SL5600 battery in SL5500
« on: June 21, 2004, 10:29:28 pm »
Has anyone tried the BL08 (SL5600) in a SL5500?  If you have, was there any problems?  If you have a leather case, particularly a Piel Frama, was there any problems with fitting the case on?

Thanks.

I haven't tried, but first of all you would have to file off a notch on the 5600 battery and then it would buldge out of the back considerably and the 5600 battery cover will not fit the 5500.

I've been looking into having a new plastic cover designed for the 5500. I currently don't have a 5600 battery, but if anyone does, could you let me know if it looks like a custom cover could be made to fit? I don't care about the bulge on the back but I do care if there is no space to have a cover that could lock into place without having to modify the 5500 itself.
