<div>Chiming in late but, my course of action in this respect would be to find a bare cell or another battery like a Samsung that Ceri mentioned.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Then transplant the cell only onto the little protection board and ribbon cable of the original battery, the lipo cell itself will just have two tabs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I used to do this quite a lot back in the early days of coaxial IR helicopters, before quad copters became all the rage.</div>

<div dir="auto">The manufacturer of my phone does not sell replacemenr batteries.. it is a lipo 3800mah near square single cell lipo... How feasible would it be to produce a high performance replacement battery. Say out of a higher cell count battery with the
right dimensions or even find the right shape single cell... Id need to wire it in to the ribbon cable that's on my existing battery. The reason for this is my batteries rated capacity is now at 1500 mah instead of the original 3800 mah... I have found and
ordered an AliExpress clone but don't trust either it's peak charge voltage or its actual capacity.
