I have both a 6000L and C1000 Zaurus, and was checking the battery output with a multimeter. Both batteries seem to have the same 3.7 volt output. Both batteries have 3 contacts, and voltage between the outside contacts are the same. And there is no voltage between the middle contact and either side (probably the middle contact is for charging [?] the battery). So I was thinking about fabricating a battery case that fits the 6000's battery compartment (except it will stick out about a 1/4" from the back to accomodate the thicker battery in the C1000). Then I propose to make some copper or brass contacts that are soldered to wires and to contacts on the other end. Then put the EA-BL08 battery in this box, with the contacts polarity matched up properly, and see if the 6000 can use the C1000's battery.
If it can, then I will have a 2000 mAh battery in the 6000 instead of a 1500 mAh battery. Also EA-BL08 batteries can be purchased much more cheaply than EA-BL09s. The only thing I am not sure about is that the EA-BL09 says it is lithium polymer at the top, and lithium ion at the bottom of the same battery. (Not sure how it can be both?) The EA-BL08 is just labeled lithium ion. Those of you who know about electronics see any obvious flaws with this plan? This shouldn't blow up my Zaurus should it? |

I gave up on my original idea (the AA battery holder with only 3 of the battery slots used), in favor of using the C1000 battery in my battery box. Do you think the built-in charging circuit can handle that?

Do you think the built-in charging circuit can handle that? I think that yes. Trisoft sells battery chargers for older models and say, that they are compatible with new batteries after small mechanical modification. Maybe other Li-Ion/Li-Pol batteries may work as well. |
