Battery
Since it would be nigh impossible to get the battery designed by Helder in the EU, I was hoping people could help me find a good alternative battery for the mintypi.
I know the Samsung s3 mini battery will fit, but I am hoping for a bit more capacity.

Re: Battery
Hey, I have been wondering this too, and asked Helder about it, and here is his response:
I hope it helps, I am also still searching for a good battery... Good luck, and if I find something, I will try to let you know.

Re: Battery
Hey, I think I have it! The battery of a HTC Evo 3D would fit pretty nice... 2.02" L x 2.01" W x 0.218" H (51 mm x 51 mm x 5,5 mm) The reason I came to this battery is because I saw a post from Helder, testing his battery tester, and saw a battery from a HTC Evo 3D connected to it. So I did some research and found the dimensions! Also, it has 4 terminals, which is necessary.
PS: real dimensions can be a little bit off, but I can almost guarantee that it would fit. For instance, the battery will actually be a little bit thinner, so under the 5.5 mm

Re: Battery

Important question!
I think that it's like the "Huawei battery" shown above, because Helder said:
I have done some research, and I found some other batteries which would fit better:
They all have 4 terminals. (1-3) means the first terminal is +, third is - (like the "Samsung battery" shown above). (1-4) means the first terminal is +, fourth is - (like the "Huawei battery" shown above). <- Means that battery would fit the best of that kind of terminal option.
PS, some names are directly the product code of the batteries, not the phone type...
In the case that I was right about the HTC EVO 3D battery, the Huawei CS-HUY300XL would be the best option. (1750 mAh claimed)
Otherwise the LG MS 870 battery (the non-extended ones) is what you have to get. (1800 mAh claimed)
I hope that this helps out a lot of you guys, so all of my research was not for nothing... Good luck!

Re: Battery
Remember that these need to likely have a spacer to fit in the mintyPi since they are shorter than the mintyPi batteries and the first pin is + and the 4th is - .
If anyone has these and wants me to test the true capacity send them to me and I can post the true capacity but the HTC EVO 3D is around 1400mAh if you go that route.

Re: Battery
I think in that case I'm going for the Huawei CS-HUY300XL. These dimensions are 58,3mm × 51,0mm × 5,2mm, so I guess that there are no spacers needed for this battery, or the cutout is actually bigger than 58mm... Anyways really thanks for replying me so fast!

Re: Battery
I think I might have a few not put up on the site but those for the preorder are gone sorry. I plan to have a run of batteries available for European countries soon though.
