Nokia says only Nokia batteries should be used with its phones

HELSINKI, Finland-Nokia Corp. warned in a statement that users should only use Nokia batteries with Nokia phones, an announcement Nokia said was spurred by reports of overheating batteries in Nokia phones in Europe, Africa and Asia.

“Original Nokia batteries and chargers are designed and manufactured adhering to stringent safety and quality measures,” Nokia said in a statement. “These include very strict requirements regarding the materials and insulation used inside the batteries as well as continuous production control and intensive product testing.”

Nokia said the use of non-Nokia batteries could in invalidate the phone’s warranty.
