Since my original Sage has shown a shorter battery life, I have ordered a PR-158098N 1500mAh battery for it. One friend of mine used that battery to replace the 1200mAh original battery in their Sage and after a couple of cycles to calibrate the battery gauge, they are noticing the battery life is ~20% better than when their Sage was new.

I'm curious: Was your friend able to replace the battery without incurring cosmetic damage to the Sage? Also, does the battery actually fit in the designated area of the Sage and allow the front and back to close?
So, apparently, Italy and Japan still have some in stock?
Thanks.
