Hello everybody,

I am using Motion LE 1600 since 1 Year. 7 months ago I purchased an external battery. Daaly I use my Motion 50-60% from battery and I fully charge both batteries over night. Now the capacity of exrternal battery decreases, while the standart battery is still in a good shape. Here is a plot of discharging of both batteries during the wathing ripped DVD on tablet.

Red is external battery and yellow standart battery
Is it ok?

Because (it seems to me) external battery starts to discharge fast. The charging for external battery goes also much faster then for standart one.

If any one have a fresh external battery on Motion LE1600 could you test it with this programm (in classic mode).... http://batteryeater.com/releases/beProv270.zip
and post your results here. This programm does not require any installation.
Thanks

looks normal. the tablet is designed to use up the extended battery first, then the standard. this way, you can shed the extra weight when the extended is depleted. when charging, the tablet alternates charging between the two

Agent,
well. Do you know the capasity of second battery? Is it bigger then that for standart one?

The extended battery should give you the same approximate time of usage as the standard battery. I get a little more than two hours out of each. I don't configure power savings very aggressively.

the extended battery has a slightly higher capacity
check out the mAh on the back of the batteries to compare

just for info:
Following this thread, I did a survey on my tablet.
With power setting set to Max (desktop), WiFi on, screen set to max and a movie running, I got just 5 hours before the batteries said 0% power. Power consumption ran for about 2:15 / 2:45 for the extended and the main batteries.
