Hôm qua lọ mọ vào trang này và mấy diễn đàn thì thấy đang bàn sôi nổi về vấn đề kéo dài pin. Các bác vào đây download.

Đây là những lời bình loạn trên diễn đàn: (sorry bà con, em chưa có thời gian dịch lại)
Exact details of test i made.
I took Tungsten E (with default battery), and Tungsten T3 (with my custom battery). Charged them both overnight, than
set screen to _MAXIMUM BRIGHTNESS_ , launched PocketTunes, set repeat funtion, unchecked "turn off screen after...", and unchecked "stop playing after battery low". This means that it would play untill critical level is reached and palm is shut off. Cpu speed was default (400mhz on T3, adn 126 on TE). First, i performed the test without this FullPower. (it way yesterday night). Than i recharged both again, set shutdown voltage to minimum (3.20v) to test the limits, and started same test over again.
-=Tungsten E=-
Total time without FullPower:....... 3 hours 13 minutes.
Total time with Full power (3.2v)... 5 hours 1 minute.
Total gain: 56%
But percentage didn't work right on TE. Percentage was not updated, so when approaching 3 hours on second test, i got several low warnings, and finally number of critical warnings. (3.70v) But when TE passed 3.70v - it suddenly jumped to 100%, and stayed 100% all the time till 5 hours 1 minute. When voltage reached 3.21 v (lowest i could see) - TE just swithed off (no warnings at all) I switched it ON, it played for some more 3 mins, and switched off again (probably reached 3.2v again). Than i let it rest for couple of hours. Switched it on, showed 3.27v, and was working normally.
CONCLUSION: NO DATA LOSS, EVEN WHEN TESTED TO LOWEST VOLTAGE ALLOWED.
-=Tungsten T3=-
I didnt finish testing yet.
Total time without FullPower:...... 5 hours 18 minutes.
As i speak now, my T3 is already playing for 9 hours 19 minutes, and It's still showing 3.68v (51%)!!!!
When i said 6-7 hours before that by now my results will be ready, i underestimated FullPower. I'm going to sleep now, but meanwhile it's already 76% gain. I don't except to see such numbers on stock T3's battery, but it's not the point here. The point is gain compared to regular use.
Will report back tomorrow the final result for T3 (test is being recorded automatically). By tomorrow i will also have time-voltage discharge graph. And will know whether it lost data. So stay tuned
My T3 test if finished.
If i say that I'm happy with the results - it woudln't express my feeling for even a quarter.
Here's the data:
Total time without FullPower:...... 5 hours 18 minutes.
Total time with FullPower:..... 10 hours 6 minutes!!!!!!
Total gain: 90.5%
But there was a data loss at the end, just like Sjweise. AT the end (7 min before shudown) it game me a warning, and lowest voltage T3 operated was 3.30v. In the morning, after recharge, it was just like after hard reset.
But this is not a problem at all. See why.
I also recorderd voltage drop over time (no percentage though, coz i could record only one value).
Take a look:
As you see - discharge graph is not linear, In fact it is very close to TE discharge graph here After ~3.6v - voltage starts to drop very fast, and between 3.6 and 3.3 - there is almost no gain whatever.
This means that if you set up lowest voltage to 3.6v - you will make sure that you use close to 98% of battery power from one side, and that you are still very far from data loss from another side.
From this moment - Full power is permanent app on my palm, just like Tcpmp.
