Changing the Battery switch of Voltage ?

[Dimlow_uk]

Ok i am using the p3300 as a covert tracker and have installed a large external LI-PO battery, not the LI-ION that is normally used in the phone.

Because the li-poly battery can be discharged to a lower voltage before it is considered low battery, than a li-ion battery, id like to be able to set the switch off voltage level to be lower, before the unit switches off. so that a can fully use the power in the battery. As it stands with the large battery (8800 Mah 4 2200 Mah cells in parallel) windows is shutting the unit down before the battery is discharged. I think this is around 3.6 volts , but the LI-Poly battery can be discharge to around 3v under load before its considered flat. and im only using around 60% of the batterys power like this.

Is there any way to change this in the registry, so that i can fully discharge the battery and get a longer life out of it. I'm sure i read something like this on here a year or so ago, but i cant find any info now.

Very interesting post. I'm not sure if you can modify that value in the registry but I'll try to dig on it and let you know if I find something.

I'm using a CECT W800 which is a clone of HTC P3300 and have a problem with the battery when using it as GPS on the car. To be more exact the battery gets depleted even with the charger on in about 2 hours or so. I thought about trying to replace the battery with a more powerful one (even if I would have to put it outside of it) but got stuck when I found out that it needs to be a compatible battery in terms of communication protocol. Do you know more about this? Can you please give me some details or hints?

Thanks.
