Additionally, it should also be noted that there are dozens of settings which can influence your individual battery life (such as Bluetooth, screen brightness, etc.) and therefore battery performance will vary greatly between users (for example my screen brightness is always set to maximum to the detriment of greater battery life). Thus, any results should be considered as those of just _one_ user and not necessarily indicative of those that others might experience.

Please Note: Although I have now had the opportunity to perform multiple battery tests I am neither an electrical engineer nor do I benefit from any sort of professional measuring equipment. I therefore decided to take a much closer look at the overall Treo 680 battery performance – a rather long, meticulous and painstaking process as you will be able to appreciate below. Over the past week however some Treonauts have complained that they are unable to achieve these rated times and finding that they are having large drops in battery life with minimal usage. Palm’s official Treo 680 Talk and Standby times (see Treo 680 Comparison Chart) lists 4 hours and 300 hours (12.5 days) respectively – well within range of the above calculations. Therefore, if we know that the standard 1800mAh Treo 650 battery had a ‘Talk Time’ performance of 5 to 6 hours (300 to 360 minutes) we would have to assume that the 1200mAh battery found on the Treo 680 has a talk time performance of between 3 hours 20 minutes and 4 hours (200 to 240 minutes) – or again 33% less than the 1800mAh. Update2: You can now also have a 2400mAh Treo 680 Extended Battery and Treo 750 Extended Battery.]Īs most Treonauts will undoubtedly already know, the new Treo 680 has the rather pleasing benefit and distinct advantage of being the lightest and slimmest PalmOS Treo smartphone to have been released to date (see Treo 680 Review Part 2: Form-Factor Design).Įvidently, one of the most important reasons why the Treo 680 was able to slim down is the fact that Palm has used a 6mm thick 1200mAh battery instead of the 10mm thick 1800mAh standard Treo battery found on the 650 and 700p – a 4mm difference.Ĭomparing both batteries you will immediately be able to calculate that the 1800mAh has 50% more capacity than the 1200mAh or looked at another way the 1200mAh has 33% less capacity than the 1800mAh one. [ Update: The original spare Palm 1200mAh battery for your Treo 680 and forthcoming Treo 750 is finally available in the Treonauts Accessories Shop.
