Do all modern mobile phone batteries have protection circuits in?
I was thinking of using one of the newer nokia batteries such as the BL-5K. Would that be ok?
Can I just solder wires onto the battery or do I need a connector?
I was going to use a a battery off batteryspace but it costs $60 to send to the UK.
Thanks.

Re: Mobile Phone Batteries
some cell phone batteries have circuit protection and yet others don't. Ladyada does mention a circuit protector you can buy.

Re: Mobile Phone Batteries
although the reason I had to go for a mobile phone battery is from battery space it costs ~$88 to ship to the UK.

$88 just for shipping? Egads!

That's why I didn't order from them. $88 seems to be the new UPS standard rate to the UK, thought it used to be around $25.

US Postal Service to UK for a Small Flat-Rate box is $12.30us.
A one pound Express package, UPS to the House of Commons is $60.65us.
Maybe they can ship USPS?

They won't ship batteries USPS. Only UPS...
But If I order from Mouser of Digi-key they only charge £12 (about $20) for UPS express. Free over £50. Odd.
