Closer pictures of the back cover and chassis.


Also a picture of the EV30 battery electronics, for those considering attaching an induction charger. The arrows are:
Red: Where the battery leads are soldered. Clearly we can't attach charger there because it would bypass the safety electronics
Yellow: Snugly plugs into a socket on the PCB- no place to attach charging
Green: Where the plug is attached to electronics. Your best option.

Convert RAZR HD -> RAZR HD MAXX

Are you interested in frankensteining your RAZR HD to have the MAXX battery? YES, it can be done! You don't even have to remove the battery or speaker.

Once you have remove the PCBs from both phones, the back panels are an identical layout.

The MAXX back is slightly taller

Great job - Grant2..Jut a small remark: I notice that the battery is 2460 mAh in your picture, and not 2530 mAh as the spec suggested.

I think our right, 70 mAh is is pretty small amount, could be a margin of error?

"2460/2530 mAh (min/typ)" ... i take that to mean:

2460 mAh = minimum (guaranteed by the manufacturing process and/or quality assurance testing)
2530 mAh = typical (most batteries will have this amount)

What's interesting is the "9.3/10Wh (min/typ)", which has double the tolerance (7%) as the mAh (2.8%)

2460 mAh @ 3.8v = 9.3Wh


2530 mAh @ 3.8v = 9.6Wh

So I suspect that the package, for whatever reason, overstates the "typical" Wh slightly.
