Hi kann mir einer sagen ob der Akku denn man im ifixit Shop kaufen kann ein ni-mh Akku ist?

Tobias Isakeit - May 19, 2021

Jep, es handelt sich um einen NiMH Akku (ist auf dem Produktbild zu sehen). Wie der originale, und sogar mit etwas mehr Ladung ;)

Und ist es besser einen mit mehr Ladung zu nehmen oder sollte man es so wie im Original nutzen? Was ist in dem Original Akku der Tonie Box? 1800mAh?

Tobias Isakeit - Jul 7, 2021

Der originale hat 2000 mAh, der in unserem Store hat 2200 mAh. Hält einfach ein wenig länger ;)
