Any battery problems, such as over-charging? __________________ Sony Clie N760c -> Sony Clie TG-50 -> Treo 600 -> Sony Clie NX80, Fossil wrist PDA-> Sony Clie UX50 -> Sony CLIE VZ90 -> TG50, iPod 5.5 Gen -> Sony CLIE UX50, Sony PEGA-EB40 -> Sony CLIE PEG-TH55/E1, Samsung A900 (Blade) -> HTC Touch -> Palm Pre -> HTC Hero, Apple MacBook -> HTC Evo ->Nexus S 4G, Apple MacBook Pro I like iSpin, it's my favorite launcher!!

And of course if I can get them for discount ill be selling them to those who want them (will also be finishing up my long awaited EB40 replacement project after JAmerican tests and approves for me :P ) Laterz

I have an EB50 but carrying it around can be annoying. So I have just bought an 1100 mah iPod 3rd gen upgrade battery. I'll try fitting it when it arrives and let you guys know how I get on. I chose this battery as they seem to be easy to get hold of and pretty cheap so if I can't get it to fit it won't really matter.

Is your 1500mah battery the same one as the above mentioned iPod battery?
Did you find them for a discount yet?

fallingstar Registered User Join Date: May 2006 Location: Việt Nam Posts: 11	this is my solution for all clie with bad battery : try to get a big capacity polymer li ion battery, it must thin enough, with a side of length, width smaller than side of backside of clie! now , you remove the pcb board on original clie's battery, the pcb board on new battery must remove too, then solder a new battery cell with clie's PCB board! after all you must cut a backside of you clie a area with side of your new battery and use glue to attach new battery with new backside attach new battery to clie board > check clie =work good==> use some thin mica panel (width= depth of battery)to make a new case for battery==> use paint to make you new clie nice ! sorry about i learn E not well i will try apply to my clie nx80V first and take some picture Last edited by fallingstar : 01-29-2007 at 03:00 AM.

It was a bit of a job as the battery is really 1/2 mm too thick for the inside of the UX. I removed part of the battery compartment wall to get it in and with the case closed I have about a 1/2 mm gap on the right hand side where that battery is. You have to look pretty closely to notice the gap though. After I refitted the casing the cradle charging contacts didn't quite touch the contacts on the back of the UX. So I put a small blob of solder on the contacts on the charging cradle and it now charges properly. Here is the link to the battery I bought : http://www.mdsbattery.co.uk/shop/pr...epartmentID=189 The battery lasts for ages, so I am delighted to have my UX back in service. I have yet to see how long it really will last though.
