NX70v - Full battery at 4.20v ?

[DeadFish]

I just downloaded an app for checking the status of my battery.. with more details. It says my battery is fully charged at 4.20v, a warning level at 3.75v and critical level at 3.70v the battery type is Lithium.


Is it time to replace this battery I thought it should/wold say 5.7 or 5. whatever instead of just 4.20v.


comments?

My NR70v, which is cross-compatible with the NX's battery got about 4.24 when it was new, so your nubmer soudns about right.

So by looking at volts, you can tell how good your Clie's battery is?

[cbulock]

4.20 volts is the maximum capacity of the battery on the NX70, so everything is fine.

I don't think that volts in general is a very good method to check how good a battery is. It seems that Li-Ion batteries will charge to the full voltage even when they are losing their full capacity. They just don't hold that voltage near as long. Meaning, a strong battery will stay at or near it's full voltage long into use, while a weak battery will fully charge, but then drop off fairly quickly. That's just what I've observered from other devices and not sure if it's true with all batteries.

I believe that if a Li-Ion battery loses over 30% of its original capacity, its will charge to less than the rated voltage (4.2V) because normally the voltage will start to drop after it has less than 70% charge (the overcharge range). If it can recharge to less than that, the voltage will probably drop right away.

 :pHahahahaha nice one prozak, no offence to deadfish, but have you ever considered looking inside a physics book? :rolleyes:

[DeadFish]

Well, I would just like to say that you interpreted "v" as volts...
I was just reading what this POS freeware app stated.

:rolleyes:

[kliro]

Ummmm what else would you suggest it is then :rolleyes:  lol

I'm confused by this statement. 'v' is volts.

[DeadFish]

nerds. :rolleyes:

[kliro]

Wah?? if your term of nerd is someone who can notice that V stands for volts when concerning a battery then shame on you sir...........shame on you:(

[DeadFish]

No I could figure that out. I dont need someone telling me to get a physics book over it. so please just STFU and lock this thread. :mad:

Umm i think this is called contradiction, might find that in an English book;)

But looking into a physics book might really help to understand how a Battery works and what voltage you can expect of a Li-Ion one - no offense, just the truth.

And as others already said, 4.20V is the standard Voltage you can get out of a fully loaded NX70V battery.
