Jornada 520 battery

[pepcied]

Can anyone help me find a battery for my HP Jornada 520 PDA? Mine won't hold a charge, and I cannot find a battery anywhere for it! Will other batteries fit, such as a 540 series battery?

Thanks, ED

I'm not sure if the battery in the 520 is the same size as the 540.
But if the 520 has 4 screws in the back of the case to open it, you can take it apart and check. It really is very easy to open up if it has those screws.
I replaced/upgraded the battery in my 548 to a 1600mah from the original 1000mah that came with the unit.

I documented how I did it an took pictures.

Go to this link and download the zip files which have all the details.

You might try in the phone book and see if there is a Batteries Plus store in your area. They have tons of wierd batteries, and might even be able to make one up for you. Might be cheaper than through HP.
