Where can I get a new battery for an original SPV?

[Guest rsbrowndog]

All,

After losing my phone recently a friend passed on his original Orange SPV to me, having upgraded himself a couple of times since he got it.

It all works lovely and I'm having lots of fun with it, but the battery life is a bit poor and I am assuming I need a new battery for it.

Can anyone recommend a retailer (or e-tailer) where I might pick one up relatively cheap? Are SPV and SPV E100 batteries the same? Any tricks or tips to "revive" my battery?

Cheers,

Ryan

For huge amounts of money I'll sell you mine, but it's second hand too. I've noticed increased battery drain since I upgraded to the French 1.6 ROM, maybe there's a better ROM out there, but I'm now recharging once every two days and that's not making any calls, just a couple of texts and a few games of solitaire.

Mind you if you're a heavy PC user then the best thing to do is get into the habit of docking your phone while on the PC and charging it while you work.

I guess the options are e-bay, an orange shop in the UK (HAHAHA!!!), HERE or something like THIS. I GOOGLED and got those from the first page.

Then again I notice that the price of a new battery is £50 !!!!!!! You may as well e-bay an E200 for not much more.
