My S4 Mini battery is to big for the MintyPi 3.0 :(

Post by magnurpai » Thu Jul 18, 2019 8:33 am

So, I finally got all the parts and tools I needed for building my MintyPi 3.0.
I started building and soldering it last night, but everything came to a stop when I tried to fit the battery.

I am situated in Norway, so I could not get my hands on the Helder battery, and had to go online to shop the
S4 Mini battery that was recommended for people situated outside of the US. The recommendation also said that
the maximum dimensions for the battery should be 51mm x 58mm x 5mm. The S4 Mini battery I got was way longer/taller.
My battery (B500BE 1900mAh) is 51mm x 69mm x 5mm.

All the websites I have found that sells batteries do not include measurements of its dimensions.

So my question is, what 4-pin battery should I buy that fits for the MintyPi 3.0 project?

According to helders page this is the battery, CS-HUY300XL, which is different from what you ordered. This thread might have some helpful information: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=7128#p68598

You can also check Galaxy Gaming, based in the UK, they sell the same batteries from Helder, maybe they ship to Norway?
