lol agreed and I think a new battery mod is in order if this is true and the dimensions work out.

It will mean the VZ90 doesn't have the best battery life...

Well if we're talking stock battery life the TH and VZ still are the best, BUT!

If this is true, then we could probably find similar things for TH55's and VZ90's. That kind of capacity combined with the low power-drain of the HHE Clie's would mean you wouldn't have to charge for *months*!!!

However, I am still quite skeptical - AFAIK there is no way you can make a 5Ah LiPoly battery that small - The smallest battery that I have anywhere near that capacity that has roughly the same foot-print is 3 times the thickness of my T665's PDA battery!
And I don't want to junglemike my TH55 thankyou

The largest Axim Battery that's "available" (ie I've seen reviews, but haven't seen any for sale anywhere) is a Mugen 3300 mah. It requires a new battery door that doubles the width of the Axim, and can't be charged in a standard Axim dock/charger. 5Ah is highly unlikely.

5000 mAh can be done. In order to charge the battery using the method I mentioned in my previous post, you need a special charger. Or you need some special wiring. I talked to an Electronic engineer about it, and he said it can be done the way I said in my other post.

ok, less talk and some proof, so that non-hands-on pansies like me can start drooling over it!

here is your proof that it can be done: info on Lithium Polymer , if you know what you are doing.
I can't prove that he does have a pda with a battery like that, just that the battery can be made.

I agree with SoS, this is a silly thread.

Sure it can be done: http://www.caplamp.org/battery/5Ah_li-ion_battery.jpg

Yeah right, you talked to an Electrical Engineer and he told you that yes, there are 3.7v 5Ah batteries. No, there are no batteries of that capacity that come anywhere near being able to fit in an LD case. Oh, unless he was talking about magic batteries. That might work.

BTW, you don't need a special charger or wires for this battery, you need a lot of time is all.

Here's a link to a Li-Poly 3.7v 5.5Ah battery. Still too big for a PDA. http://www.all-battery.com/index.as...PROD&ProdID=475

li-poly does require a more intelligent charger.
