A thought.... If you could find a 5mm thick hard disk (like the one in the F41) and put it in the F40 you would have 3mm of space between the battery and the back case. That might be enough room for a much larger battery, maybe even a 3500ma/h unit. Assuming you could snake the battery cable around the circuit board to the other side.
Mad Cow:
I've though about that too. You could easily fit 2 batteries behind a thinner hard disk, but it would be hard to connect them to the terminal. The pins on the battery connector on the PCB don't reach the hard drive said, and it would be hard to bring them to the other side, not not impossible. The PCB has 4 places that you could fit the wires through with some PCB trimming. You can see them clearly in this picture :http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/viewfile/Main/GigabeatInfo?rev=1.1;filename=2.jpg (the 2 cutout parts on the bottom)
