Re: Battery Tests, Homemade 3000mAh XL Battery & Q&A (GOTO POST #1) SCUD is BACK!!!
 

Well they should still have about 1400mAh (unconfirmed), i will have to test them at some point to be sure.

So your not going to get the full potential like the good old scud's, also at that price if only 1350-1400mAh you can buy the Polarcell instead (fast shipping inside EU), about same price anyway.

Yeah I nearly went through with the order, it's a good thing I checked with her first because the picture shows the higher capacity blue dream scuds!

So it looks like that, thanks to dr_frost_dk, I've got last four ~1500 mAh scuds in existence (tm) and forged it (in my volcano workshop ;) ) into last two 3000 mAh dual scuds?

I'll probably keep one of them for myself (to accompany my private 3000 mAh battery made from first line of scuds), but the second one may be passed to any fellow Maemo user - for hardware/shipping (only to receiver, as I've them already on my place) + 30$ donation for hardware projects prepared by me ;)

In case of many people interested, folks that have donated something to dr_frost_dk in the past, got priority. It's fair for everyone, I hope?

@Estel
Long time reader first time poster:
I am very much interested in the 3000mah scuds if they are still available :)

Re: Battery Tests, Homemade 3000mAh XL Battery & Q&A (GOTO POST #1) SCUD is BACK!!!
 

First things first - welcome on board :)

Unfortunately for Your first post contribution, it has been sold within 5 minutes of my announcement. I should take 60$ donation, it would be still cheaper than lower-capacity mugen battery, LOL (I'm joking, despite comment about price being true).


If, for any reason, people that were first will change mind, or miraculously, I'll put my hand on more scuds (most unlikely to happen :( ) I'll remember that You're interested :)

Aww damn shame but I guess it makes sense that I was beaten to it :) Thanks for replying and please do keep me in mind.

I buyed a scud blue power exactly like in first post photo with exactly the same writings on it.Buyed from someone on this forum ,and i can tell you that after a week of testing is the same(if not worst) than my 2years old original BLJ battery.1 and a half day maximum 2 days,with regular use(no 3g connection,no wi-fi connection,only 3-5 min.phone calls)It didn't cost to mutch but after i have seen only good opinion about this battery i am very dissapointed.The battery looks like is new whit a seal on the pins connections,altought i can't be certain!Anyone have the same bad experience whit this battery?

It happens - with all makes. I too a while back got a Scud that performed no better than my old nokia one. But I realise from this forum that was not the norm.

So I am sad to see them go. . .

I found the scud to be a improvement over my battery standard one but I did do a fresh reflash before I used it I think jeach n900 will respond differently as to what you have setup and what's running in the background and using CPU power etc.

No idea where you get it, but maybe it was used? Anyway, You may want to use "measure real capacity of battery" link from my signature, and determine real capacity for 100%. Otherwise, it's pure guessworking without much value - many other factors could affect Your battery runtime simultaneously.
