Make BA Battery Life Longer

[akauts]

Tip I found when my BA Battery Level felt down crazily.
So i did a stupid reseach (simple but work!) and thanks god its succeded...

1. You Must Have a * Screwdriver
2. Make sure you donot need any Vibrate on your BA
3. Open the case carefuly and remove the Vibrator (DC Motor)
4. Screw back the case and lets Discharge your Battery to 1-5%
5. Re Charge Battery to 100% and Test it!

Its work on my BA... even the Battery Life take Longer.....
Good Luck

Wouldn't it be easier to just go in and turn off the vibrate function?

This is just a share-experience, itsn't a new innovation or BA-Hardware Bug.
i'm not sure true or false (im not the expert), i thought the function turn-off (by software), but electronicaly the hardware still connected and consumed battery power either its low or tiny...

tried to a friend who had some problem (battery drained so fast), its success...

[starik]

that's pretty extreme ...

i bought on ebay 2400mAh extended battery...huge difference compared to stock battery...

i can do continuous internet (wifi) usage plus screen on full brightness for 8 hrs non stop!

usually, i recharge every 2-3 days. i don't use bluetooth but yes, damn bluetooth quickly deplets even this battery.

and this battery cost like 30 bucks...

halo .... mau tanya... trik ini juga berlaku buat universal nggak ??

[naack]

draining th ebattery completely and fully charging it back up again does give th ebatt a kick again. u don thave to remove the motor.

It's strange, but it's works!

Tomorrow I opened my PDA2K to solve problem with loosing stylus. I've plugged off Vibrator connector. I didn't charge device till this time. About 28 hours has left and I have 70% main battarie power! About 5 minutes of calling and 2 hour of reading, ets..

bisa dipakai di semua product HTC
applicable for all HTC's product (might be this is a bug)

is this really true? I just can't believe it.

There is no need to cripple your phone.
look:

The standard battery has 1500mAh, but there are also 2400mAh batteries available. Standard battery goes for US$48, whereas teh extended battery goes for US$ 55. Get yourself one of these for xmas and stop worrying.

To bad those extended batteries are slightly thicker then the standard ones. As a result our BA doesn't fit in the cradle anymore.

So, the extra battery is really only an option if you use the travel cable to sync/charge rather then the cradle

The other thing no one seems to mention is that over tme the batterys naturally degrade alittle, so that just buying a new standard battery will last longer then an old one. Also doing the complete de-charge and recharge thing helps, it's not so bad with the battery types the BA uses but the Ni-Cad batterys where well known for having to be decharged.

Although the BA sits a little bent forward, is fits in my cradle without problem. You may not want to force the usb connector for fear of breaking it, but in my case it is working for months, I am just careful when I place the BA in it.
Buying a travel sync cable is a good option too :)

I'm not so sure that is correct. That was the standard advice for NiCad based batteries, with had a phenomenum known as "memory effect". Partially recharging the battery and recharging it was bad for them and a "full cycle" charge was an easy way to get some more life out of them.

The phones use L-ion batteries, which supposedly don't have any memory effect. I recall reading once that doing a full discharge is actually bad for them.

I agree with you bro!
My Hima battery is still going strong after 3 years with my habit of topping it to full charge at least 3x a day: in the car, in office PC USB port & at home in the evening.

USB port charging without the adapter connected is highly advisable since it simply "trikle-charge" the battery without the strain of higher current applied by the AC adapter.

I'm applying the same principles to my BA.
