Well, the title explains it all. Last night I was playing around with my CellBoost emergency charger that I received for Christmas and I noticed that it was disposable... Luckily, they supplied a removable adapter that would make the charger compatible with the newer Palm Treos and most newer Palm Handhelds (TX/T5/E2/LifeDrive), which meant it broke the meaning of a disposable emergency charger for Palm Treos if you know how to modify it into a reusable version.
I wrote this tutorial on my website so you can read the tutorial here.

Very cool indeed. I might give that a try, right now I carry two Treo 650 batteries on long trips and plane rides. I know, i know, get a higher capacity battery but im waiting for the Treo 680 high capacity same size batteries to ship, so im not investing more money in my 650 that i can't use on the 680.

But this is cool... does it actually charge the Treo from dead to 100% on two batteries?

It should. But don't worry, 4xAA NiMH batteries would almost charge your Treo 2 times over.

you shouldn't. and don't throw away the tr1 adapter either. you can mod that also and sell it.

Sorry to resurrect and old thread. But does anyone know where I can find the information linked to in this thread? About reusing cellboost battery backs? The link is dead and I can't find a cached version of the page anywhere on the net.
