8800mAH battery for the Universal!!

[FOSA]

What about this 8800mAH (by WINTOP) for the Dopod 900, huh?

Well, I suppose it'll work for all the Universal variants, right?

:lol:

[jah]

Also www.batteryupgrade.com are now selling Exec batteries. Have ordered one will report when I receive it.

Charging an extra battery is going to be a pain :( Hope there's gonna be some 3rd party cradle that allows charging of an extra battery like with the older devices.

Hi guys,


I have the 8800mAH battery and I tell you that its great. My set draws power very rapidly when I turn the phone on, turn WiFi on and have BT turn on as well for BT headest and Stowaway BT mouse


No regrets :D

[FOSA]

I wish they could have made it more than 1750.

[techyphile]

just bought a apre battery from ebay too...cost 15.00 inc P&P. Better than 25.00 ive seen elsewhere.
agree 'bout the cradle though. found a cradle but doesn't have a spare place for charging the battery too.
BTW also beware.... syncing daily with usb cable part charges the batery and will cause memory effect...
use blutooth instead.

Do Lithium Ions sufer from memory effect?

I presume that's hat the battery is?

[JonathanDavey]

No, LiON batterys do not have memory. Unlike NiCad's which do.

General rule for LiON batts is to keep em cooked on charge, rather than flat out for any length of time, deep discharges can create bubbles on the cells apparently!

Although some latops have conflicting LiON advice, stating that you shouldnt leave the batt on mains for more than a week at a time.

In addition there's text in the "newer" manuals for phones and PDAs stating that the LiON batts wont have "full" capability until theyve had a few deep discharge cycles.

So my advice is keep the thing on charge at all times, but dont worry about running it right down from time to time, but be sure to get it back on charge soon after a deep discharge.

I have killed a perfectly good ipaq3630 batt by leaving the device for 6months off charge. Conversly I have no evidence to suggest detrimental performance from my Eten-P700 which is hardl 8) y ever off charge.

Last point, I believe the later devices dont actually full discharge, I suspect they "hard set" off whilst a little juice remains. Unlike the older Ipaqs etc which drain to the last drop (bubble?)

Hello again. How many cycles or at least how long does it extend the built-in battery. This sound very enticing especially on long trips.

[FOSA]

Hi cktlcmd,

Base on calculation its about 5 full charges although I have not counted it since I'll plug the battery into my set whenever I'm out surfing at hotspots

One thing to note is that if you've the phone turn on, bt turn on and wifi also turn on then the power consumption is greater than the external bat can supply since USB DC current supply is much lower than the AC adaptor of 1A DC

You'll see tha battery level drop, however, without the ext battery you cab bet that the battery level will drop faster.

:D

[cktlcmd]

Thanks FOSA. This charger is on my wish list now. :D :D :D

[FOSA]

Hi cktlcmd,


FYI, if you intend to buy this battery do take note that you also have to purchase the intelligent cable (with a built-in chip) unless it comes with the battery. Its a proprietary cable with a proprietary port on one end and a 5-pin mini USB port on the other end to connet to the Universal.

The output port of the battery is NOT a standard USB port.

[belfast-biker]

I have the 8800mAH battery



In truth though, you could hardly describe that as a battery, unless I'm being taken to the wrong page each time?

I'd describe that as more of a battery extender. A good idea nonetheless, I used to use a little 4xAA one with the JAM... good if you're in the arsehole of nowhere...

Hey, wonder if it's pin and power compatible, still got it along with a holder and other accessories...

Which of these cable did you bought together with the battery extender? Is it D13c?

Yes, but it must be for the Universal (ie. Dopod 900/QTEK 9000/JJ/O2 EXEC)

When you order you must specify correctly and clearly.

[FOSA]

OK, here's my 8800mAH external battery pack

[stombacco]

Ok, it's not light but:
1. you can charge separately.
2. long life.
3. can be used also with other divices.
4. high capacity battery for JJ will increease even more the already huge weight.
Therefore, I have to say to be satisfied of the purchase.
Ciao
Stefano :lol:

I'm quite surprised to hear lion does not sufferr from memory effect. I have always had issues with batteries, and even lion batteries do seem to waver after a time, maybe batteries and me don't d well together!!

[hb328_dtdd]

I use my UNIVERSAL BATTERY CHARGER to charge the spare battery.
Charges the EXEC battery PERFECTLY ;)
I still have 2 left if anyone wants to buy one.

I am not doing sales advertisement here so please don't flame me, just thought might be useful to some of you guys who are having the problem charging the spare.

If you need help then e-mail me hb328_dtdd@yahoo.com

Just found this :-

Extended battery 3000mAh out soon

Sounds like it is a bigger beast as it comes with a replacement cover as well.

But nice looking price. £24.99
