Max battery upgrade

#1 Post by Romeo » Sun May 22, 2005 2:27 am

Hello,

I have A30 with half dead battery and I consider to open it and replace cells. Is it possible to replace original cells rated at 733mAh with say 2000mAh ? Would it be possible to chagre them with original AC adapter ?


thanx

LiON batteries can explode when exposed to air & water. Save yourself a trip to the hospital and/or Darwin Award listing and just buy a new battery. :shock:

Isn't true that battery consist of several cells ??? In my case 6 cells...

I do not want to open cells !!! Just the battery.

I think what people mean is that LiIon is a VERY unstable type of component. Its only the fact that there are microchips managing their voltage etc that allows them to be usable. The reality of the downside isn't a dead battery or unworking unit, its fire and or explosion. So if you want to save $30-50 bucks in life, this is not the place to do it.
