Hello Folks,
Let's contiune with the project. Before I start to explain the whole exchange procedure, I think it's worth to talk about online ordering of these special components.
Well - as I already wrote - a replacement LiPo of 505060, 2000mAh would be the approriate to have new fun with the Pocketbook InkPad3 again. But from where to get?
A Google Search with "505060 Lipo" gives you more than 250'000 Results, a lot of them aliexpress, alibaba, pinterest, ebay, banggood - and even more trash sites, to them I would never send my CreditCard Details at all.
But the Internet is as known more then Google, so I found a trustworthy site:
https://akkuplus.de/
As I placed ma Order the 11th I got information that delivery will be delayed for 5-7 Weeks.
Frustrated I was about, I contiuned to search an found another order site and I found the following:
https://de.grandado.com/
I also placed my order and with the confirmation came back, that they have even more delay - due to the coronavirus and so on.
State today: Grandado is still on Status "Processing the Order", but on the other hand, akkuplus.de has already delivered the LiPo 505060 on 19th February. Great delivery time (11th to 19th) but the first order confirmation was little confusing.
So if anyone is in the situation to order battery compounds I can recommend akkuplus.de, and I think the battery from grandado.com I will receive end of may.
Next posting will be the procedure of exchange the battery.
Best regards
Matthias
