Great Deal!!! Apr 04, 2007
By Happy Customer If you're not wanting to fork out the big bucks to replace the battery in a PDA that isn't in stores anymore, but you also don't want to fork out 300+ dollars for a new one, this is your best bet. Soldering the battery is easy. Just buy a wood burning iron in the craft section at walmart for 10 bucks, it does the job nicely. the kit comes with the screwdriver you need to get those tiny screws out, which is a plus, but you will need like a flat head screw driver or something thin that you can pry open the shell with (do this slowly or you will screw up everything on the board). To get you use to soldering, just practice unsoldering the wire connected to the old battery. Remember where the wires are connected to, or you will mess up your PDA. Charge from 2-3 hours.
All in all, a great way to save money and get your money's worth out of the Tungsten E

Good battery, tricky installation Feb 08, 2008
By A. Johnston Battery installation: My husband is an electrical engineer so he wasn't afraid to tackle this problem. What's the worst that could happen? He breaks my Tungsten E and I "have" to buy a new and improved model. So, we jumped in to see if we could revive my old Palm for under twenty bucks. The installation of this battery was a little scary at times. It's rather hard to pull the old battery off the board. It's just stuck on with double stick tape but you have to pull hard and the circuit board is bending a little and we thought we were going to break something. However, it did come off and we didn't break anything. The new battery comes with double stick tape on one side but, if you glue that side down then the wires come out of the battery the opposite side from the original. We decided to glue down the side of the battery that did not have the double stick tape on it so we could match the original battery. Putting the thing back together, getting everything to line up again was mildly worrisome but not really a problem. In the end, the case snapped back togther and everything looked good as new.
Backing up your data before installing the new battery: I saw several web sights warning that you should use special software to fully backup the data on your Palm before doing this installation. I didn't do that. I just synched my Palm with my PC as usual and hoped for the best. After charging the battery overnight I turned it on and it looked like it was brand new, starting from scratch. I followed the directions on my Palm, re-aligned the pointer, re-synched with my PC and voila! everything was back to normal, exactly like before. My Outlook data was all there, the games that I had purchased were there, my menus were the same. If I had not watched my husband do this, I would not have been able to tell anything happened. I don't know if other people have lost some of their data but I was happy to find that just my usual PC synch did the trick.
That was 3 days ago. I had to charge the battery last night, after 3 days of my normal use. I honestly can't remember what the original battery was like 3 years ago to compare. So, if you are not shy about taking things apart and soldering (it's an extremely easy soldering job if you have the tool already), then I say go for it. This battery came with the mini screw drivers and printed instructions and I recommend it.

Best choice I've made May 31, 2008
By L. Briscoe
"unonimouse"
When my palm pilot (tungsten e) died, I found out that the problem was that it was only my battery. I went to a specialized battery store and they said it would cost ~$70 to buy this battery from them. I realized that this wasn't close to a good deal, so I shopped around online. I am soooo thankful. I found this for a total of ~$17,- including shipping - and that includes directions with pictures, the screwdrivers needed to open the palm, and the battery (which turned out to be a high-capacity battery, which is even better than I expected). it was perfectly new,and was easy to solder in (yes, you do have to solder, but I am fourteen and have only soldered once before. There is already solder/flux there for you to use, so all you really need is the soldering iron (i borrowed one from a friend)The only problem that I had was closing up the case again (i didn't realize I needed to use a little force- hey, I didn't want to break it). Just be careful with the soldering iron, as it can melt the plastic case around the motherboard. Please, back up all of your data before replacing the battery.
BOTTOM LINE: I would definitely recommend buying from Osprey Talon. It's a heck of a lot better than paying $70 for the same battery.

Inexpensive & relatively easy fix for your aging PDA Apr 25, 2009
By Boris Karloff Always a nervous proceedure when repairing something as small and delicate as a PDA. Changing the battery took me (a novice) around 15 minutes from start to finish. Just remember to be patient and have a delicate hand when performing "surgery" on your PDA. These batteries are fantastic and give your Palm PDA a new lease of life for very little cost. The mAh increase gives these batteries a longer performance time than the standard battery which came with the unit from new. Please remember to back up your Palm before swapping out the battery as once the battery is removed, your PDA will be as "factory default" once you juice it up and begin it's new life. A quick Palm Hot-Sync restores it to how you had it before PDA surgery. All in all this product is terrific, and I only wish I had done it months ago. My Palm holds it's charge for way longer than it ever has done in the past... longer even than when it was new. Excellent. This company ships very quick too!

Terrific Deal Mar 23, 2009
By Kenneth Cole Almost 5 years ago I got the Tungsten E from Amazon. Only in the past 6 months have I really noticed the battery lose its charge quickly--in a day's normal use instead of a 5-day week's. I received the battery with the two little hex screwdrivers--one fit--within a week from this vendor. The battery and accessories cost just a little more than the postage! As the other reviewers suggest, you should be real careful prying the back off after taking out the screws, pressing in the plastic tabs without breaking them. I used a dinner knife for this and for prying the old battery off. As stated, remember were the red and leads go! Someone said on line somewhere that there would be plenty of flux to work with, but I had troubles with the size of my soldering iron and not having enough flux to work with for the black lead. Not wanting to fry the mother board, I ended up calling all over town for help, but no one would touch it. Then I remembered the hobby shop where my son bought his RC cars, and they did it as a favor. Now the pda works just like new after a week's use! I haven't used the protector yet that comes with it, but it looks more substantial than the ones I've used before. So if you're attached to your old pda, this will probably solve your problems.
