J, For whatever reason, this approach had not occurred to me.

While the battery in one of my 950s is, as you say, "showing its age", it is still serviceable...plus, I really like this 950 with its pasted on cover. This pasted on cover has already been removed and reinstalled once; thus, I don't think it would survive another removal.

When the battery on this 950 is no longer serviceable, then I'll decide whether to do as you say or otherwise just stick with my backup 950.
