So you've never gotten the battery improvements with the upgrades? That's a real pity. I guess you could bring it up to Tech Support, but if I were you, I don't know if I could bear parting with my iLiad unless it's actually not working at all (which is what happened to me). I guess you've made sure that the config is set for minimum consumption, right? No automatic connections going on and so forth?

Those 5 hours are enough of a batterylife for the kind of use I make of my Iliad. I guess the frequent on/off switching that I do has influenced the batterylife over the past months. I have all heehaws, doodahs, whistles and bells switched off. As I am writing this I realise that I have never tried the 5 times load to full and then use to complete empty method recently described as a battery reviver by -I think- Karel in the Iliad forum over at Irex. Must give that a try some day. |

Hmm I have the same issue, about 5 hours is what i get.
And no wifi on and nothing. The ipdf with battery saving seems not do much..just 1 hour maximal it seems. to push to 6 hrs. |

When I had 5 hours, I was also happy enough with it, since I usually read at home, I just plug in when it needs it, and carry on reading while it charges.
![]() Isn't the five times business to be done when new? Anyway, if you go in for the extended battery offer, that should fix it. |

The question is where/how do I enter in the extended battery offer system method?

Why is nobody answering this question?
I see people mentioning battery upgrade for older ilads. But where do you apply for that? I guess I will mail tech support. Pfffff |

Sorry, I expected one of the iLiaddites to answer before now. I don't have an iLiad, but I believe the battery upgrade is still a future thing, that's why you're not finding out how to apply for it yet.
Sorry for the lapse. ![]() |

@DeGodefroi
You can place your battery replacement request at: http://www.irextechnologies.com/supp...ry_replacement. There were was a lot of talk about it at Irex forum, so maybe all people assumed that you have found it there. ![]() |

Thnx!
Will check this out. edit: yup filled it in. I am amazed that Irex did not allow a way to replace batteries and even offer spare batteries. How hard would that be? But I love this device, it is wonderful...just needs some minor fixes. Last edited by DeGodefroi; 07-03-2007 at 05:35 AM. |

Well, I'm glad to be wrong, apparently.

Just got my Iliad, happy using it! I've got one little problem though, I can't get Mobipocket to recognize my Iliad. The only way I can upload things now is through the SD-card I use. Am using Windows XP by the way. Have some suggestions maybe?? Thnx!

Have you downloaded the very latest version of Mobipocket? Have you updated your iLiad to the most recent firmware?

Have installed all new versions, still no response. It also isn't a problem with my usb-drive, works perfectly with all other devices I have. Very strange..
Am going to do a total re-install soon, maybe after that it works magically ![]() |
