Cosmo Communicator - Hardware / Re: New Batteries Anywhere? (Shipped to USA)

I was never able to get around to doing this on my two Cosmos so far this year.  I was planning something different but your solution is simpler and elegant.  Well done, sir!

I've read someplace (maybe on this forum) that there was a problem in the manufacture of replacement batteries.  The manufacturer of the replacement battery, Cameron Sino, has wiped the existence of the CS-PLX600SL from their website.  I am wondering if that is why Planet Computers is so strict on these batteries as the original supply they have is slowly drying up.  I have two Cosmos and one of them, the battery is "puffy" and the other's longevity is getting very short.  There are folks that want new batteries for their Geminis too.

I've seen the pin out for the connector on the battery and I'll one day find a source for the connector and rig up a different battery with that connector.  I guess I could even sacrifice the "puffy" battery and use that connector.  Yes, I may end up with a smaller storage sized battery, but at least I will have something that will work.

I have purchased many batteries for phones and tablets in the past, so their excuse of shipping them is "forbidden" is very shaky at best.  Because of this, I won't buy an Astro Slide.  Besides the great keyboard, I bought this phone because I could change the battery when necessary.  So much for that...
