I saw this and I can't believe that this was pure random and that Mickey and the other doesn't know that the battery is compatible to an nokia one - but FIC must ask a component supplier for a battery and this offerend a BL5C compatible one... :))) I took an unsharp picture while Mickey plug in this battery into the Neo: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Image:Neo1973-with-BL5C-battery.png This is a very good news - I think everybody feared like me to have a non populare battery inside the Neo. ;)))) When I saw it correctly, the BL5C compatible battery was about 2 mm thinner than the Neo1973 ones. > BL-5C gives even more hits on ebay.

It's not only about the capacity when the accu is new, remember Jim's OLPC presentation - how many recharging cycles will the accu "survive". I found accus with an 3600mAh sticker on it: http://reklamninoviny.aukro.cz/item166314553_3600mah_polymer_2600_3100_6030_6230_6630_bl_5c.html http://aukcjewp.wp.pl/show_item.php?item=168403226 http://www.apexbattery.com/nokia-5-6-7100-series-3600mah-lith-vibe-cell-phone-lithium-batteries.html 3800mAh: http://aukcja.onet.pl/show_item.php?item=166249773 3800mAh @ 3/4" http://gallery.bcentral.com/GID4864400P1639655-Cellular/NOKIA/Batteries/CPNK-6110XL-3800mAh-Lithium-Ion-battery-pack-for-Nokia.aspx but the question is if it has it also in real live or only the sticker on that. 1900mAH could be realistic, but 3600mAh??? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_ion_polymer_battery Says LiPo accus could have up to 130-200 Wh/kg.... Here is a polnish forum about the allegro offeres: http://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic656979.html (I can't understand it but Li-Pol 1600mAh = 9,2mm?) IMHO it would be nice when beside of ebay, we would have a (little more) trustworthy source for higher capacity accus for our neos (without the danger of melting/exploding accus...) What do you think, when - we would have an battery USB-Hub with the same battery format - the USB-Hub is dual use - with BL5C and AA(A) ? - the USB-Hub could work as (second) battery charger - the neo would allows to replace the battery inbetween 10 seconds without reboot Greetings, rob PS: Another good hardwarenews is that it seems that the Neo1973 audio jack is stereo out *and* mono mic in :))) _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
