Wow, what an un-elegant design, to put it nicely... Did they really think it would never require maintenace? Or was it just a decision in an attempt to keep manufacturing cost low? (With the cost of the display and the lack of large-volume mass production?)
I guess that is also part of the reason for the battery choice: with a custom shape, a MUCH larger battery could have been fitted.
I still believe with some dremel action a space could be created on the same side as the original battery, but in the lower quadrant. Looks like the board is mounted asymmetrically, which might prevent a battery to fit on the left side.
