Hello /g/entlemen. I've been toying with the idea of retrofitting a user removable battery in my Nexus 5. The back is just a piece of plastic that snaps on, so I could probably cut some of the clips off and notch the side to allow the backing to be easily removed later. Then I would use electrical tape to protect some of the open holes on the plastic shielding that I've highlighted in purple. After that I would need to find an LG phone or some other kind of phone with a removable battery, so that I could use the little ribbon cable that connects to the red part and then to removable battery pins (assuming LG uses the same main board battery connectors across multiple devices, or that a design including this type of flex cable even exists). Then I would need to get batteries that fit in the phone. The ones from a Samsung Galaxy J1 seem to fit well in the space in the phone, and the pins are on the right side, which will be important. The blue line is what connects the mother board to the daughter board, and with an odd sized battery I have to think about sticking cardboard under that as a support.

>inb4 buy a new phone
That's boring.

Thoughts?
