Read another thread here that describes the IC and charging software. There are even 2 patches that has not been modified for new batteries.
Dr-Frosk-dk use separate chargers and test the batteries with special hardware and software. When the N900 was released, the capacity for the rechargeble AA batteries were 1200mA. I recently bought rechargeable AA batteries with 2700mA. Read Dr-Frosk-dk properly, and not just what you want to read.
If you disregard the price, and willing to pay the 10A battery for the N900 is fully possible, so be very careful with claims,

In many phones, this chip would be integrated into the battery, which has a number of benefits, from more rapid temperature sensing of potentially dangerous conditions in the battery, to being able to swap the battery, and have the swapped batteries charge accurately measured instantly.
The N900 integrates this chip onto the motherboard.

well, i boughtit and can recommend it. But take time to search, there are some that sell separate charges for the battery. The problem is that the n900 will only charge to 1290ma and will then stop and enter maintenance charge. You can then remove it, and plug it in - or charge it while the phone is off. But the hardware will also halt the charge.
Someone should write a patch that change the battery capacity - it is not that difficult algorithm. The battery technology has made good progress since the n900 was designed, and 4000ma will soon be available. The charger is software, its described here. My mac has a similar chip fitted in the battery which makes it impossible to recover a deflated battery.
So, if you buy the battery you have to buy a separate charger to get it charged above 1280ma... But the phone lasts at least 50% longer than on the old battery.
