tool to test battery?

[holzzelt]

hey is there a tool or software with which i can check if my battery is broken or if it has full capacity? my battery lasts only 2 days, this sucks!

if i use a 1600 mah battery, will the percentage be displayed correctly? or can the tytn only handle 1350 battery and i have to take the 1600 out and put it back in?

two days is not bad. mine wouldnt last more than 24 hours due to the way is use it. i have bluetooth on all the time, wifi on nearly all day and my display is set to the brightest mode and i turn it on very often. i dont expect the battery to last longer than 24 hours.

its a agood habit to keep pumping electricity into it every now and then

Yeah, I need to charge every night. It's not the battery per se, it's just the Tilt/Kaiser uses a lot of power, especially if you check email often, use BT and wifi a lot (GPS too eats up power). I don't use push mail at all, so that helps stretch the battery (I just manually check my mail periodically throughout the day).

I think many people would say if you are getting 2 days on a full charge, that is great!

Personally, I just got a second charger for my desk at work, and have a car charger in the glove box. If I know I'm going to be away from those for a lengthy period (weekends say) I have a AA battery powered emergency charger (from pocketsolutions.com) I can take with me.
