Default Re: Battery With Big Red Cross On It

Sounds like one of those nock off batteries floating around. RIM created smart batteries that are coded with OEM stuff. Nock offs require you to copy this code to the off brand battery they sell. If the nock off goes dead it looses the code from the genuine battery.
Also, that battery and phone are meant for each other.
I tested 2 9800 in my office with 5 of the nock offs.
I have to first use the OEM battery in the phone. Shut it off, do the clone then put it in the BB. It works great. take that same battery and use it in another 9800 and doesnt work. Then go back to the original one and its not working either. I have to start the process all over again.
RIM got smart and started to make smart battereis. We will se more of this in the future. BUT it might back fire if enough people get ticked off at the prices of the batteries or have other issues.

But as to your problem. i can only guess its related.
Not sure if you have OEM batteries or not.
