yeap. not cheap. not ebay. only expensive, only real battery.


The other day I saw a documentary about Chinese compatible batteries, and it was surprisingly difficult to distinguish from the official batteries, but also had no means of protection circuit ... overheating and overload ... etc. ..

The idea is for the future, see if they dare to create official battery replacement, because I've read that the lithium-polymer batteries last for maximum 3 years ... due to oxidation of internal cells.

And for that matter, I have seen several pages "for sale" in batteries of all kinds, with guaranteed 12 m, ~ 1 year, etc ... that let you install a kindle 3, 1900 mAh battery. instead of original 1750 .-

now is premature, since still under warranty, but as time goes ...
