Re: Wall charger for BP-4L (N810 Battery)?

This was my problem also.

My Mugen battery fit quite snugly so I didn't think a shim would make any difference. But when a replacement failed the same way, I added a couple of thicknesses of...

Re: Nokia N810 Battery Life

My 810 is less than a year and a half old, and I've already had to replace the battery. Probably you need to do the same.
