Hopefully I'll be able to report on a couple of possibilities in the next day or two:- I've found a USB to 9v cable intended for an Archos Jukebox, which I'll be trying with a 5v 3600mAH external battery- I've also ordered a 4000mAH battery which can output to 9vWhen I've tried them, I'll post...
Battery replacement? Why not a portable charger? :)
Hello there, I just came up with the idea, why a better battery inside the tablet... if we can charge it again ang again and again with an external charger. I mean, something portable that connected to a tablet will charge it and give 2,10 times more battery power (using bigger batteries without mod the tablet). Does anyone know who to make one and will help with a tutorial? What you think?Sorry for my bad english

[quote author=hilltopper06 link=topic=253.msg2138#msg2138 date=1274828939]I see your point, but then you have to carry around an extra charging device (battery powered charger if I understand you correctly). I would prefer a much improved battery life with the current battery (which is possible once a proper sleep mode is implemented through updated ROMs).[/quote]Yeah, anyway is hard to find a battery that fits on the device without making a custom case.. I think is better to carry an extra charger than changing internal things in the device and soldering others (most people come here looking for improvements they can easy do). Again is just an idea, maybe someone who knows more about this can give us a hand

The cable between the battery and the Eken Could be a bit longer though its only 250mm. One other point the battery I ordered was 39w one but the one I got has a sticker suggesting it holds 48w
