Lifedrive battery software

Was it a tight fit or an exact replacement? Yes, dagwud figured out my lame attempt at humor. Unless iPods99 has discovered an undocumented charging circuit in the IIIxe and has shaped the battery to fit into the space for the standard replaceable batteries, I don't know how this is going to work. Dagwud is also right about the screwdriver being a Philips, not Torx.

The picture in that link above surely doesn't look like anything that would work in a IIIxe. But heah, I've been wrong before. Maybe someone from iPods99 can explain it to me. On the other hand, I'll keep this site in mind if my old T2 or still new TX needs a battery replacement in the future.

L-Ion batteries do wear out after some time. A new mAh battery will provide a lot more power than a worn out mAh battery will and the price doesn't seem unreasonable. The only thing you had to do was to replace the battery with the new one. There is plenty of room inside the T3 for the battery,.

I'm sure things were easier before they became more simple. It calls the company's claim "highly dubious" and points out several more things that raise doubts about the offer and the company. And then most of the comments that followed reinforce this negative impression. As I said earlier, I'm very glad that PalmInfocenter called attention to this offer because now I'll know to stay away from iPods RE: why bother?

At first I thought they were at least one better than "ipods98," but sadly it appears this is not the case. Seeing aftermarket hardware releases that are an improvement, even marginally, over Palm's underwhelming originals batteries, in this case are always news-worthy.

Since many of the LifeDrives in use are now over a year old and well out of warranty, a battery replacement for the experienced hardware modder is a very realistic proposition. If it's any reassurance, "reputable" firms like Seidio sell a wide variety of crosshardware for different platforms on their web site.

There's a reason warranty, documentation, guaranteed compatability Palm sells their self-branded accessories for high margins. I noticed a recent upsurge in sales of certain Palm batteries and traced it back to this forum and have read with interest the postings in this thread.

However we received so many inquiries from Palm people wanting to purchase a battery rather than be forced to re-purchase a Palm. We have worked to accomodate this demand although admittedly without substantial technical expertise with regards to each palm model.

We do ship each battery with a no questions asked 1 year money back guarantee, and when the customer receives the wrong battery or has any other problem that is our fault we correct the problem without troubling them to return the incorrect battery. We lose money when this happens, but we also build the expertise that we are able to offer our customers as a result. I went into a Palm store while on a visit to Washington, DC's Union Station earlier this month, and asked if it was possible to replace the battery in their units.

They replied that it was not. On the other hand I have sold hundreds of batteries to satisified palm users, including executives at large corporations and volume orders from large organizations. Think of the money these folks save by replacing the batteries rather then purchasing a new Palm for each employee. Our web site is not perfect, mistakes are made, but thus far the only bad comments that I have seen are from people who have not done business with us.

Yes, my customers are less risk averse than others, not only being willing to do business with a smaller company, but willing to take apart their Palm to install the battery. If you require risk free perfection in your doings, than by all means, purchase a new Palm when your battery deteriorates.

If on the other hand you wish to save some money and keep your old palm, than try to keep an open mind about the possibilities. This place is dead. I sold mine after a few days. Blackberry forever!
