Extended Battery [Posted on 2005-07-24]
Keeps my HP 3715 running for days. I generally use it in place of books. Even without turning the PDA off, kust letting the backlight dim out, I still get several days of usage. If I used the PDA for much more, I would probably loose some up time though. The only issue (and it's not really an issue for me) is that it changes the size of the PDA. It still fits the cradle just fine (good going HP) but hard case and such no longer fit. The seperate charger that comes with it is a bonus. No extra power supply to plug in (it taps into your existing cords) and it charges either the regular battery or the extended battery.

Extended battery with shortfalls [Posted on 2005-09-11]
First the battery does not come with the charger. The battery charger cradle does not have a power supply. You must use the power supply for the Ipaq. This was a big disappointment as I was expecting a second power supply. Next the battery is big and with the new cover it greatly increases the thickness of teh Ipaq and makes the back a strange shape so it no longer sits flat on a table or keyboard.

You can get similar of even larger capacity batteries for less cost. I bought this because I thought I was getting a second charger.

On the positive, it has increased the operating time of my Ipaq significantly as the original battery did not have sufficient operating time to be of significant use when travelling.
