Battery Questions

Let's kick that dead horse.....

My Pu16a battery dies at 39%. Tried the piece of tape thing, and the freezer thing (days apart) and it still cuts off at 39%.

So I fired up the 3200 mah extended battery that came with it (bought it from the marketplace here) and it won't charge above 40% most of the time. I can leave it plugged into my PC for 8 hrs overnight, or to my wall charger (not the OEM) and some times it will charge up to 56%, but 9 out of 10 days, it stops charging at %40. I even tried the tape thing with that battery too... no go.


SO I'm looking into purchasing a new battery(s) off the ebay internet machine, and was curious if anyone had experience with the 1750mah batteries that are supposed to be the same size as the pu16a battery. Check it out here

Recomend a good quality battery from a particular seller (or alternate source)?

I buyed the original battery from member duke nukem, he was a good seller and I´m quite happy with it
Adding a bigger battery to our big Universal is not an option for me, I prefer to carry a spare one on my bag.

thx orb. but it looks like they aren't really doing any business anymore (no items up for sale)

My pc (crappy celeron emachine, salvaged and resuscitated power surge victim) ends up haveing problems (usb mouse stays lit, but doens't respond) when I leave the phone plugged into USB for too long. Almost sounds like my phone is trying to draw more current than the usb port(s) can put out (mouse and printer are the only other usb items plugged in), as well as the Motorola Razr charger I have to use. Any thoughts on that?

Are you sure that duke nukem does not have them?
I remember seeing a post from him not too much time ago regarding Uni batteries
Have you contacted?

[interestingfellow]

is he on this forum? I just checked and didn't find him here. I also checked ebay and he didn't have anything in his store...

Hello

I buyed a lot batteries for me and my universal owner's friends from ebay, sometimes 1750mAh but sometimes normal 1620. I never payed more than 8 € shipping cost includded for each. And almost all works fine. I think one new battery a year is acceptable. I love my old universal, and I carry with 3 more batteries in my bag.

From hong kong, china or japan, the batteries take about one month to reach my house.

By!
