I would like to, but I don't have a sl-6000.
If ther would be someone, who could send me his battery (I'll pay the shipping... and If I would be able to build such batteries, the person 'll get one for free  ) I would try to build it, and you would get your battery back after 2-3 days (like I got it).

Regards

The batteries in the 6000 are integrated into the back panel of the Z, not like the others where the Z has a seperate back panel to conceal the battery. I suspect they'd be fairly hard to build a battery for...

That could be an advantage.  Since there's no "compartment" limitation, extended size batteries could be built.

There's a couple of plastic tabs that would have to be replicated in order for it to snap in correctly, but I don't know if it would be a huge problem.

There are pictures of the battery here.  Maybe Ludwig would let us know if the tab is doable.

OTOH, if there were no other way to get batteries, I would probably be willing to use sticky tape to keep it in place.

Just wanted to let you know I got my battery for my 760 and it works great so far!

It is SOOO nice to actually make my PDA smaller, with more battery life. How many PDA's can actually shrink these days?

I haven't actually done a comparison test to see what the full discharge time is between the original battery and this one is. The truth is that I almost never ran out of power with my original battery. If someone has a suggestion for how to "test" this battery in an at least somewhat scientific way, I will certainly try it. I'm not really sure what app's tax the CPU the most. I don't play MP3's or Videos, mostly just surf the web with BlueTooth and read and write python code.

I bought one of Lauter's batteries via PULSTER.de cause I also wanted a charger.
The lifetime of the batt. is good in my C1000, same or only a bit less my original one.
When you receive the batt., well you get a little shock, it's really ugly looking from the outside...but what counts it works in the Z and the ext. charger is also OK with it.

Sorry Ludwig, you've had the same price as Pulster this time. However a 3000mAH I'd still like to have...

Well, I hate to say it, but this new battery deffinitely does not have the life of my original battery. For the third time now, I have pulled out my Z, only to find it stone cold dead.

I have actually only run the original battery completely dry about two times in the two years I've had it, and both times were due to OS lockup that caused the Z to fail to auto-suspend.

Any suggestions from anyone? I would like to do a more scientific test before trying to return it. Thanks.

That doesn't sound good.
How long does it work, until it was out of energy?

Yes, I have noticed almost the same now, fully charged, OK, Z shows 100%, working and playing for 2 hours, had 88%, then suspend the Z for exact 9 hours and guess only 63% left and I think in some more hours on standby it'll be fully empty.
This proofs something isn't working right with the re-build battery on standby...
On playing video or games, mp3 it's not that easy to notice any difference to the original accu.

How can I mesure the mAh of the accu ? I start to think it might only have 1200-1400...

Hi Ludwig,

I've sent you a week ago by paypal the money for the 1800 mAh battery, as you told me by email.
I've sent you also my postal address.

Could you please give some feedback by email?

I write this message in the forum because of potential "black holes" in the email system ;-).

Regards,
Rafa.

P.S. My email user is like my OE Forum user, just to help you to find it out.

Ok, I did a formal test.

Charged both batteries with Z off until orange light went out.
Unplugged
Powered on.
Set backlight FULL, and auto screen-off and autosuspend to NEVER.
Overclocked.
Started a video with a loop script to play continuously.

Origianl 760 battery (1700mah): 2 hours and 40 minutes until it died. After that I was still able to power it back on and boot up again on the battery.

New battery: 1 hour and 44 minutes until it died. After that it would NOT come back on at all until I plugged it in.

The new battery has a much shorter life than the original. It is supposed to last longer though, right?
