Guest Anonymous Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 How is the externall battery case for the N10 suppose to work? I put in a new AA cell into the case and lock it into the N10, then turn off the built-in batt, I get no power. Does the built-in work in conjuction with the external? Then why is there a switch to turn off the built-in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 how or when will the display show the "ADD-ON" status for the external battery? I've been able to see the "BLT-IN" and "AC" status but have not been able to see the "ADD-ON" status. Will this show up after the internal batt has been drained to a certain level?

Leland Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 The add on battery will only start working when the internal battery is fully drained. This is stupid, but true, as I have tested it. I wish it would give priority to the external battery so I could preserve the internal battery when I wanted to by using the add on battery pack when in situations where size and weight are less important. In the case mentioned, the display will indeed say "add on" or something to show it is being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
