Upgrade your Tablet to use replaceable batteries.
Upgrade your Tablet to use replaceable batteries.
Battery on my Android Tablet died, so I upgraded it with 18650 replaceable batteries. Tutorial with pics
You're viewing a single thread.
If you already opened it to install this, why didn't you just buy an actual replacement from China?
ETA:
This is (probably) a Blackview Tab 12 Pro
I found a proper replacement ranging in price from $10 to $30 depending on if you wanted a Stateside store and faster ship or willing to wait for AliExpress.
This is a solution in search of a problem
but replacing the battery doesn't mean you get to have a tablet with replaceable batteries
It proves you already had a tablet with replaceable batteries...
Replaceable vs "easily replaceable"
I guess we could use the term "swappable" here as a distinction.
I'll accept that compromise. Now I'm more curious if the batteries are hot swappable though. It'd probably cause some chaos with the battery indicator but just making me think...
Wouldn't the battery indicator already be fucked because of this? Do those cells match what it came with?
Actually capacity exceeds the original spec. Battery indicator seems accurate though.
If you get more likes on your comment I am willing to test this
The logic here is astounding.
replaceable batteries as in AA batteries
Ig, but you can expect a Li-ion to last about 2-3 years, it's not that much of a chore to open it up every 3 years, especially after the first time
Maybe op really likes to carry spare batteries instead of, you know, a power pack?
why should you open it up again, instead of just charging/replacing the repalceabke batteries
Because they're ugly, bulky and inconvenient as fuck.
okay but who doesn't want a tablet with replaceable batteries
Context I live in a country with an unreliable postal service and shit currency. Also batteries were free from an old power bank
