New white TI-Nspire CX with Samsung Galaxy battery

critor

Since the dumping of the latest 3.2.4.2 TI-Nspire CX diagnostics software version CX last year, we've known that Texas Instruments was intending to change things with the battery.

Indeed, in the "Battery Test" menu, the "Battery Pack Test" has now been splitted into two different tests :

• "Getac Battery Test"
• "Samsung Battery Test"
  

So it was planned that the TI-Nspire CX could be fitted with batteries from different brands, Getac or Samsung. And if the menu had to be split, it's that they do not work the same way, that there is some change, that something big is preparing ...;)

Comparing those tests on both old and new versions of the Diags suggests that the rechargeable batteries we've been using up to now were 'Getac' batteries. Indeed, the 'Samsung' battery test indicates a different voltage couple, 3.78/3.94 Volts instead of 3.6/3.9 Volts.


We already found some change with the rechargeable batteries in May 2014, with the use of a new plug that could be easily disconnected without having to pick up some tool or to pull on the wires !
But it was not the expected new rechargeable battery, as the specifications were the same.


Well this new battery plug will have been very little used because we're finally getting redesigned TI-Nspire CX for back to school 2014  ! :D
As you can see, the back is now white instead of black, with a totally different battery cover, suggesting the use of a new longer rechargeable battery.


The rechargeable battery we finally discover is actually very similar to the one from the Samsung Galaxy.
Great, there are no wires or plug anymore - just put in the battery and it's immediately connected !


Some may say that TI has copied HP which was using a Samsung Galaxy S3 battery for its HP-Prime calculators... But this is not the case, as the TI-Nspire CX 3.2.4.2 diagnostic software including the support for the new Samsung rechargeable batteries was build on January 17 2013,  and the HP-Prime hadn't even been announced nor released at that time.
