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

Well we got a new goto battery, extensive testing on the Polarcell showed 1520mAh

So no need to go searching forever for the scud's, also if you live inside EU then no customs and such to worry about +pretty fast shipping

Have You compared cells (physically) to old ones? What caused increase in capacity? Are they more thick now, or they have changed chemistry a bit?

I'm just wondering, as we have already assumed, that it's quite impossible to make battery of such capacity, without going to "thicker" form, as it was in scud.

Haven't measured but they look bigger, can't compare because the old polarcell went with a N900 i sold some time ago to a maemo user.

Doing testing i did one of the REALLY deep cycles and got a reading of 1550mAh and this is on par with the scud's, so the search is over for a source of "super" battery, this test was outside the normal parameters that ALL battery's has been tested, but when tested normally it got just over 1520mAh

I'm glad to hear that, but I'm little worried if it's not just this particular serie/unit being so OK. It would be great, if other users, buying from other sources, could confirm it.

BTW, where You have bought those tested ones? From link in 1st post?

Im not following what you are trying to say estel?

The battery i bought is from the link in post #1, and no need to search for places to buy polarcell since it is their own "shop" on ebay

In other news i just received a SCUD from enjoygadets and i ordered the 1450mAh but got the 1350mAh, so im not going to test it and im not going to recommend the shop or anything.


All i can say now it get the polarcell and take your chances if you get a SCUD, since Lucia Lui stopped selling we have not been able to get a STABLE source anyway, they either have sold out or like this you get the "wrong" battery.....

Scrap that. If you are still wanting this cell please let me know where to send it. It's got a number of cycles on it, usually not deep discharges. 60? Any use?

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

I'm just worrying, if Polarcell will keep producing/ordering batteries with such capacity, or, instantly, after few weeks, we will get report of decreased capacity of newly acquired ones, like we had with Scud.

I'm just wondering, because we have no idea, where Polarcell cells originate. Do they produce them? If yes, it would be great, but I suspect, that they're just buying cells and rebranding them. This mean, that they will have only, what is manufactured on some (probably chinese) factory, and capacity may change dramatically from one month to another.

Of course, it's possible, that there is no such danger, and everything will be ok :) As said, i'm just wondering.

anyway, isn't it good idea to change thread title (as Scud isn't back, apparently), and declare new winner in 1st page?

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

Well that makes it more clear :)

Polarcell produces they own battery's so in case of high demand they can make more ;)
So no re-branding or anything.

And i can't change the title?, i have tried several times and have contacted "staff", anybody know how i need to contact to change this....

PM Reggie he's about. Just commented on the football spam issue a few moments ago...

I'll have my freshly ordered Polarcell on Monday, I hope. I understand I can measure it on-device with some scripts. I will report my findings.
