Several [[Palm (PDA)]] enthusiasts have successfully documented internal and external '''Handheld Battery modifications''' to allow longer charge times for their handheld device. Rapidly advancing [[battery (electricity)|battery]] technology allows smaller and longer lasting batteries to be placed into the space of the original batteries. Modifications of this type can be technically challenging and will almost certainly void any manufacturer warranty and have the potential to damage the modified device permanently.

Many PDAs are not suitable for modification or do not require it; the newest devices include advanced high-capacity batteries, whilst some devices cannot be dismantled without permanent damage.
The Palm [[Tungsten T3]] comes with a built in 900[[Ampere-hour|mAh]] rechargeable [[Lithium ion battery]]. The [[Tungsten Handheld|T1]] and [[Tungsten Handheld|T2]] also used a 900mAh battery, but because of the upgraded Palm Tungsten T3 processor the battery life is significantly reduced. The modest battery life is the largest criticism of the [[Tungsten T3]] compared to other Palm pilot models. One of the most popular handhelds of all time, the Palm [[Tungsten T3]] is a typical candidate for battery modification.
The [[Tungsten T5]] however, includes a much newer battery and is therefore a much less likely candidate for replacement, at least not yet. Much fuss has been made over the issue of the [[iPod|iPod's]] built-in li-ion battery and the fact that it is not designed to be [[IPod#Non-
