Hi FG,
sure, your battery is gone, at least the one inflated. What kind of batteries do you have? If the battery are soldered directly on the board, you have the V1 , If the batteries are connected with a small white connector you have the V2. Because the voltages you got, I suppose you have V2, please confirm it.
About the battery replacement with other bigger: the battery charger is directly controlled by the firmware, and set as capacity limit 1100 mAh. Even you install bigger battery, you cannot be able to fill to max capacity because this software limit. You need to modify the firmware as described in the post you cited.
But caution! Doing so, you can brick your iLiad, and there is no support for restore it!
Is a very risky operation, please consider this…
Battery: I'm going to test some commercial LiPo batteries with version 2 charger, I believe that most 1000mAh batteries are compatible with iLiad.
In the meanwhile, I have some original batteries (V1 and V2 type) to trade.
Luke
