[QUOTE=magni;249518]Would two of these work? 5600mAh total :O:O

Specs:
85mm(3.3") x 50mm(2.0") x 6.0mm(0.2") (same size as yours, but 2mm thicker).

I just did the upgrade to 3600mah and the unit is now charging. I did boot it up already and everything seems to be working fine. I'll be curious to see how much better battery life I get.

In regards to the old batteries, my measurements say they are about 6mm to 7mm thick, but remember that the height and width of the 2800 mah batteries is much greater than the original batteries so you might not leave any room for expansion with these larger ones. If you eliminated the screw pillars on the bottom edges you could give yourself some sideways expansion, but you'll sacrifice a little rigidity. Good luck.

I'll probably do it when my warranty expires. I'll use bigger screws and do what nekokami suggested with the plastic wires..

I think 6mm is pushing it since the cases has curvature that would make it a very tight fit. It may be more prone to overheating and other problems. So far, my iliad is still doing well. Battery life has dropped a little since the first install by maybe 5-10%. Hard to say as I have not used it continuously for a while. Usually on and off for several hours at a time. I am really getting some more use out of it now that I am out of town and have most of my books on here. Good luck with your installs and hope everything is all right.
