Sorry, I'm not Mike... Confused

Changing the battery can be done but it's not a job for the faint hearted.
Replacing the battery for a larger capacity one may have repercussions on the charging circuit, I wouldn't risk it personally.

There's a description on dismantling the Go700 HERE, and some pictures on dismantling it HERE. The description is for removing the hard-drive but the dismantling is much the same. Lots of sticky shielding to peel back too.

Comments on another forum from someone who did it:

Ugh, what a job. Same as changing the hard disk, plus an extra 2 screws either side of the HDD as you look at it, then 4 screws on the base, then wiggling out the top of the battery cover, and sliding out the battery...wouldn't fancy doing that again. charging now: hope it works!

P.S. If it simply *has* to come from Mike, here's his topic on battery change for the somewhat different Go910 model...http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=395046#395046
