If you happen to spend long hours at the hospital or hop on cross-country plane trips or are traveling through Europe them maybe you need to look into a PDA power-boost! Practically speaking, battery life for handheld computers is limited.
Palm OS devices hold a charge for 4-7 days, depending on use patterns. Pocket PCs may run for maybe a day or two. Most handheld computers include an AC adapter for periodic charging. For heavy users on the go, alternative power management arrangements may be necessary. PDA chargers are specifically designed for PDA batteries models of all brands.
Fortunately, rechargeable, replaceable battery packs are now available for some Toshiba and Hewlett-Packard Pocket PCs. A 9V battery-powered emergency adapter may be purchased for Dell's Axim X3. Similarly, Palm's rechargeable Power to Go sled clips to Tungsten series devices (except for the Tungsten E) to provide an on-the-road recharge sans the cables!
If you are not ready to cut the cord then cable-based adapters for cigarette lighter charging or combination synchronization/charging, via USB connection to computer are available. And if you're headed overseas, don't forget to pick up a travel kit with appropriate international outlet adapters. These and other power management solutions are essential to keep your PDA functioning at optimum levels |
