Is it good to use with adafruit powerboost and fit well inside the case?

If someone could buy this and review it that would be nice to know what's the real capacity. The board for the one before looks nice too

I am trying to find a battery that will fit inside an unmodified battery compartment while getting the longest battery life possible and not spending an arm and a leg. This battery http://www.ebay.com/itm/221873382925?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT was recommended by another member.

After reading the comments on this thread, I have concerns about this battery since it is fairly cheap and comes from China. :?

I also had thought about finding a smaller (fewer mAh) battery and connecting two of them parallel, but after reading this post on Aadafruit, I am afraid I will blow something up. https://learn.adafruit.com/li-ion-and-l ... tery-packs :shock:

I was looking at this battery. http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-7V-2000-mAh-L ... SwwPhWjgi6

And as if that weren't enough, now I am concerned about getting too big of a battery and it taking half a day to charge. I just need a link to the perfect battery. :lol:

have a look at this:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/191812179799
Li-ion 3800MAH - but Output "only" 4.8V
dremeling the plastic parts away will make it fit in the batterycomparment!

anyone tested this?
