Battery life? Early adopters? - Page 6

Mr. Goodbar · 10-15-2008, 02:27 PM

I did this a few weeks ago to my v2 and no problems so far. I actually haven't done a full run time test, but it seems to be in the range already given. I've been using it extensively since I'm on a few weeks of vacation and I haven't seen any issues. One caution is that the connection tabs on the replacement batteries did not line up correctly so I essentially need to solder in a jumper for one of the terminals. If you feel comfortable enough to do the soldering this additional step shouldn't present a problem. There is still room around the batteries for expansion, especially from a thickness standpoint so I wouldn't expect to see any issues with the screen.
