Holy Cow!!! My Battery Lasts Forever!!!

Guys,

I noted before, that I got my refurbished lifedrive for $250 at staples. They replaced the battery and screen, and did a full system detail. Well I found out today(the day after getting my ld), that they installed a 5000mah battery instead of the standard 1600. I can operate on wifi for 15hours SRAIGHT. I tested it out. I sat and operate the wifi, bt, blazer, ptunes, full contrast, and filled up my 3.85GB(I was trying to spin the disc). I was able to pull this off for 9 hours!!!! Whooohooo!!!!!!! This has been the greatest purchase I've ever made.l

Wow!
Jesse

If its true, I wonder how they stuffed it in, since larger capacity batteries are usually larger in size

Theoretically possible, but highly unlikely. There are Axim batteries that go that high I believe, but still, thats a stretch...

guys,
if you'll show me how you pop the thing open without harming it, I'll take a nice hirez picture for you. the reason I found out, was I tried registering it on the palm website, and it sent me an email telling me about the 100 or so like-equiped pdas that were produced as prototypes and distributed.

Anyway, tell me how I open her up, and I'll SHOW you.

OMFG!!! You'd be my hero as well. Please let this battery be slim enough to fit in an EB40 or TX. **Crosses fingers** I hope this isn't a hoax.

not sure about it fitting in the LD, but I can change this
battery (11.1v 1800 mAh) to: 3.7v 5400 mAh.
it wouldn't be very hard. and it is plenty small.
