Kohjinsha SC3 Extended Battery

Posted on Sep 14, 08 06:37 PM PDT

Pocketables.net have taken a look at the Kohjinsha SC3 extended battery, and here's their take on it.

That 6.4-hour battery life quoted by Kohjinsha? Rubbish. In real life, expect to spend about 3.5 hours online via Wi-Fi (Bluetooth and GPS off, mid-screen brightness, balanced power plan) before looking for an outlet. The number is good for a UMPC, I'll give you that, but it's shameful for an extended battery that's supposed to run for 6.4 hours. Even if Kohjinsha used JEITA to get that number (as Fujitsu did), actual runtime is still an hour short of the "reduce manufacturer's battery claims by 30%" rule.

Well, as usual, beware of all the marketing specifications and hype as real world performance often produces some rather lacklustre figures that will disappoint even the most optimistic person. The extended battery current retails for approximately $135.
