Breathe life into your iPAQ with a new battery

If you've been doing this "Pocket PC thing" for a couple of years now like me, you'll probably have a 1st generation iPAQ. And if you recharged it a lot, you're probably noticing that you're just not getting the battery life you used to - or perhaps your iPAQ won't hold a charge at all? I had an iPAQ that would only work when plugged in to AC power - it held zero charge. So what do you do? Contact the Pocket PC Techs of course!
If you're looking for a straight battery replacement for your 3600 or 3700 series iPAQ, $99 will get you a 1000 mAH battery virtually identical to the standard iPAQ battery (50 mAH more). For $149, you can get the massive 2100 mAH battery. So how does the big battery perform in real-life tests? Very well indeed! A standard 3650 will last for two hours with the backlight on low. After the 2100 mAH battery upgrade, it lasts 5.2 hours - more than double the power. I know some people who use the PCMCIA sleeve just for the extra battery - shed the sleeve brothers, and get the bigger battery! This is one of the best upgrades you can do for your iPAQ.
If you're interested in getting this upgrade, when you're checking out use the coupon code "thoughts" and you'll save $10 off the high-capacity battery option, or $5 off the regular battery. This isn't an affiliate code - we make no money off of this. I just want you to have a strong battery!
