Anyone cheaper ?

Re: External battery pack for N8x0/770.
 

for about the same price you can pick up the Tekkeon MP1550 and 4 rechargable AA batteries. I've been using the Tekkeon for a bit over a month and am very pleased with it's performance and ease of use. With the Tekkeon you get the added benefit of being able to use standard AA batteries if needed - which can come in really handy.

I believe that there are a lot of posts in this thread regarding the Tekkeon charger if you're interested. Looks like Amazon and Buy.com and Wireless Hut have the best prices right now.

Just a caution
I tried to buy the Tekkeon thru Amazon from antonline - the order went thru then they cancelled it.

Re: External battery pack for N8x0/770.
 

Bummer Antonline cancelled your order. I got my Tekkeon via Antonline on Amazon and had no problem. Perhaps they ran out and were not expecting more before the delivery deadline? For some reason the MP1550 seems kinda hard to locate from time to time. I really like the device and especially the size.

Like PCQ I use the MP1550 and a set of Eneloop AA batteries. Actually I have four sets (16 batteries) But I use mine to power my Cradlepoint CTR350 and just bought a couple extra genuine Nokia BP-5L batteries and an external charger USB for them. So pretty much I can run both devices 24/7 and never be out of juice. Plus it all fits in my waist pack. I do however keep a charger for the AA batteries in my vehicles so, as I use up a set I can pop them in and have a full charge in a couple hours.


Now what I really wish they would do for the N800 tablets is create a modified back-plate to allow for a larger battery. Sans that option then create a nice BIG external battery which attaches/mounts on the back of the tablet itself. I just don't like the idea of something hanging off the tablet if I run low on power and still need to use the thing. I don't care if it doubles the weight and makes in a few cm's thicker.

.......

I tried to find an external charger for the BP-5L batteries, but did'nt find the external charger USB, that is a loader where you can load the BP-5L betteries outside the Nokia. Could be useful.

Q: Where did you buy it ??

Thanks, Abel.

Did buy last week a Philips SC4420: 39€ : It's brand new, not yet seen in dollars

(4420 without charger, 4430 with charger)

Works excellent with a N800: Nokia phones, and photogear.

And other: See Compatability list: http://www.misc.philips.com/e-shop/_...ilityChart.pdf

Battery: Lithium polymer - 2000 mAh
Input 5V DC (I use my TomTom charger which delivers 5V)
Output DC 5.6V regulated which is important. It really charges my N800.

•Provides up to 30 hours of portable power
•LED indication
•Handy travel bag included (Yeeaaahhh A sock) :p
•Retractable cable
•Holder for interchangeable connector tips
•Powerpack is charged via the USB outlet
•Built-in overcharge protection

Obviously Philips is coming with a full line, including external batteries for notebooks.

Re: External battery pack for N8x0/770.
 

You can use any portable charger that has a usb port in it with this.
I made myself a Minty Boost and it works well. i can get about 3 hours extra from it. and when it dies i just pop in 2 more AA and off i go
