 External Battery Hello to you all, I’m going on holiday soon, and the coach journey is about 13 hours. I don’t think my iPAQ 2100 can cope with one battery. I heard that somewhere on the internet you can get an external battery which can connect to the bottom of the iPAQ. I was just wondering if any of you have seen or heard anything to do with that. If any of you have can you pleases tell me where as i have just recently purchased a 1G SD card with all my music on it.
Thanks |

Yes, you would use the little adapter that comes with the iPaq that attaches to the Sync port on the bottom of the iPaq. Or, you can buy a second one to dedicate just for the battery box. I do not know any specific web sites located in the U.K. that sell this item, or a similar item. Here is a link to a company located in London that specializes in iPaq Parts and repairs. They might be able to help you find a similar item.
http://www.ipaqrepair.co.uk/ Here in the states we have a company called Radio Shack that sells electrical components. A few years ago there was a Build-It-Yourself version of that battery box going around all of the iPaq sites. Only need a battery box, some wires, and a adapter plug, failry cheap items. Just assemble the unit and put in your batteries. If you are handy with a soldering iron you might want to see if you can find these directions on Google. Jack, I knew you had reviewed a battery box recently, but I could not find it. I guess I did not go back far enough when looking for it. That is a nice box. But, they sell direct. They do not list any European distributors. Good Luck, __________________ Reidan Moderator, Dave’s iPAQ Dave’s iPAQ is not affiliated with HP Members Only FAQ Section . Have news? Submit it .

then again You Can simply Upgrade from the Factory batter to a higher mAh battery, Bigger capacity numbers will satisfy your needs for power. either that since youll be in a car Buy a A/C adapter for the cigarette lighter. Find them Cheap on ebay 30 bucks is the going rate for IPAQ battery Upgrades. I was gonna upgrade my 3635 from the factory 800 mAh (kinda shot since it was old) …. to a 1600 mAh battery.
Fresh Extended batteries last about 3 hours with the backlight on too. |
