I ordered the new one here in Holland: http://nl.rs-online.com (search for art. nr. 446009). There might be an interesting alternative though: http://www.batteryspace.com/index.as...OD&ProdID=4358. Found this in an older Iliad thread. Looking at the dimensions i think it would fit at the top of the DR and because it's only 6 mm thick maybe you could avoid having to cut a hole in the case entirely. It would go on top of a small flatcable, i'm not sure if that would be a problem. I couldn't find this type of battery here in Holland, so i decided to try the Varta battery.
If you're going to give it a try, be sure to have a look at the older thread ( https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46869) which i mentioned above. It was very useful to me too (thx kleykenb!). |
Thanks so much,Sardy!!!!!It's going to be very useful!!
Since I am in america, It's slow to buy the battery from Eruo.
I prefer to try the second one. But do they have the same port?
I am also very interested in add a swith to the battery in case of leaking power(without reason) like you did, it's a great idea. I am going to find some more materials before I am doing it. Thanks so much for your help again!!!!
