Gigabeat F replacement battery
jac0b:
Very interesting, but how much heavier would the player be?
It would be nice if you could fit a iPod 1st gen battery in the player they go up to 2200mah.

jac0b and madcow:
On the battery run time wiki page, could you swap the date formats you have used to year-month-day please? As you may know in Europe we use day-month-year not month-day-year as in the US, and so what you have put is confusing. To me it looks like one was done in September and one in May. I know you have just done them in October and therefore must have used US format, but in the future it will be confusing.
I haven't done it myself just to make doubly sure I'm not being stupid (but I'm pretty sure they are the ones you have just done :))
Cheers
Edit: I've gone ahead and changed it.

ordered my battery today :)
edit: ok, I just received the battery! My Gigabeat is charging and it all seems to be working fine.
I didn't remove the plastic but removed the wires from the connectors and switched them around. The wires of the new battery are a bit thin so I hope they don't get loose inside my player..
Because the touchpad didn't work I also had to bend the case a little. Might have to do it a bit more as the top and bottom of the cross are not equally sensitive anymore.

ordered this battery on monday, got it on saturday. it fit perfectly in my F10. im charging now, but it at least turned on..

Another thought. I'm going to replace the HD in my F10 with a CF card using an adapter. If the combo is smaller than the original HD there might be enough room left to stuff a battery in the remaining space. Wonder if you can connect two Li batteries in parallel?
