Palm Vx battery replacement

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

Can someone point me to a specification faq or the like on replacement
batteries for Palm Vx units? Palmone does not appear to have the specs
available online. The ones I see advertised online are generally rated
3.7V 650mah for V/Vx units. I am under the impression that the V and Vx
handhelds use different batteries. I already know how to open them up
(carefully, with a heat gun).

I am not connected with this site but have used this routine to give
some extra life to my Vx battery (not the week it started with though)
