The battery on my solarstorm X2 (unsurprisingly) is failing to hold a charge. I'm impressed with the head units, so thinking I might be able to source a replacement/better battery.

Any recommendations for a replacement?

My Dad is handy with a soldering iron if building my own is an option. Thanks

found this:

looks like a good option, and I've had good experiences with my original smudge light, but do I spend a (lot) more for something like this:

Would this be an upgrade??
