More battery fun

[TjLaZer]

@Odin,

Maybe in NON US countries they installed NiMh from the factory, but every 2000, 3000 or 4000 that I have seen here in the good 'ol USA has had a leaky Varta NiCad installed, and subsiquently leaked almost always causing damage (in 4000s for sure, a 2000 survived with extensive leakage.)

EDIT. Oh ok I was right then, no NiMh from West Chester or abroad.

@x56h34:

I bought mine used last monday, if the battery has been replaced before than it has been done very professionel. The soldering didn't look like a DIY job, but ofcourse it's a very good possibility.

I went to my brother to replace battery in his A500+, and to my surprise, it hadn't leaked AT ALL! He is the first and only owner, for sure. And it wasn't VARTA battery, but GP, that must be the cause.
 
Its similar in shape, but doesn't say if its NiCD or NiMh.

Still, we installed Lithium one, just to be sure. Its a bit too close to metal shielding, but works fine.

If only I could find some hot glue to secure it..
Can you recommend me any type of hot glue and "gun" for it?
