Additional Battery

As mentioned above in the inital stats battery capacity can be doubled by getting an additional battery, though N900 needs to be put to sleep before changing them. Fortunately N900's little cousin 5800 for which I've already bought a spare battery uses the very same BL5J battery.

Now the way I do it is using a dedicated battery charger (one at home, one at work), as soon as a battery goes empty I place it in the charger. When fully charged it goes into the front pocket of the phone's pouch (battery contacts to the bottom).

If the battery empties on the road I replace it with the fully charged one and place the empty one *contacts up* into the pouch. That way when I get to the charger I know whether or not the battery needs charging (in case I don't remember). This method also proved useful for my other devices and means in practice I have no "down time".

Reward: Ankh of endurance (i.e. battery), EN +4
