Hello Folks,
Here is my scenario: couple years back i bought a "Pulse" smartpen from Livescribe. Now the pen is dead (cannot be turned on despite how long you charge it). Same thing happens to my sister's. I searched online found out this was a very popular problem, besides that not much information. Only a poster on ifixit.com says he dissembled the pen, found a cylindrical cell that was hooked up to the PCB.
I have dissemble my pen too, and found its dimentions: diameter 11.5mm, Height=28.2
and there is a laser print on the cell says "GP1229L30".
=============
Now what i'm thinking is -- since a typical hobby charger charges a long list of batteries where the name sounds like 10340, 16500, 22500 etc., typically of 5 digits w/o letters.
I wonder if there is specification chart where you can find out about a typical cell, lets say 10340, -- its specific lithium chemistry, it's single cell dimensions, its nominal / max voltage.
I guess if i can get to these information i might be able to determine which battery my "Smartpen" uses and try to replace it.
Thanks a guys
