Battery-Indicator handling of extended battieries #28

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What is the impact when using a 3500mAh extended battery?

Is this handled automatically (correct charge% and estimates)?

If not, will there be a future version with extended battery support?

If not, is there a workaround?

Battery Indicator is a high-level app, which means extended batteries will work 
perfectly as long as they are supported by the device manufacturer, but it 
can't help if not.

The battery reports its charge level, voltage, health, and temperature to the 
OS, which then reports theses details to the app, which then presents the 
details to you.  The app doesn't directly talk to the battery and doesn't know 
about the low-level details.  I've heard lots of success stories and some 
reports of extended batteries not working, but as long as it's an official 
battery, or otherwise known to work properly with your device, then it will 
work fine with Battery Indicator.

The one thing you might want to change is to increase your time estimates.
