Title: Battery for Huawei Ascend P6 is compatible with Cosmo Communicator
Post by: daffyduck on February 03, 2024, 01:01:45 pm

Hello, I just want to make known that batteries for the Huawei Ascend P6 can be used in the Cosmo Communicator.
See explanations and photos on https://electronicsera.eu/2024/01/04/hello-world/
If you try this, let me know your experience.

Thank you, thank you. I just bought two and posted on your cited link, asking him for a little more into about cutting the "little plastic tooth."

So weird, though, that these batteries don't work in the Gem, even if the Gem and Cosmo share the same stock battery.

Really appreciate your post.

Jake

Whelp, the news about these batteries is good and bad. Both batteries listed below will run both Cosmo and Gemini for 3-5 hours, depending on use. A battery that has this lettering:

works with my Gemini, both running and charging.

And battery that has this lettering:

successfully runs in the Cosmo, but won't charge (nor will the first-listed battery charge in the Cosmo). My results are the opposite of Davide's (blogger in first thread post). Though he doesn't own the first-listed battery, he can get the second-listed battery to run/charge in his Cosmo, but he can't get it to charge in his Gemini.

At first, I thought my Cosmo's charging was broken, but it can still charge the original battery, so I'm very confused. I made sure to buy Davide's battery lettering for the Cosmo, but no go.

Since I no longer use PC devices for anything except wifi-ed Gemian, I'm at least glad to have the Gemini up and running, and for a nominal fee.
