Dear hx4700 power users on this site. I hope to hear from all of your comment and suggestions about this article. Please help me.

I am using hx4700 with wm6.0 (kozhura version). This combination works pretty well.

I purchased the item below from the web site of http://www.cases.com/.

InnoPocket Metal Deluxe Case Extended Battery Fit + Energy Leaf Extended Battery 3600mAh for hp iPaq hx4700 Series $54.00

I replaced my previous battery (default one) to the extended battery that I purchased from the web site.
When I replaced it for the first time, the extended battery had only the rest of 20 % . So I re-charged it by using a hx4700's AC charger and the battery was re-charged up to 100% . It seemed to work correctly with my hx4700.

After I used my hx4700 with the battery for several hours, I removed he battery from my hx4700 once. At that time the battery still had the rest of 70%.

After 1-2hours later, I attached the battery again. But my hx4700 warned me that the battery didn't have enough rest for proper operation. I tried to re-charge the battery by using the AC charger again. but after half-day later, the battery was not re-charged and the battery indicator still showed 0 % even though the orange LED stopped its blinking and keeping lighting.

Since this time, I haven't been able to use the exteded battery with my hx4700. I can say that I didn't use it incorrectly.
I expected to watch movie files on my hx4700 for long time by using this battery. But my expectaton has not been realized yet. I was really disappointed.

Hola

Yo tuve ese problema y la única solución es reinstalar la ROM ya sea haciendo un upgrade de WM2003SE a WM5 o WM6 o un downgrade de WM5 o WM6 a WM2003SE (en cualquier caso con la batería dañada puesta en el iPAQ) :) . Lo malo es que es un problema recurrente :mad: y un tiempo después volvera inexplicablemente a 0% de carga :confused: . Le aconsejo cambiarla con cases.com a través del servicio de garantía o comprar la batería de 3600 mAh original de HP que funciona perfectamente y le da hasta 6 horas continuas de uso. Yo la estoy utilizando hace año y medio sin problema :cool: .

I just purchased a new extended battery for my IPAQ 2755, which came with a new cover for the larger battery. To give you the short story: I had to (1) put a few layers of tape on the interlock post located on the lower right hand side of the new cover to keep the interlock closed, and (2) put several layers of tape on the left side of the battery (the side opposite the terminals) to obtain a tight fit for the battery.
Hope this helps.
