I finally got around to swapping out the battery in my CAT
S60. The battery got all puffy shortly after the warranty
expired. The phone is rugged on the outside, not on the
inside. Kinda disappointing. I have since switched to a
semi-dumb phone for my personal phone, but wanted to keep
using the CAT S60 for the infrared camera and for testing
purposes.
Below are some pics of the replacement. It was more
intrusive than I would have liked it to be but at least I
don't have to worry about the battery safety and I didn't end
up with any extra parts (aside from the bad battery.)
