Gigabeat F replacement battery

<< < (5/19) > >>

gorman:
Any news?  :)

jac0b:
Actually yes I do. I just soldered the Ipod battery to the gigabeat battery PCB and it is charging as I post this. So I will have some Battery Benchmarks tomorrow or the next.

Gorman, What is the biggest capacity Ipod or Gigabeat battery you have found? I am using a 1200mah Ipod 4G I found on ebay.

Update:
Below is the Battery Benchmark file. One question should I have used a album or is a 1hr long track okay?

Got a file size error when attaching the file. So here is a link.

Mad Cow:
So it fits huh? Time for me to get a new battery. ;D

EDIT: Just bought this one: http://cgi.ebay.ca/1200mAh-HIGH-BATTERY-FOR-APPLE-IPOD-4-Photo-MANUAL-TOOL_W0QQitemZ270166276052QQihZ017QQcategoryZ38331QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Hope it fits. What did you have to do to get it to work?

jac0b:
It takes a bit of soldering. You have to take the PCB from a Gigabeat battery and solder it to the Ipod Battery. Essentially swapping the PCBs. If you need a extra battery contact the below person he has Gigabeat batteries for sale. I used a bad battery but I also got a good one just in case.

If you have anymore questions let me know.

Note:
I am also preforming another battery benchmark tonite to see if I get the same results.

Mad Cow:
I'll just take the PCB off my battery, it's already in bad condition.
