Hi everyone,

The batteries of my Iliad(v1) died recently(RIP), and the device has reached a point where I don't find reasonable to spend 150eur more on resurrecting it. I know the batteries can be replaced. I have read the threads which show how to do it, and seems doable and while I don't fear to break the device, I would like to give it a try.

The problem is, I don't know where to find suitable batteries without paying outrageus shipping fees(I live on Spain). I have seen some LiPo batteries in dealextreme that seem to fit (like this one), but I'm not sure if the connector its the same or not. If someone could point me to a online store where I could buy them I would be very grateful.

Thanks!
