Can anyone measure the voltage of the battery with a simple voltimeter-tester? DC.

Look for the battery that is mentioned here (US473850A8T) and is sold like 3,7 volts.

It is possible that it accepts voltages from 3,7 - 5,2 , or the Sony has an internal stabilizer IC to reduce the voltage from the charger (5.2 volts).

All pages to buy this battery are in chinese with register.

Here Sony Li-Polymer [ 3.7V ] batteries :

I think is only to drop the yellow tape from PRS battery and sold 2 wires (red-black) from old to new battery.

But the problem is identify the correct model of battery and buy it in chinese.

sorry for bad english
