Hailrazer's - Archos GamePad Larger Battery Mod

[DaRkTrAzZ]

I'm in the united states. O__O "

I snagged my gamepad from buydig.com (snail mail shipping, aka 7 days).

Any european who've tried the mod already?

I just ordered one from Staples.com (USA) two days ago for $110 usd and like everyone I'm worried about the 2 hour battery life and would LOVE to find a replacement or even an external "recharger" type thing that can fully restore the battery. I'd much rather just replace the battery but anything is better than stock battery life... Thanks everyone! ^_^

Hey buddies, can you open up the gamepad easy? Does it split apart just like a phone or would it be likely to break if I were to try tearing it apart. Hoping I could split it right down the middle where the line is but dunno if I'm going to end up breaking the thing. Also, when it is opened, am I going to need to sodder it together or is the battery just placed in?

Thanks,
Alan
