I have disassembled both my batteries and have the circuit board piece as well. But I have some questions.

1. Is wire from a USB cable good enough to use to join the batteries together and connect it to the circuit board ? I will just charge through Nokia USB, not through a charger like you.

2. Once you have connected everything, how do you connect the circuit board back onto one of the batteries ? I mean, you need to connect it back to the battery solidly so you can sit the battery at the back of the N900 correct ? How do you do that ? or do you leave the circuit board flopping around ? Or do you glue it back or something ?

3. Is there anything I need to do to the circuit board or battery terminals before I solder ? i.e. i read mentions of using tape or paper or something, is that required ?
1) Yes it is good enough (the thick Red & Black)

2) Mine is flopping around, it is not going anywhere when the battery is placed in the N900, because of the battery cover and the latch at the battery terminals.

3) Make sure that you use paper or tape where the battery metal casing can meet the metal frame in the N900.
The Metal frame of the battery is +, and the frame in the N900 is GND

Again remember to fit everything as closely as you can or you can have problems fitting it in the N900 because of the length.
