Can I get a link for the shop that sells them in Germany then? I think I would do well to grab a couple spares while I can!!

The plan is for the Pyra battery to be compatible with the Pandora. It may be a tight fit and in some cases need a bit of plastic shaved off inside the battery compartment, but if all goes well it'll still work.

Then I better get a Pandora battery or two while I can.
I'm not comfortable making hardware modifications, even minor ones.

On the other hand, if you did, you might get 1.5 times the capacity.

True...but I am REALLY not very handy with tools, and I'd just as soon not try to make hardware hacks. Better if the Pyra battery EXACTLY FITS in the Pandora's battery case in the first place.

ED is hopeful that it will perfectly fit but until he actually gets some samples he can't guarantee it.

True...you don't know till ya see it. But if the dimensions are the same then it would stand to reason it would fit.

Hummm, on dragonbox site...there's TWO listings for a replacement battery...one is way cheaper than the other....is there some difference I am not aware of?
One is "Pandora Replacement Battery" lokos like 28 Euro...no idea what that is in US Dollars....and the other is "Pandora Replacement Battery (2009)" and is listed at 9.50 Euro...so obviously cheaper, but again, no idea what that is in US Dollars....
But which one is the right one to order, and why is one cheaper than the other?
Also, the Adapter...is that just for charging or would it allow you to play the Pandora while plugged into a wall socket with no battery in it at all?
I will probably also pick up a few of those all-in-one cardreaders...my cardreader is being syubborn lately, about time to replace it maybe...it doesn't want to read cards all the time, arrrrrgh!

The "adapter" is just the regular charger that can charge, while you are using the Pandora. It's most likely called an adapter because it's converting High AC voltage to a lower DC voltage...

Hey thanks for the Euro to US Dollar conversion.

The 2009 battery is just older. Either will work, but the 2009 one may not last as long.
Some Pandoras can be powered on without a battery while plugged in, some can't. You don't need anything special for that, just the charger it came with.
