Brother ultrafire88,
Have replaced the dead BL-4C battery which is costly as it is an old model.

If u had mentioned earlier tt yr Bluetooth receiver uses BL4C, i would hv adviced u to buy the BL5C instead. It is very slightly thicker but shd fit just fine. I know bec my holux is supposed to take BL4C too but i use the BL5C instead. The 5C is higher capacity (1020 mAh vs i think 850/900 mAh for 4C) and is about 50% cheaper! In singapore, 5C is S$19 while 4C is S$29!
Something to bear in mind if u later decide to get a spare.

I tried to beat the time for the battery, so went to SLS level 1 for it yesterday.
There were very few shops stocking BL-4C and BL-5C - be it original or compatible.
This is because these batteries are already on the way to be phasing out.
Indeed, the major difference of Original BL-4C and 5C is the capacity: 890 vs 1020 mAh.
Original Nokia BL4C and 5C are damn expensive (all quoted S$30+).
So I know I have to look for compatible ones.
One shop has quoted me a nicely sealed packing of compatible BL-4C or 5C same price at S$20.
I know original BL-5C is able to fit into Qstarz BT-Q1000 but I am skeptical to take the compatible BL-5C because you never know whether it is up to the exact specification of the original (size???). Since the device is taking BL-4C, the shop keeper is KIND (hahaha) enough to offer the compatible BL-4C to be fitted into the device else no deal. But he will not take back the BL-5C (once packing opened) if I insisted to try and turned out that the BL-5C is not able to fit into the device.
So, have no choice but took the BL4C.......
p.s. Look before you buy besides price:
- I have seen compatible BL-5C battery capacity specification ranging from 800 -1100 mAh.
