wow, great find. Although from looking at it, I suspect that an additional piece is required, some kind of threaded part that would go on the back of the motherboard hole. And you'd need a screw. The technical drawings (from your...

Just a little update, in case this helps others. I did get a new generic main battery from amazon and it charges and works fine. The existing main battery seems to have stabilized but only lasts 30 min. The extended piggyback...

Just an update -- I did get a new primary battery from amazon, which works fine and last about 2:30 hours. The problem now is that it's thicker than the OEM and doesn't fit on the docking station correctly. $&#@ing generic...
