!TESTING! OEM-Battery Vs. Hong Kong Non-OEM Battery

[trevorx3]

Started test at 5:55 central time. (got impatient)

Turned on Wifi (connected to access point about 20 feet away), turned on bluetooth (connected to nothing), turned on GPS (used with Wardrive), turned on autosync, turned on 100% brightness with the screen never timing out. Turned on wardrive, left it up an running while setting on my nightstand.

I'm expecting the battery to last 1-2 hours with this much stress on it.

30 minutes into the test and it's still reading 100% charge...

30 minutes in, started streaming music via last.fm at full volume.

I know this is adding more variables, but it's still going to give me a rough timeframe.

The current test will take too long.

I bought 5 of these batteries for under 30...they last about half of what the oem do..I always carry 2 in my wallet Ha.....

With all the exploding batterys, that scares the s*** out of me even if it isn't discharging

Exploding batteries is exactly what I'm scared of. Especially since my droid gets real hot when charging. Still, I ordered a charger and battery combo for 10 bucks. I figure the charger is worth that much.

Careful, I've had problems with my ipod touch with non-oem chargers affecting the screen sensitivity. The voltage is not as regulated and occasionally the device will try to ground itself through your hand. It doesn't hurt but it will hurt the touch screen.

My device has never gotten hotter than just a little bit warm except when I tried overclocking to 1.2ghz and running the TV.com app to stream television shows. Even then, it was just a little bit toasty. My laptop gets hot enough to leave burns if left on someone's lap.

Even charging the non-oem battery, it's fine.

NOTE: my device is not rooted now, so that shouldn't affect the test results.

Keep in mind the Droid's chip can withstand temperatures up to 97 degrees Celsius (I think I read this somewhere on this forum... ? can somebody confirm/deny this?)

If you look in the user manual the max recommended temperature is 45C. Keep in mind as you approach 100C water spontaneously converts to vapor, which isn't very healthy for your droid's inner parts.

Causes everyone knows the Droid is made of liquid water. Sorry couldn't resist. Why would anyone want to get to 97C, that would be so uncomfortable to hold.

While I don't doubt that high temps are bad for any device, your logic is flawed.

You say that water will spontaneously convert into water vapor when approaching temperatures of 100 degrees Celsius. Water doesn't even begin to turn into vapor until 100 degrees Celcius. And for water to "spontaneously" convert to vapor, you'd be talking SUPER HOT.
