Hi all,
I've been looking into expanding the limited battery life of my iPAQ and looked through some commercially available products out there.
I'm heading to downtown RadioShack (the one near my house went out of stock
) to buy this which will up to recharge 4x NiMH and also serve as a DC power source.
According to this article, each NiMH battery (AA, I think) supplies 1100~2300 mAh.
According to the iPAQ specs at Compaq, my iPAQ's Li Polymer battery capacity is only 950 mAh.
Now, I am puzzled why Compaq chose to do this. Doesn't it make more sense to go with NiMH as iPAQ's main battery and perhaps make it AA replaceable?
So what are some possible reasons that Compaq (and other PocketPC manufacturers) chose to do this?
