Default battery question

wondering, last night i forgot to charge the Universal, this morning it was off.

Plugged in the mains and booted the universal, all fine. Then i checked battery status and it was charching nicely.

Now my question, never checked it out and couldn't find anything in the forum so i am wondering :

is there no backup battery? it does not show in my battery settings. if it is not there is the universal the first one without? LOL

or does it show the backup battery only after the main removable battery is fully charged?

I also noticed it retained all my settings etc, my qtek s100 would have resetted already??

there is no backup battery, the ram isnt volitile anymore its persistant, hence, no need for backup.

Default EXEC backup battery

I have just purchased a XDA EXEC on an O2 contract and in one of the instruction books supplied it mentions that there is both a lithium battery (the normal phone battery) and a NiMH button cell inside?
I have not seen any indication of this battery on the system information on the phone itself.

The switch you flick to get the battery out on this and the previous XDA's activated the backup battery on the XDA2, 2i and 2s.

Perhaps we have the same switch but no backup battery inside?

There is no backup battery, cause the Universal doesn't need it. *period*!

It's a new concept with persistent memory. No need for a backup battery (which will last only a limited time), cause memory content is save. It's just flash memory as in the sd-cards, which don't need any battery, too! :shock:

So no backup battery in Universal is an advantage not any disadvantage! :shock:

Got it now?
