastic nose bridge with metal
frame rather than the pair of plastic things on little stalks.

The tracking says it should show up today.

And it did. They are hopeless tho, the vertical legs of the
saddle bridge don’t even contact the metal frame at all.
The only connection with the metal frame is at the top,
the horizontal part of the bridge. That’s not going to
last very long with the legs in contact with the nose
grease all the time.

Their returns system is fucked too. They will give you
a 50% discount on the replacement if you don’t like
what they supplied, but you have to return the ones
you didn’t like to the US and that costs most of the
discount.

Main saving grace is that they are so cheap that
its not big deal. I did get them to give me the
50% discount on a new pair without having to
return anything and I did plan to get a tinted
pair if the first one was satisfactory, so I just
ordered a new pair with tint. The frame was
half the price of the saddle bridge pair,
otherwise very similar in appearance.

No big deal, they are both for use when out
of the house and I will only be wearing the
non tinted ones after dark so they should
last fine since I don’t do that very often.
