This is very interesting and I didn't know until now that the physical limitations with todays battery technology is 1400 mA with a battery of this size.
I have found here in Sweden a cheap replacement Bl-5j battery 9.98 Euro:

According to them they use Chinese manufacture (SCUD) that work together with big companies such as Nokia and Motorola. They also claim to use lithium-cells of grade A type and that there batteries have double protective circuits.

I am also curious of what charger/discharger you are using, (manufacture brand).
I am thinking of maybe building a better charging station using the Japod BL-5J Replacement because it seems to me that the stock wall charger does a fair job combined with the built in BQ2415 charge chip but it could improve.

Also I would like to know, I have learned back in the days you used NIMh batteries for cellphones you should always charge the battery for 24 h before use. This because the battery would "grow" and preform better, is this also true for the LiIon battery ?

And how did it go with your fuse ? Did you find someone to replace it ? If not you could provide me with a picture of the fuses exact location on the circuit board maybe I can solder in a new. I use to chip Play station one and have done soldering of small surface mounted circuits before. I guess you live in Denmark and I work night there so maybe you live close.
1. That battery looks very interesting but im strapped for cash right now so it will be later.

2. The charger im using is an RC charger, i am building a computerized charge system, but all battery's will still be tested with the RC charger or the results will not match up.
Im using the same charger to charge my phone, look to the mod pictures (Post #2) to my nokia 2mm plug that i placed in the mugen cover.

3. You can't compare something as stupid as NiMH to LiPo, you don't need to charge your battery for 24 hours like in the old days, would recommend a full charge when getting the battery, put it in the phone an let it charge full and you don't need to do anything more.

4. Well i did the bad thing by soldering a wire in instead, and this is not good since it is not fast acting as the fuse would be, but i have stopped experimenting with the USB since then
I only use the USB for fast transfer of files vs SSH, and since i have both BT Mouse & Keyboard i don't even use H-E-N anymore.
I would like to have a real fuse in it again but have not been able to find a replacement fuse any where.
I Live in Frederikshavn, Nordjylland
