Re: Battery for PRC-100

2009-04-29 by Cheetham

The PRC is a Sharp Zaurus PDA and I got a replacement generic battery from  laptopsforless.com for about $20 and it works just fine.
The original was starting to swell and had almost no life off the charger.

The battery capacity is only an indication of its life. It should not have any influence on any other performance. I think I got the 2000Mah, but it isn't marked on the battery itself.

Good luck
Howard
