Mobadi - Mobile Battery Discharger - 19519 beta
Mobadi - Mobile Battery Discharger - 1.9.519 beta
This is a little application to discharge and monitor your internal battery.
Actual it will support only different HTC Devices, but Versions for non-HTC Devices are comming up soon. The downloadable Version will already run on VGA and non-VGA Devices.
In some test, Mobadi have increased the used mAh up to 370%! So the Bettery will discharge faster.
On older devices like the Trinity, the Bettery-Percentage are 5% or 10%-Steps. So the Diagram are not so detailed like on the Touch-Versions.
tested Devices:
- HTC Touch Pro
- HTC Touch Diamond
- HTC Touch Cruise
- HTC Trinity
- HTC p3300 Artemis
Re: Mobadi - Mobile Battery Discharger - 19519 beta
It's not just to discharge the battery, the description is a little misleading.
A lot of problems with rechargeable batteries comes from their "memory" and it's not something that you typically have any control over. Batteries in general are very basic, the whole thing about the memory is that if the battery is used irregularly, then the memory gets wonky. By that I mean that if one day it's on the charger all day and you don't use it much, then it learns that pattern. The next day you use it all day and the battery runs out quick. Folks think it's just because the battery sucks. That's partially the case, however, it's got a lot to do with how you use it.
This app appears to give you some control over how the discharge rate flows and and if you're not going to be using the battery, yea sure, you can discharge it to a rate that is recommended for safe storage.
When the instructions say to charge a battery fully before first use, there's a reason for that. It's the first imprint of how the battery should discharge.
Re: Mobadi - Mobile Battery Discharger - 19519 beta
very informative. Thank you for that. I know a lot of people were probably thinking the same thing "why would i want to take the charge from my battery?" Well this is the optimization tool to renew your battery's stability and ability. It's like being able to make it new again and even tweak it a little. We have an innumerable amount of apps on here for making your battery last longer. Well this app takes the issue straight to the source.
Re: Mobadi - Mobile Battery Discharger - 19519 beta
could this bring a battery that appears to be useless...say wont hold a charge for more then an hour or so after full charge back to life?? does it clear the false memory and give it the proper amount of ions back to charge?

That's the general gist of what I was understanding of it. Do you have a battery like that?? If so it would be greatly appreciated to you would test that out and let us know.

Has anyone tested this????
Just wondering.
You know what? It's been posted long enough that someone should have. This being my post and all I'll test it right now and get back to you with my results.
Re: Mobadi - Mobile Battery Discharger - 19519 beta
Tested it out myself and re-reviewed original thread and this is what I found.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To store a LiIon battery, you should discharge it to
about 40% and keep it room temp.
That could be feature, to discharge it untill a certain level .
(but never 0%, although I guess the manufacturer already built
in such protection or safety margin)
I do test the power drain of my devices.
That way I can calculate what kind of car adapter I need to not let
it discharge while using hsdpa and wifi simultaneous
(to share internet to the car-pc )
But most of the times I measure by observation..
Some ROMs perform better than others. This tool could provide insight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While this can be useful to discharge battery completely just for
calibration of battery monitoring unit, it serves no purpose to
"deep-cycle" battery everytime, since it wears out on battery
more than charging it when it's still partially charged (it's like
expanding a spring, it wears out less when you expand it more
frequently, but to lesser extend, than when you force it to expand
to it's limits but less frequently)... I've proved this to myself with
my previous phone (SE P900, with excellent battery, Li-Pol 1260mAh
and 16h of talk time), when I've killed first battery by NiMH "care"
method (discharging completely until phone won't boot + fully
charging) in about one year, while next one used in normal way (frequent
charging when not completely drained) served me for about 2.5 year...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't mean to undermine your project in any way, just want to raise a warning to everybody who is planning on using your software on daily basis - with li-ion batteries you are likely to shorten battery life by dischsrging too deeply. It is recomended to charge more often rather than draining your battery to nearly 0% or even let it "die". However it is recomended to let the battery die once in 30 charging cycles to help the device to read battery level properly - and how I see it, that's a moment for your utility to jump in the scene
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So basically it's for several tasks having to do with your battery be it making it more accurately read, storage, testing for rom building, testing independent programs battery drain, and quite a few others. Myself personally don't see much of a need for it for use with my pro. Hope that helps.
And here are some screenshots I took with the program as well.
