Long Life PDA Batteries
The love affair between consumers and long battery life is by no means secret. A PDA's use of applications that require extended life batteries means that the technology of PDA batteries must be sufficient enough to accomodate the data uses and appliocation uses that PDA owners require.
The reality is is that the current PDA Battery technology and more importantly the operating systems employed on PDAs do not efficiently use and allocate power from exisitng PDA batteries.
Take for example the new Dell Axim X51 series PDA that employes the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system. With its new develoment the Windows Mobile 5.0 OS improves overall device efficiency, yielding as much as 30 percent more battery life!
PDA Battery life will increase quite a bit with the development of the new micro fuel technologies being developed, but don't run out to replace your pda battery with this new technology anytime soon. The new micro fuel technology will not be available until about 2009. Until then software improvements will and proper conditioning of your lithium-ion and lithium-polymer pda batteries will be key.
