Sounds like they put that claus in the manual to stop people demanding a new battery if theirs died after 7 months, BUT i think in UK consumer law you are entitled to a replacement one if a battery becomes faulty within an unreasonabley short period of time, so this is wide open, because it sounds like Siemens are saying the battery is only good for 7 months which is a bit short if you ask me, BUT the question is.....WHAT WAS WRONG WITH YOUR OLD ONE ?
I it wasn't holding a charge or wasn't lasting longer than 1 day then fine but it sounds to me that you threw away a good battery.
Have the Garbage men been yet ?

The gargabe thread men prolly on theri way in a range rover now...
(didn't u say you were scottish Miss UK?
)
Anyway.... no matter what the manual says.... i usually use the battery until it start giving me trouble and only then replace it. I would think a decent battery would last lots and lots longer than 7 months!
Shame you threw it away already.... don't be so quick next time

My mate says its best to replace batt every 12mths he read my manual and just said hmm! the old enn was starting to loose charge ie. it be halfway 1 min when I turned off n on it go full again, bizarre lmao! I threw old batt in wastepaper bin so it can be salvaged if u think I should keep it ;o) the new batt from eBay is really awkard to get into the phone its bigger on 1 side than old enn damn i'll know to buy originals nextime! @ Vlamm im from Scotland yeah ;o)

Was in Bumbartonshire myself thye other day, keep your old battery, get your shop to test it as it could just be dirty contacts. pattern batteries can be poor quallity.

If its Nickel Cadmium, let the battery run down to empty once a week, then fully recharge as the batt will last longer.
Ive got a decrepid Nokia 5110, original battery still in place and that still works flawlessly.

Just seen about contact cleaner, where do you get it please. Maybe I need it. I only get 24 hrs out of my P800 original battery if I don't use the phone ! Have had the phone 3 months. Have just bought new battery from mobilefun £38 - yuk.
