Most PDA's have the same battery life of around about 6 hours at full usage. Less if your using GPS.

You might also want to look at these models as we can get you spare batteries for them.

You would be able to load anquet on either of these.

Or maybe you could get your choice of pda and one of these and not bother about battery life.

(Sry, Martin.. I seem to be steping on a couple of your replies. )

That looks very interesting indeed,, so basically it's a hoover for the battery, disolving the redundancy and clearing the power flow.

I notice that usage recommends approx 80% of the aluminium battery contact to be in contact with the patch..

Would this require the removal of the manufacture stickers on the battery for optimal use? and is it definately of use with an O2 xda IIs?

Thx.

Or get a proporta charger!

I'm eying one for my N95, then getting the adaptor lead for my ipaq.

I am considering going down this same route. I see on EBAY, from SuperGPS ( I have no connection with them), there are replacement batteries for the P550 of 1700mah compared to the supplied 1200mah. On the face of it one would get 40% more operating time.
Any comments, anyone tried the higher capacity battery?
