Using an Extended battery for a Droid Telephone

By Peter Williams


Smart telephones such as the HTC Droid Incredible and the Motorola Droid X are superb pieces of technology. They allow us to not only mobile phone folk on the move, but also stay totally connected. We can send emails, check out calendar or even surf the web. There is however one major inability with Smart telephones, and that is the batteries simply don't last long. This can however be cleared up without trouble using an extended battery.

What is an Extended Battery?

An Extended battery is a special kind of battery which can contain more power than the one supplied with the phone. These have been available for phones for some time, but as smart telephones are so demanding many of them already shipped with the highest capacity batteries currently available.

Comparing Batteries

If you take the battery out of your smartphone you'll notice 1 or 2 numbers on it. The Volts, and Amps the battery supplies. You should also notice a mAh figure. This stands for Milliamp hours and essentially is related to how much power the battery can store.

The bigger the mAh rating, the longer the battery will last for. So you should spend some time selecting a battery that has as high a rating as practicable. This could ensure that it will last for much longer.

Ways to Select a Good High Capacity Battery

It's crucial to note that not all extended batteries are the same. While many of them will be the same size as the stock battery, one or two will be bigger. This would mean that the existing back of the telephone won't fit on. In this case a new back is usually supplied with the battery and it'll add a slight bulge to the back of the telephone.

If you can't live with this then ensure that the additional life battery you choose is the same size as the real battery for your telephone, just with a higher rating.

Fitting the Extended Battery

The high capacity battery should look just about the same as your original battery, while it will often be lacking the official manufacturers name as many of these are cloned batteries. Fitting it should be as simple as removing the old battery and replace the new one. If you need a new back then this will also have to be established.

Charging

Your new high capacity battery can be charged in exactly the same way as normal. Simply plug your phone into charge and the new battery will be charged until it is full. This may normally take more time than the stock battery which came with the phone. However , it should also provide much more power when it is totally charged.

An extended battery can be a extremely handy way of making absolutely certain that your telephone does not run out of juice when you actually need to use it. This can change a fairly handy telephone into a very handy and trusty telephone.
