I've got the original (non-HD) GoPro which only takes AAA batteries. Doesn't last long with Alkaline or even Nmh out in the cold and Lithium's are super expensive. Sooo, thinking of using a flat 3.7V lithium-ion rechargeable from my a point and shoot camera, solder leads on it and velcro/strap it to the outside of the waterproof case, drill a hole and seal the wires though the case then use 3/8 wooden dowel as dummy batteries to make the connection inside the GoPro. Has anyone soldered to a battery before? Yah I know don't want to heat it up too much! Going to throw on the faceshield, gloves and give it a shot tomorrow, wish me luck!
