Device running without battery
Title says it all...
I would like to plug my device to the charger and let it be running the entire time (just like a laptop) but without battery. Is it possible? If not (I guess so) why? What can I do to make it possible? |
Re: Device running without battery
Nope, while in use the N900 often uses the battery quicker than it charges.
There is a thread on here about 'changing the battery without turning it off' but its not a good idea. |

the thread
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=57734 in theory will work. charger asic will keep the voltage across battery terminals under 4.2 volts and n900 current consumption will keep charger chip active . the only reason for not working in this mode is bme software max voltage of twl4030 chip I think it is 4.5 V ( according tps65950 datasheet ) so if bq24150 keep the voltage under this value it is ok for running. anybody want to try 4V high power zenner diode ? :D |

charge battery and keep charged by running without it

I could put some BT keyboard (and possibly some mouse), rygel and transmission. Then use it as a media player, browser and mail for the tv. For that I would like to know if it is possible to run the device without battery (since at some point it will die and I do not want to spend with that if its possible to leave it running all the time). |

I'm not sure if things are the same where you live, but in Asia you can buy an original brand new BL-5J for about $15 USD. Easier just to replace it. If you want an identical battery from a 3rd party, then you could get one of those for about $3 to $5 USD. |
