Battery Replacement
Can anyone measure the voltage of the battery with a simple voltimeter-tester? DC.
Look for the battery that is mentioned here (US473850A8T) and is sold like 3.7 volts. It is possible that it accepts voltages from 3.7 - 5.2 for charge , or the Sony has an internal stabilizer IC to reduce the voltage from the charger (5.2 volts). All pages to buy this battery are in chinese with register. Here Sony Li-Polymer [ 3.7V ] batteries : http://www.mdbat.co.kr/shop/shopbran...=012&mcode=002 I think is only to drop the yellow tape from PRS battery and sold 2 wires (red-black) with conector from old to new battery. But the problem is to identify the correct model of battery and buy it in chinese. Battery from PRS-505 may be not equal to the PRS-500 as I see in this photos : http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2260/...g?v=1197648986 I can read only US32xxxxxxH And I cannot find none battery with similar reference. Although may be the same as 500 with another manufacturer , ru ? Measures from 500 are : (50mm x 37mm x 4.7mm) Here batteries from sony clie 3.7 volts looks similar: http://www.pdainternalbattery.com/clie/ |

Why not open your 505 and have a go at a volt meter and see what the battery is like?

Then why do you plan on purchasing a replacement battery even before you got the reader?
Its battery is fairly good and will last 1 year at least (it should last longer of course). Also before you buy a replacement I would recommend to get the reader and have a look at it and then decide whether you are good enough to replace the battery because the reader was not designed to have a replaceable battery, it means to replace it is not a trivial process. |
