i got a mugen back cover for my n900 last week and two batteries.

all was good but the last couple of days the battery has only been lasting a day, where as last week i was getting two and a half days.

wires all seem to be fine.

can anyone offer any advice?

if running dual scud do you need to do something special other than running them in parallel?

dr_frost_dk is asking You (andy_con) how You connected both batteries together (we know that in parallel - at least I hope so - but, is it soldered, just tight-contact or whatsnot?).

Also, it would be like if You could perform some current tests with bq27200.sh 5 or, if You prefer that, batterygraph/batteryeye.

It may be totally unrelated to batteries, just something in software, waking up CPU.

Just check my signature, for fuel gauge calibration and bq27200.sh download location. BTW, link to instruction is also on first post of this thread, close to very beginning of it, written in big bold letters

Anyway, I really think it is software issue. for GUI, fool-proof method, just use package (from extras repositories, not sure if -testing, -devel or basic one) batterygraph or batteryeye. Monitoring usage in standby or during certain activities may show what is eating battery life.

i have been trying to measure battery capacity. i place bq27200.sh in usr/bin and the ic2 file in the first location.not in any folder.in the ./ location. where other folders like .dev bin boot are located.still i get this:

BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

~ $ root


BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

Nokia-N900:~# bq27200.sh
Need ./i2cget
Nokia-N900:~#

i have already seen the guide/instructions but they are rubbish. they state

Pre-Requirements:
bq27200.sh script by shadowjk - place it wherever You want (i suggest /usr/bin, this way You may execute it by typing just "bq27200.sh", without quotes - no need for full path), and chmod +x it.
i2cget from shadowjk's website - place it in ./ (root - *not* MyDocs, or any other place)

how do i out it in the right folder? the instructions tell you where to save it but not how to save it
