I used the flicker pictures and instructions (above)

and a battery (which comes with all the tools you need for the job) from BatteryShip.com

Thoughts:
I used a chopstick on step 6 to gently push out the innards.

You could definitely fit a larger battery (in all dimensions) if you didn’t use the battery tray and just glued the battery onto the back of the screen.

Go slow and don’t force anything. I’ll post if the battery life is unexpected.
So is the new battery functioning well?
