Treo 680 battery problem

Cingular Palm Treo 680 2100mah Extended Battery w/ Door

That was interesting. I thought that my Treo 680 had a problem with the battery callibration (since I spent two days at 99% battery capacity). Well, it died again upon a reset today. On a hunch, I put my Treo 650 battery in there. It started up with no problems.

So now my Treo 680 is on my Treo 650’s battery. The good news is that I have 50% more battery life (1800mAh compared to 1200mAh). The bad news is the battery sticks out at the back, so I can’t put in my battery cover. I solved that by shoving the entire thing into my Vaja case. It fits snugly.

Obviously this is a temporary solution to get me through the day. I ordered a Seidio battery (1600mAh, fits in the slot with no special battery cover needed) which should arrive next week. In the meantime, I have asked a friend to lend me his spare Treo 680 battery.

Overall, not a smooth experience in my first few days with my Treo 680.
