My point being that for more capacity you need to have bigger battery. It's not possible to contain more energy in the same amount of electrolyte. Ate least not for a battery for 11 euro. Leonti I see. I was also wondering about the price of 11 Eur if this battery really should deliver 2300mAh. Never mind, for now I'm fine with my backup BL-C5 to wake my FR from battery-death.

Leonti I was wondering if the FR battery had pretty much hit the limit for modern, affordable battery tech. After searching around for a while myself I've found a variety of other batteries that claim 1300, 1400, or even 1600 mAh in compatible form-factors. But they're all on ebay and I don't trust 'em. Especially with this line in the description - A temporary short capacity of new battery will be resulted from not used for a long time, it is normal, the total capacity will be reinstated via used for 3-5 times. Bad english aside, it sounds like a con. Though for £7.50 it's almost worth a try http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=220343010836 -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Replacement-Battery-with-2300mAh%2C-possible--tp2183925p2186635.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I was hoping I'm wrong, but as everyone thinks the same I'd rather get a second FIC battery. Cheers, Daniel -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

Replacement Battery with 2300mAh, possible?
Hi list, I was search for a more powerful battery and found [1]. It seems this would match in the slot of the FR, but I wanted to make sure if I can apply such a battery without killing the hardware. If I understand right this battery should give me almost doubled uptime, right? Thanks for your comments!

Most likely this will perform worse than the shipped battery. -- :M: ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
