Glo requesting dimensions of internal battery bay

leftright · 10-08-2013, 04:18 AM

I'm thinking of installing a larger battery in my Glo.

I would appreciate it if Mr. Someone who has disassembled his Glo could post the dimensions of the existing battery, and how much free space is available around the existing battery to determine dimensions of larger battery.

Many thanks.

Just run your thumbnail or a spudger around the rear edge where the rear cover radiuses back into the flat reveal around the rear edge of the case and unlock the snaps and look for yourself. It's easy, peasy... You have to press a bit hard, but I did it with a closely trimmed thumbnail without even damaging my nail.(YMMV, I was bulletproofed and simonized as part of the job requirements for a previous career. We don' need no steenkin' spudgers!)

The specs for the Glo's battery were posted in this thread.

From what I remember when I took the back of my Glo the battery sits in a cutout in the circuit board and there is not much room for anything bigger to fit in that cutout, but perhaps there is enough space between the back cover and the battery to fit a slightly thicker battery if you could find one the right size?.
