Battery from ipod nano 2g/3g in 1g ...?

(1/3) > >>

delt:
The ipod nano 1g has a 14-hour battery, but newer ones have a 24 hour battery i believe. Do you think it would work to take the battery from a 2g or 3g and put it in a 1g? Has anyone tried this?

gnu:
If the 2G's battery is bigger, no. If it is smaller or the same size, yes; but in that case it won't have a higher capacity -> switching batteries doesn't make sense.

Llorean:
Higher capacity does not always translate to larger physical size, sometimes the original battery was just chosen because it was "good enough" and doesn't have the maximum capacity for its size to keep costs down.

That being said it's much more likely the later players are just more energy efficient rather than necessarily having higher capacity batteries.

aspartam:
Batteries in all generations of Ipod Nano have a voltage of 3,7V and a capacity of 400 mAh.
So, the batteries are equal. They just have different cases.


Chronon fixed a typo.

Ah, i see - thanks for your replies.

So, the firmware being simply more efficient (as opposed to having a different type of battery) it's possible rockbox will someday outperform the apple firmware in terms of battery life?  ;D ;D ;D
