Thanks,

Out of curiosity, why would you want or need to do so? If it is a connection issue and you already have access to an outlet...whats the point?

I thought that if the system supported it, I could swap batteries without rebooting.

Seems to me a new battery is what you need...
My suggestion...

Will it be possible with the n900 with the ac cable plugged in to change the battery while the device is running?

i've read in other threads that the quality of the mugen battery is iffy compared to the nokia battery and the a.h. numbers optimistic. i hope you have better luck with it!
If it helps, the '1800mAh' N800 mugen battery is about 1200mAh. This was an improvement over my old nokia original which had degraded to about 800mAh.
See my quandry?

So I am still trying to figure out

and Shadowjk said
If you read that thread, you see it is all over the board. Some have had problems with Nokia batteries and others with Mugen...And a few no problems at all...So I don't know which way to jump. I don't want the plastic back or extra heft of a 3600MAh battery (though if I need it, I will do so), but I do want longer life than the 1500MAh. So it seems that the 1800 is the way to go, but I don't want to pay 8x the cost of the OEM battery if it is the same or less MAh than the OEM.
