Double A Replacements
After seeing the price of the replacment batteries for the X50v, I was wondering, is there anyway I could use double A Alkanine batteries to power my Pocket PC? I know it may be impractical but I just want to know if there is anyway to use convential batteries for power.

Welcome to Aximsite!

You can use battery extenders. There are quite a few threads about them here if you do a quick search.

As an example, here is one on Ebay:

Hello and Welcome.

Quick math would indicate that using AA batteries, even rechargeable would not be cheaper, and don't forget that battery extenders are one more thing to carry around. Look at what Lion Battery's offering. A great replacement battery at a great price.

You'll need some rechargeables too to make tje alkaine hack work I think.

I can guarantee Rechargables work.
