Summary
Of XP1 Rechargeable Longer Battery Life
The
XP1 uses a Lithium-ion battery. Lithium-ion Batteries
are design in most cellphones and smartphones. A cycle
of a charge/discharge consists of an extended charging
period, and an extended discharging period. A quick charge
which would be less than 30 minutes does not constitute
a full charge/discharge cycle.
There
are many issues related to charge cycles related to how
long the XP1 battery will perform at is best and how long
it will last. A user should expect the same performance
from the XP1 as they do their internal battery built into
the iPhone and iPod. We do have some recommendations for
users of our product and for iPhones and iPods and this
is related to your charging patterns, Do you use it until
it the battery runs out completely? Use it for an hour
or two and recharge. The temperature, storage should be
maintained between [-10 to 45oC. Lithium-ion batteries
work best when the user does not frequent complete discharge
the battery. The XP1 is designed to be plugged in all
the time when a user uses their USB synch/changing function
and this is good because the user is less likely to complete
discharge the XP1 battery as well as completely discharging
the battery built into the iPhone and iPod. Partial discharge
is how to save the battery life and our product is designed
to encourage this type of battery charging pattern by
the user. A partial discharge is anything less than a
full discharge. This is all about discharging. Do not
worry about the charging function because our XP1 is designed
to shut off and control overcharging. One last point we
would like to make is that an occasional full discharge
is actually good and some battery experts would say is
desirable because this does calibrate the battery.
Lithium-ion
batteries are design so they do not significantly degrade,
or develop "memory", even if charged at irregular
intervals. Charging is easy with the XP1 because all you
have to do is attached the USB connector to your computer.
In addition, you can use an AC power adapter and charge
with external power. We recommend users use the AC wall
adapter for extended charging, rather than the USB cable
which you attached to your computer.
Frequently
Asked Questions
1.
What capacity is the XP1 rechargeable battery and how
does it compare to other rechargeable batteries which
are not built into the cable and plug directly into the
iPhone or iPod?
The
Backup Battery is 2500mAh. Other batteries which plug
directly without a cable between the iPhone/iPod connector
and the rechargeable battery are typically 1000mAh to
1200mAh.
2.
How many hours does the XP1 provided of battery time per
charge?
Additional
talk time 4.5 hours on 3G and 9 hours on 2G. Up to 5.4
hours additional on Wi-Fi. Standby time up to 270 hours.
Audio Playback up to 20 hours and Video Playback 6 hours.
These are approximately and we cannot guarantee exact
times.
3.
With the XP1 built into the cable can I use it just as
I use a normal synch/charging USB cable which come with
the product?
Yes.
You use it exactly as you do a normal synch/charge USB
cable . Just plug the XP1 cable into the computer with
the USB connector and the iPhone/iPod battery and XP1
charge at the same time.
In addition, you can plug the XP1 into a power source
with an AC power adapter and connector the iPhone/iPod
and also charge at the same time. The XP1 charges the
iPhone/iPod, and only then will it charge up the XP1 rechargeable
battery. The circuitry in the XP1 battery knows when to
automatically stop charging the iPhone/iPod, which preserves
the remaining charge in the battery, as well as protects
the iPhone or iPod.
4.
Why build the rechargeable battery into the cable so that
it doesn't stick out the bottom or go on the back of the
iPhone/iPod?
The
main advantage of our XP1 design with the battery backup
in the cable is that the rechargeable battery products
on the market are like the Kensington and Richard Solo
which have the iPhone Apple connector attached to them
directly without a cable. The battery unit plugs into
the iPhone/iPod directly without a cable in between as
in our design and patent. This is a major issue because
the Kensington and Richard Solo design product is that
it extends the height of the iPhone when attached, resulting
in a unwieldy form factor.
The
other advantage of our design and patent are that you
can put the rechargeable battery in your pocket and the
cable will come out of your pocket and can extend has
far as need to allow a user to put the iPhone to their
ear. The weight of the battery is not hanging off the
iPhone however it is in a users pocket and not a problem.
Designs
with the backup battery is in a case covering the back
of the iPhone is often a performance problem. This type
of configuration results in covering the antenna of the
iPhone, and can result in weak reception and transmission
of phone calls.
