Motorola Cel Battery Question

I think you need a battery.

But this is an interesting point, which is why you shouldn't try to jump anything out.

It seems that eventually they would put the charging regulators right in the battery. Temp sensors are right there, it can be tailored to the specific unit, and can probably trim the charge for unbalanced cells. It makes sense.

That means if you jump it out inside the battery and try to charge it, you will be putting probably 12V @ 2A into it. Watch the explosion.

The technology of these batteries has exploded, there are alot of things we simply do not know. They are not the dry cells of the 1960s to say the least. Of course we have heard of the cellphone battery blowing up on someone, right in their ear, and that wasn't even during charging !

Another thing, if you care about the environment, you just don't throw it in the garbage. The materials in there are very nasty to put into landfills, and they actually can be recycled, but they are not letting on yet.

Doesn't matter, it is still something that you do not want in the landfills. I am not saying they are making a killing, but I suspect it is like the salt business. They make more money on the things the take out of the salt than they do from the salt. By far.

But you still don't want a battery in the landfill if you can help it. I wouldn't go so far as to pay someone to take it, but I would try not to just throw it in the garbage.

One thing I find annoying is that the phone will not work without a battery off the charger or car cord. A person should not be out of business because the battery failed when they do have external power available. If that means better regulation on board the phone or external source so the battery is not needed to stabilize it then so be it.
