There is some questions that i need to know, when the "Battery Graph" analysis of my treo 600 battery.
Sometimes charge is shown as to 100%, but the voltage of the battery is still far away from being reached. I think that we must to continue with the charge of the battery to the maximum limit of voltage, to be reached.
When we see the charge mark 100%, with the voltage to the turn of 4000 mv, actually I think that the true charge should locate about 80/90% and this can explain the abrupt load descent in little time of use of some users of the tre600. Solution: to continue the carge until an voltage close of the maximum limit(in my treo, 4170 mv).
About the battery charging, it is another thing. In my case, charging is very slow, about 2% for hour, in spite of Palmone tell us about 3 hours. Will be a problem of the european voltage(220 volts)? Actually, to get a complete charging, from 50 to 100%, I should charging for 12 hours at least, what is little reasonable.
The diods never work fine, they alternate the green with the red, the indicative green diod(complete) never appears, instead of that it is the red diod that appears, as if the battery was still need to be charge. The pda/smartphone seems excellent, as a pda or a telephone, but these problems of the battery charging(intermitent and long; faulty diods)they are intriguing.
