I agree here...while it may be tempting to use a
"newer" technology battery, Lithium cells have a very
bad habit of exploding and catching fire when
improperly charged...(there are may reports of
batteries catching fire from popular phone
manufacturers and laptop companies)
I would suggest that you not persue this replacement
battery and just solder your own pack.
