Spare battery?

[zooster]

Guys, do you know if it's possible to change battery and where to find a new one?

It is actually quite possible to change the battery, however I've yet to find a site that sells one. I wish I could remember the sight that posted a tear down of the 8.9 . It showed that there was only a ribbon cable blocking access to it which was easily unplugged. There was also no glue involved. The back casing just has clips to hold it in place.

I've read a couple of websites showing the disassembly of this tablet, and as far a I understood it's very easy. But the problem is to find a replacement battery. On ebay I've found only 10.1 battery.
Btw do you know whether the 10.1 battery somehow fits 8.9?

Here's the teardown.
