Use of an Extended battery for a Droid Phone

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 type of battery which can have more power than the one received with the telephone. These have been available for telephones for quite some time, but as smart phones are so demanding a lot of them already delivered with the highest capacity batteries now 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 higher the mAh rating, the longer the battery will last for. So you must spend time choosing a battery which has as high a rating as practical. This may make sure that it'll last for much longer.

How 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 pretty much the same as your original battery, even though it will probably be lacking the official makers name as the majority of these are cloned batteries. Fitting it should be as straightforward as removing the old battery and inserting the new one. If you want a new back then this could also need to be put in place.

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 could be a terribly useful way of ensuring that your phone doesn't run right out of juice when you really need to use it. This can turn a reasonably useful phone into an especially useful and trustworthy phone.
