[Q] nook simple touch battery replacement

[briv]

Hi guys. I have accidentally detached the connector from the battery. I don't know how to solder. I have looked for, but cannot find a replacement battery for my Nook. the battery is a 3.7V, 1,530mAh Li-ion battery (model: MLP305787).
Does anyone know where I can find one?

The connector pins are not soldered, but crimped on in any case.
Of the six wires, two are for plus, two are for ground and two are for the temp sensor.
The temp sensor is the only non-generic aspect;
I don't know whether it's PTC or NTC or what its curve is.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't know how to use the information you have provided. I don't know anything about crimping wires and don't know where to put the plus, ground and temp wires. I would need a pretty detailed howto to try this on my own. Otherwise, it seems a replacement battery would be best for me.

I meant mostly to get the exact battery with a connector and the right temperature sensor might be difficult.
I doubt that B&N supplies this.

OTOH, a generic lithium battery about the right size is probably easy to find.
You'd have to use the wires from the old battery.
If you were enterprising enough, you could even use the old temperature sensor.

I know that this doesn't exactly help you with your problem.
If I screwed up the connector, I would probably just solder the wires directly to the board.

hint :

ADB

cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27510-0/manufacturer

says that the battery for NST was produced by "Lico".

My battery is also dead.
B&N said they couldn't help me. Sic*

Maybe an email to Lico would solve our problem.

I think this is the closest one to ours :

There is this: http://sunpow.wordpress.com/2012/05/31/nook-simple-touch-battery-ml305787-dr-nk03/
They are here: http://www.sunpowtech.com/

It seems like a lot of their site is broken.

I wrote them a letter.
We'll see if they have these batteries in stock.

'Lico' responded to my e-mail.
They claim to have 40K " ML306787" batteries for sale at the moment.

I've checked the battery in my new NSTGL.

This time the manufacturer is "Mcnair"

It looks as if this outfit actually has them. At least their site let me add one to the shopping cart.

I know this topic is rather old,
but did you succeed in replacing the battery with the one on that website?

Thanks!

Has anyone tried to install the NewPower99 for Glowlight which has 1900 mah? The price is too high for battery I think, but could not find anything more than 1900 mah.

FWIW, I just did a search (as my NST battery seems to be draining very fast, I suspect likely because it is simply no longer holding charge), there are ads on eBay for BNRV300 battery replacement with 1900-2100 MAh capacity from US sellers for as low $14.95 shipped.
