Screen forced up by swollen battery (?)

Do you happen to know the dimensions of the battery? I know the thickness will be off considering yours bulged, but the length and height would help search for a new battery. I have been seeing a lot of batteries on aliexpress that “look” like the size and capacity of the Cube i9’s battery. The only difference would be the voltage. Most batteries I am seeing are normal 7.4V, essentially two 5000mah lipo’s in series. I know that it states 7.4V, but wouldn’t a fully charge lipo get the voltage up to 4.2V per cell, thus giving the 8.4V that the stock battery references?

I’ve ordered an original battery from Alldocube. They sell it for sixty US for dollars, which I think is a bit of a rip-off, but I didn’t look for other options, since Cube i9 is my main computer.

Please keep us updated on your repair job! I am interested if you are able to A. get a quality battery for that price and B. install it and have everything work properly!

Thanks!

I’ve received a new battery from Alldocube and installed it instead of the [badly] swollen one. As far as I can see, the battery is the same as the original one. For some reason or other, however, I can’t close the back cover properly, perhaps due to the deformation or maybe I’m just not savvy enough. The tablet boots up normally, but I haven’t checked the ports yet.

Glad to know all seems well thus far… I only took a part the tablet once for the thermal mod and it was a bitch getting the cover back on. Between not breaking the clips, the magnets at the base falling out or in the wrong orientation, and the buttons on top… I do not want to visit that again for a while!

Quite so. I still haven’t figured out the proper position of the magnets. And I threw away the small pieces of mesh protecting the speakers because they got damaged)
