Worry about xoom's future battery life

[omnia1994]

I m happy with my xoom's battery life now but I am just worrying its battery life will decrease slowly like laptop... we can't buy new batt n replace it since it don't have s battery cover. Any suggestion anyone?

yeah... don't leave it plugged in all the time. Laptop batteries lose their power because ppl leave the battery inside the laptop at all times when it plugged in instead of removing it

Did you search on ifixit.com for their Xoom teardown? If I remember correctly they said it's easily disassembled. Then you might be able to replace the battery if you can find it in stores.

I have no doubt that replacement batteries will be available, and looking at the ifixit.com tear down you could probably have it done in 15 minutes if your good at this kind of stuff.

I agree. Don't store it at 100%, and you'll be fine. Plus, by the time the battery is half as good as it is now, you'll be on your third tablet.

As above, just make sure you don't store it at full charge (100%) for long periods of time, let it run down to like 50-75% and then store it.

LiPo batteries work best when they are kept active above 10%, and not idle for long periods of time above 90% capacity.

And by idle and long periods of time I mean when it's not discharging (as in when it's off).

Just enjoy it and don't worry about when the battery will finally give out! You can cross that bridge if and when you get there.
