 They only have one major flaw: battery life.
+The original Sansa Clip Zip battery had just 300mAh. (the original Sansa Clip had 330mAh)
+On top of that It would lose 2/3 of it's chare in just a matter of days of lying around without being used !
 Enter: My brocken previous Phone's 1000mAh Battery.

-Yes, it was that easy. All I had to do, was replace the Sansa Clip Zip batterie with the Nokia one.

 It was even beautifully labeled: Plus to Plus. Minus to Minus. N to Unmarked. :-)

 Obviously the Nokia battery is just a tiny bit larger than the original Sansa one.
-With a bit of sawing and filing I opened (read sawed away) the sides of the case and was thus able to squeeze the battery between the two halves.

 Last but not least, I finished it off with a bit of Sugru. The result may not win any design awards, but it works. Very well. Or should I say long. ;-)
+As an additional bonus, with the battery extending the length of the player, the 5 way button is now in the effective center instead of the bottom, making the buttons more comfortable to press.
+Update: Running time is now 30 hours and 32 minutes. Measured using Rockbox firmware. After fully charging the battery I let it play a continous mix of mostly highquality mp3 with a good helping of ogg, wma and flac media thrown in. Media was mostly played from 32GB microSD and some from internal flash.
