Gigabeat F replacement battery
pixelma:
I'd be very careful with a replacement battery which is not made for the device.
There are several reports of these batteries at least failing after a while, if not ballooning or leaking inside the player when used in the Irivers as markun mentioned. It doesn't even have to be bad quality but the fact that they aren't "treated" or charged the same way as in the player they were made for.
Mad Cow:
I guess it's possible, but pretty unlikely. MP3 player change and discharge very slowly, so balooning due to amperage isn't a problem, but some players might charge to a higher voltage, which may cause ballooning. I wouldn't be worried though.
Febs:
I've merged two threads that both related to replacement batteries for the Gigabeat F series.
jac0b:
Both the gigabeat and the Ipod batteries have PCBs connected to the wires. But what I need is a dead battery to take the PCB from to be used on the Ipod battery. If someone has a dead gigabeat battery that you can send to me PM me.
gnu:
There should be a PCB on your old Gigabeat battery!
