HighTymes · 06-13-04, 01:47 AM

Thought those who are interested in a extended battery you could see the battery life one would get with it on the new X30 High, so here we go. I did 4 tests on it, video playback, MP3 playback, constant WiFi use and WiFi stand by test.

Video PlayBack Test Results
(CPU set to 208mhz, backlight 3 up from off, sound at mid low playing through headphones, wifi off)

Video Source: Divx Matrix trailer @ 320x240, 512kb/sec bitrate. CPU was set to 208mhz because video played with <10FPS loss everytime it played.

90%- 33min
80%- 1hr 6min
70%- 1hr 42min
60%- 2hr 30min
50%- 3hr 22min

Does this battery stick out or does it fit flush like the standard one?

HighTymes · 06-13-04, 03:01 AM

No problem bigds63. I don't mind doing it at all.

^^^^Sticks out the back but it hardly if at all touches the palm of my hand. It just kinda fills in the gap you have when you hold the x30 in your hand.

will it fit in the aluminum cases?

HighTymes · 06-13-04, 03:15 AM

Not sure, i don't have one but if you have a case that is a tight fit with the standard battery in it then this one won't fit.

HighTymes,

thx so much for dedicating ur time to test out the extended battery for us (and fr yourself)

now thats ALOT of surfing time on a PDA, i imagine its longer on an x30 mid ;)

$49?

HighTymes · 06-13-04, 03:43 AM

Yep, only $49 for it :)

I am not sure if it will last longer on the X30 mid as during the testing even when on auto i didn't see it go pass 208mhz as it wasn't needed. What is the power save mhz for the mid?

Levon · 06-13-04, 03:48 AM

same - 208mhz...

REALLY nice battery time...

Good info! Can you run the tests with wifi power management off?

HighTymes · 06-13-04, 02:11 PM

^^^Which one? The constant wifi use test? Won't be able to until tuesday if thats the one you want.
