How much its capacity is? How big is it? And most important what it looks like in the battery compartment? :-D

First build was a 3200mah Samsung Galaxy Note battery in the cartridge slot. This was nice since it saved a lot of space in the battery area.

Second was 2500mAh lipo (same as one from adafruit. I put this in the battery area.

Around 4 hours on the 3200mah battery? And maybe 3 hours on the 2500mah. I haven't really timed it. Those are just estimates.
