Hi, With my FP1 coming to its end, I am looking at how to reuse its hardware as much as possible. One element is the battery. I currently have 2 batteries for the FP1: the one that came with the phone and an additional (official FP) battery I bought later. I would like to reuse that for other elec…

Hi, Giovanni, I am sorry but the batteries are still in use and already reserved for another future project. However, as this battery-issue seams to be quite a common problem, let’s think outside the box and try to find another solution for this? Why not design a adaptor for a (smaller) Li-Ion…

Hi Kristoff, yes, I think this could be a good idea. The first piont would be to focus a product already on market with the right electrical features. Do you have something in mind already? Thank you, Giovanni. Giovanni Angeli
