Hi,
I've found a source of the battery (only large quantities from this supplier). Does anyone know how the PCB controller attached to the Flip Mino battery might be reused? The original is spot welded.
I'll bet there are lots of these cameras out there that could be saved if we could figure out how to safely install just a new battery in this recorder.
Here are the data on the battery and it's supplier:
Lithium ion Sanyo 553450 UF553450Z battery cell
Part Number: 0204-0019-00
Model Number: 1UF553450-1-T0423
