Gigabeat F replacement battery

<< < (2/19) > >>

Phalangees:
Cool. Thanks for the info.  ;D

jac0b:
I am getting the below battery and testing this out.
1200mah 4G Ipod Battery

markun:
Goo luck! And please let us know how it works out.

There are some things to watch out for: for example, the iriver H1xx's battery can be replaced by a ipod 1/2gen battery, but the polarity of the connector is reversed, so pay close attention if that's the case here.

Mad Cow:
Good luck, if it fits then I'm getting myself the highest capacity battery I can find with that size.

I just measured my battery, it's around 52x35x5mm, and that's with me rounding up the measurements, so 4G ipod batteries should technically fit because there's still some room around the battery in the case.

EDIT: The 1200mah actually seems plausible, it's lithium polymer instead of the usual lithium ion. li-po is a better technology. But the 4g batteries I see have a 3-pin connector. Usually, 3 pins means there's a small PCB attached to the battery to prevent it from over-charging, which will have to be removed if you want to put it in the gigabeat.

Mad Cow:
Did you find it? I really want to replace my battery and I want to at least know the official specs.
