After 7 years of flawless performance, it seems that the battery of my Sony PRS-505 has finally died.

I've been looking for battery replacement options. I found a battery replacement kit (brand newpower99) that looks good, but for whatever reason they won't ship to Argentina. Amazon also sells this kit, but for what I know they ship with FedEx, a courier that has very poor service in Argentina.

Right now, the only way to extend the life of my reader would be to find a cell phone battery that fits in the PRS-505 battery compartment. It's a standard 3.7 Li battery, so I think it should work.

Has anybody here used a cell phone battery to replace the original one? If so, which one? Does anybody know the original battery size?
