Would a battery like this be suitable? It looks like it has overcharge and discharge circuitry. thttps://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/speciality-size-rechargeable-batteries/1251266/ |

It has a cell protector, which should stop the battery from being put into thermal runaway if you overcharge it, or reduces the damage by over-discharging it. You still need to take precautions during charging, but hopefully the old phone will charge the cell quite slowly, so it should be OK - but I'd definitely do the first charge on something non-flammable and watch it carefully, in case it has an odd charging behaviour. |

Tons of places sell new and rebuilt batteries for that phone... Why don't you just buy one of those? |

All I’ve found is expensive new old stock, which will already have poor performance because of their age. Do you have any links to the ones you’re talking about? |

Thought I'd just bump this as I finally got round to opening up the battery. It's obviously very compact indeed with a thickness of 4mm too. I'm not sure an off the self lipo of similar dimensions is even available, I've been looking around and not found any yet. Does anyone know of any batteries which might fit the bill? |
