Connect the charger without battery

[amaric]

Is it possible to connect charger without battery so that i can use device all day and avoid over-charge or possible battery damage?

Beautiful just Beautiful :):):):confused:
Guys i have another one for all of you
"Is there a way that i can use my Phone without connection so that i will have no bill charges ?"

Batteries in Tornado can (even should) be charged often ;) Don't worry about it

[djsleepwalker]

Yeah, over-charging is no problem. It'll stop charging when it's full.

This does raise an interesting question, one I haven't really bothered to try but have just now become curious about. Can you plug the phone into the wall, sans battery, and use the phone still? Or will it only function, plugged in or not, with the battery installed?

[nazgul06]

Phone turns off when you get battery out :/

LOL, I just tried that last night, and... ohh Noo it don't even turn the power light on w/o a battery... so @Amaric: Keep charging it!

I am aware that phone is not working if you take out the battery and connect it to a charger. I was wondering if there is some kind of a workaround.

My plan was to have phone switched on for months with wireles ON too. That just can't be good for battery and it could even be dangerous.

Do these tests, and post results :p

Turn off power savings on Wi-Fi and leave phone ON, doing something over the internet, just idling, so that the LCD is off. Say for example: acting as router.

Conditions:
1. Phone w/full battery -
2. Phone charging w/full battery -

How long did he battery last? How did the phone temperature change? What would you guess would happen in 48hrs of usage?

EDIT: My experience with Wi-Fi is that it drains more power than the charger output. Temperature raises substantianlly w/o LCD, gets extreamly hot w/LCD on. So what would be the options?

when im booting linux and the phone is charging you can take the battery out but the phone will still be on nice:D:D:rolleyes:

Is this a joke? If not, then some change to a software (OS) could do the trick.

my opinion? If it does stay on after removing the battery, then it'll do the same if you have the phone on while running Windows, and charging and remove the battery. Battery charging is not handled by OS, its handled by Hardware.

My experience with Wi-Fi is that it drains more power than the charger output. Does anyone else think this is true? I think it would be unlikely that having the screen off but wifi on would use more power than the wall adapter provides.

I suspect that you could jumper the battery connections to mimic a full battery, but I am not going to try.

I think you can put resistors to mimic the internal resistance of a battery, but I wouldn't recommend it. If anything goes wrong you might burn out the charging/power control circuit which probably would turn your phone to a brick.

Oh, and the whether it charges when plugged in and using WiFi depends on your charger. I've got a 6V 2.4A (15W) charger for my phone, good luck using up all that juice with a Tornado. That thing easily charges my TyTN with HSDPA (3G), WiFi, Bluetooth and screen active.
15W is more or less what my laptop uses under normal load :)
