Treo Extended Battery | More Power For Your Treo

Generally speaking one could say that a ‘Low Battery’ reading on our Treo is certainly not an everyday occurence – the Treo batteries  actually seem to last forever. 

Nevertheless, as I mentioned in my Treo Essentials Guide, there are some Treonauts whose daily Treo lifestyle will be so intense from either calls or data usage that making sure they don’t run out of power will be critical. 

In my case battery concerns are at their highest when I’m travelling and unable to recharge for extended periods of time.  For example, I have the habit of listening to my favourite music for hours on the plane with Pocket Tunes but unfortunately this often means that by the time I land a good portion of my juice will have evaporated just when I need a full charge to drive away with my TomTom GPS…

In all these instances, the single best precaution is to carry one or more spare batteries.  Until now this had simply meant getting an 1800mAh Palm Treo Battery which offers an additional 6 hours Talk time and some 300 hours Standby. 

However, as of today I’m upgrading the main batteries (and perhaps even my spares) on both my Treo 650 and Treo 700w to the new Seidio 2400mAh Extended Battery (image right) which instantly boosts my available power by 33% to 8 hours Talk time and nearly 400 hours Standby.

I can’t think of a simpler way to add even more power to your Treo and I actually wish that this battery had been released sooner.

All that I hope now is that Palm may consider including such a higher performance battery as standard in our next generation Treo…

Treonauts are always looking for more power…
