Slightly offtopic, but where did you order the battery from? I've been trying to keep an eye out for places to get spares from in the event that I need one eventually.

i buy cameron-sino batteries from this guy:

iirc there's a 1000mAh that fits the F directly, but i usually just go for the 1200mAh g4 ipod battery and shave down the plastic on the inside of the front panel.

GodEater:
I thought there was some daughterboard on the Gigabeat's battery that didn't appear on iPod replacement batteries ?

Plerg:
I've bought one of the iPod 4G batteries too, planning to do the Gigabeat battery upgrade.

I bought one of these, but I'd have bought one of the cameron-sino batteries if I'd seen them.

Nah, it's just on the long edge instead of the short edge. The soldering work shown in the wiki is just to put the appropriate wiring on the battery - I swap the plastic around instead and leave the unused wire in the 3-pin connector folded out of the way.

I haven't actually seen a li-poly pack without a factory-attached protection circuit yet. Not in a DAP anyway.
