For the risk adverse crowd they can always go to their manufacture's website and look for repairs and support sections. Then there are the independent battery suppliers.

My original battery only worked for about 20 minutes and died and now back to normal again http://www.nextag.com/SONY-750mAh-L...061/prices-html ------------------------------------------------ TH-series section (See next coment #2) can tell you better for batteries on that particular model. Laptops for less is another company that sells batteries but not all batteries are in stock. But as a general idea, most palm model batteries may be less expensive than Sony battery replacements (except for the Hong Kong website company) People from other countries like Canada may be closed from various web companies due to shipping problems but we will try to share as much information as possible. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is another battery replacement sample: Sony Clie PEG-S500C BRAND NEW Battery & Replacement Tools for Sony Clie PEG-S500C (battery condition: NEW) 3.7 volts mAh, Lithium Ion Battery Capacity: 800mAh Our Price: $28.95 In Stock 1/19/07 Factory Direct Same Day Ship (order by 3pm Pacific/6pm Eastern) 1 Year Warranty 30 Day Money Back Guarantee Safe & Secure Shopping Guarantee Quantity Discounts? http://www.batteryship.com/htmlos/h...earch=sony&lp=1 Notice that it says battery & replacement tools so compare the offers, see if there is a guarantee and check buyer's response if available. So far as I noticed is that handspring batteries can go as high as $50 and the palm v &Vx is the most inexpensive depending on manufacturer PDA battery for Palm V VX PDA battery for Mitac MIO 168 $33.92 1/19/07 PDA battery for Palm V VX $16.63 1/19/07 PDA battery for Palm M500 M505 M515 ICF383461 S3261 UP383562A pad $25.66 http://www.portablebatteries.com/pda-pda-battery.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- Zire 71 battery installation instructions: http://www.pdainternalbattery.com/zire71install.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Palm 3c battery see link: http://www.1src.com/forums/showthre...1234#post971234 Last edited by philpalm : 01-22-2007 at 11:08 AM.

Everyone, who have experience with his/her Palm battery replacements, please post away. I go ahead and add my note. For CLIE, you can get it from Sony Direct Accessories & Parts Center (DAPC). TH55 OEM parts number is 175644611 You can fine the TH55 battery replacement procedure in the same Laptop for Less website, mentioned in post #1, above: http://www.cliebattery.com/csk-003install.html. marcinm123 wrote a very detail procedure complete with pictures in this TH55 Battery Replacement thread. Before swapping TH55 battery, make sure you read these 2 threads: A word of warning on battery swapping Where are directions on changing a battery For more info on TH55 hardware, spareparts, repair, etc., you can always check this thread: Let's build "TH55 Spareparts Center" Here I have plenty of Y screwdriver in stock each for $6.00 including S&H. Forgot to add that you can test your battery performance first, if you are wondering whether your old battery is still any good, before replacing the battery, by performing Discharge Test with a freeware called Battery TIME 1.84. For comparison, some of TH55 battery Discharge Test results can be found in this thread: Battery life incredible __________________ Vx, M500, N760P, NX70V/U, NX73V/U, NZ90/U, SL10/U, SJ30/U, T415, T615C, TJ25/U, TJ27/U, TJ35/E1, TH55/U, TH55/E1, TH55/E2, UX40/U, UX50/U, UX180P, iPhone, iPhone3G Last edited by DanT : 01-20-2007 at 09:38 PM.

philpalm Registered User Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Alhambra Posts: 1,196	Battery extenders: http://www.1src.com/forums/showthre...ht=m505+battery Where the forum talks about palm power to go that connects to early zire and early Tungsten. On ebay here is a recent link: http://search.ebay.com/palm-power-t...fsopZ3QQxpufuZx Palm power to go There are also a lot of forum chat on homemade battery extenders but I think there are no recent posts and no one is selling homemade battery sleds Last edited by philpalm : 01-21-2007 at 08:26 PM.

I actually have the Sony CLIE PEGA-BC10 available when I travel to places with no access to AC power. __________________ Vx, M500, N760P, NX70V/U, NX73V/U, NZ90/U, SL10/U, SJ30/U, T415, T615C, TJ25/U, TJ27/U, TJ35/E1, TH55/U, TH55/E1, TH55/E2, UX40/U, UX50/U, UX180P, iPhone, iPhone3G

I believe the local Radio Shack and other companies will help you recycle Lithium, Li-ion and other batteries safely. Also any chemical leakage on your hands should be washed off immediately and don't get any of it in your eyes. If you are not a trained profession, at least try to educate yourself as much as possible before attempting a battery change. If your device is still under waranty it may be best to let the guarenteer to take care of your device. Good luck and if there are any questions or answers that you know of please post(BTW there is an edit button so you can change your comments later)

rowillia Registered User Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: San Jose, CA Posts: 57	Good thread...I've already had to replace the battery in a Palm Zire 72s and found Mr. Christ Short and his online Palm service options, including battery replacement, to be of major benefit. His eBay store is listed as "itsnothere" and his services can be found under Palm Evaluation and Repair. He provides fast, reliable service on a variety of models. I've had my TX for a little over a year and the battery has been holding a charge pretty well. But when it begins to fail me, I'll look up Mr. Short again!

philpalm Registered User Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Alhambra Posts: 1,196	The above post is a good example of what I would like to see. Eventually maybe this thread will become a "sticky" and there will be one for each category. If you post in this section it is helpful to post the url and any other important information (like when you did the battery change since batteries are "time sensitive" Thanks to Dan T and rowillia for their willingness to share.

Just Put here at 1src Modnar(almost a year later) One solution with good step by step details:

Additional notes: The Zire 31 has a soldered battery connection like the Zire 72
