Battery Change

[altean]

The battery settings trick doesn't work on all players.
I have tried alot of them (while I was repairing them) and only a few of them would actually work.The reason why it's usually a combination of things.
1. Firmware settings
2. The board layout. Meaning.. The actual layout of the PCB has to contain a few extra parts what works in conjuction with the ATJ or AKA chip.
These chips has extra pins connected on the board to determine if the given unit is actually using the type of battery.
Some of the boards are having these parts, some aren't.
For example the ATJ2085 has 2 pins the BATSEL and the DCDIS pins which are determining the actual types of batteries being used in conjuction with the USB.
Sorry for the improper english description here but I'm trying to keep it as layman as I can.
For proper technical details, pls refer to the ATJ2085 pdf file I have uploaded to this site in the Downloads section.

cheers
p.s. If you want more play time just set the player to turn off the EL backlight in the Sys Setup/LCD Set/Blck, Set it to 5 and it will shut of the backlight in 5sec. If you leave it on 0 (default) it will not turn off yer backlight. Darkle is to set it to halfbright.It actually don't work on the lot of players.To conserve battery or like Tadad sez just stick in a bigger Lithium as big as you can fit or stick a really big, flat Lithium on the back of the player. lol :P
Anyways, good luck hehehe.

Would this type of thing work, or would it blow up my player? http://www.bixnet.com/5v7libapa.html

yes it does work. just make sure you have the usb to usb extention cord with it. make sure you ask for one.
as another solution you could buy a bigger lithium battery like a 3.7V 2500mA and velcro it on the back of the player.
it will add a bit of extra weight, but you will get about a week worth of play time out of it.

Would be very happy to if you could kindly give more detail on this, thank regards

Hey Tadad

Where I can buy this battery of 3,7 v/300 ma the one who serves for the generic model of ipod nano (mp4 player)?

I live in the Brazil and this way he does not have this type of battery. You have some link of some store in web where I you can buy this battery?

Thanks

For the Nano clone players, is it possible and practical to install a ipod nano battery? http://www.ipodstop.co.uk/iPod-nano-battery.htm

Guest, No because the charge controller for the iPod is on the mainboard but on the fake nano it is on the battery.
