Can we use a different battery in the iNew v3?

[ahabec]

Kokuo I have a question: Did you remove just part of the plastic on the top where the contacts are? is it made of two parts? because Nikstar's photo shows it totally removed and there's a nasty part sticking out all along the middle part.
If you mod another battery, can you take close-up, still photos of where you "cut" the top palstic on the battery?
The bottom and sticker seem easy enough.
Thanks!

So I'm looking especially at the first picture you posted. I can see that the little indentations for the phone to be held securely (A) are still there.

Are the contacts now the color of chrome (or, soldering iron)? as in (B)

and Finally, is there no danger of the whole middle part with the contacts © coming off?

A = yes
B = yes
C = there are no contacts on the phone for those. No risk in my opinion

I have 2 Cubot X6. Once I'll be back home I can check it.
I'll let you know.

Hi,
I've checked the Cubot X6 battery and it is not usable on the inew v3 because:

1) has the + and - switched
2) It's thicker than the stock one
3) It's shorter (but this is fixable).

It's a shame because the Cubot X6 battery is a 2200mah battery.

Cheers

I converted and installed with success a THL 8W battery adapted in a simple way:
.Brand sticker removed
.bottom black plastick cover removed and then clean the remaining glue with alcool
.top part of battery scratched with sand paper till it fits.
The process of sandpaper the battery is : sand paper on table and screw battery up sidedown on in.
Using this method there is no need to remove top part of battery or desoldering contacts.

Test report... over two days of normal with games, movies, gps....
I confirm it a big difference.

Didn't understand what you meant by that (screw battery upsidedown on in).
Could you explain?

I believe astrostar means: put the sandpaper on the table and hold it still (i.e. "screw it") and then move the battery (the top plastic part) over the sandpaper back&forth.
