Behind you... Naked!
I bought a 10.1 Tablet oh, about a year ago.
I have my 7" Galaxy tab and its flawless, and I only bought this 10" jobbie to see if I could justify splashing out on a 10" proper one., cos this was a £70 rubbish thing.
The thing is, that its actually pretty brilliant and does everythign I need of it.
Sure, the rez is a bit iffy and all, but for my needs, its just fine.

However, the battery lasts a few hours never a whole day, when on stand-by, and when fully charged, I can manage a movie or 2 episodes of a TV program but then we are talking battery warnings... Its ridiculous!

I have decided enough is enough, the thing only cost me 70 notes and so I opened her up and I found a couple of things that made me giggle...

Firstly, its got 16GB of its own and Im using a 32GB Card in the SD Slot, but I see another Micro SD Slot internal, and so I plop the 32GB into that and wohoo , it sees it... I throw another into the SD Card slot normal and again... It sees them both!

Sweet, but now I am going to murder my battery totaly, so stuff it, I will leave it for now, but somethign to look at later on.

Now the battery is mostly unmarked but for a couple of number

Apart from that, its unmarked.

Now, I have found that I can buy this very battery, but would I be any better off buying a replacement? Is it simply under par for the job?

If so, then surely a more high performance battery would be a much better option surely?

Now, the battery itself is 100x100mm and 4.5mm thick
mAh is 5000 Typical but a min of 4750 and its 3.7v and its weight not that it matters, is about 90g

I do notice that I could go a further perhaps 50mm at tops in one direction, but not in another so I could top it to 150x100mm with a replacement, and of course, my worry is that the 5000mAh is simply too low.

I could even use a pair of smaller ones if need be too, but again, will this benefit it?

Can anyone offer me any advise before I kill it with getting the wrong things for it?
