740 Batter advice Requested

[squid997]

First off let me thank the many people that have tolerated and even humored me and all my Noob questions. Making a Large $ investment has been made easier by knowing that I can ask for advice here and get some good no-nonsense advice.

Second I use my 740 Quite a bit on the road and obvously the batter life is not good. Do you all recommend getting a second batter or buying the larger batter pack ? I am asking because the larger batter is 2x what the normal battery costs and I am wondering if its worth it to buy. Does the larger batter make it that much more inconvinient to carry and use?


Thanks again in advance.

Oh, the big battery is SO worth it.

Words fail me to try and elaborate how much better it is.

I just searched to boards for feedback and found alot. Still now it appears buying a battery is going to be a chore. And a new case sheesh when will it end. Thanks btw.

It's definately a worthwhile investment.

but the only problem I can think of is how can you charge both the batteries?? your cradle wouldn't allow you to do that, rite? So it's kinda troblesome, don't u think so?

I bought the extended battery, and couldn't be happier. I have yet to run out of juice - with wireless on - up to 12 hour days. I don't bother with the smaller battery now.

Personally, I just never take off the big battery.

I have a charger at my desk that works just fine with my Piel Frama case. Every few days I plug it in for a bit. I haven't looked at my cradle (not sure where it is, to be honest) in a month or two.

Wifi and the big battery is darn near freedom!

If you are using WiFi, the battery pack is a must have.
