Thanks much for this info!The small lipos use their dimensions in their titles -- I have replaced some in Anki Overdrive Cars.

Model: 302025 032025
size: H=3mm W=20mm L=25mm
Also once you are taking the keychain apart you could consider changing the housing and thus not be as restricted to a battery the exact same size.
Thanks much for this info!
The battery in my 808 does not have any such numbers, it just says XI 16.5, whatever that means. It does measure 3x20x25. The manual says 200 mah, but most 032025s seem to be around 120 mah, hope that is enough. Nothing larger would fit in the existing housing.Sure -- and actually should have said part numbers, not necessarily titles.

You mentioned changing the housing. Is that a 3D printer project or what?
Yes, I also let my cameras sit for too long, LiPo batteries do not like that. You paid $50 each? Mine were like $6 each, and they worked fine. But I see that now the price has gone way up.Best of luck getting everything working for you. I would love to pay $50/ea for a few more 808's like I had originally.

I jumped in on the 808's in their prime, back when people would talk about the advantage of version x vs version y and how you can get one from supplier z and you actually got what you ordered (i.e. 10-ish years ago). I bought 5 or 6 and then took a long time away from the hobby and obviously all of the deeply discharged batteries were dead.
I found some battery from some seller and bought a bunch, installed them and went from 6 dead cameras to 4. I tested the cameras at home and had 3 that gave valid videos and one that never saved a non-corrupted file. I flew the other 3 and never got a good video again, as the batteries seemed to not be fully charging or having an issue in flight and the cameras were all off when rockets recovered and videos were corrupt.
My main recommendation would be to retrofit only 1 camera if you've got multiples. After a few charges, none of them would ever take a charge again, so I think the batteries I got were at fault and either overloaded the internal charging circuit or something. Sure, it could have been something on my installation, but I play electronics a bit and am not the worst guy you've seen with a soldering iron. If it were user error, I wouldn't have expected that much failure so quickly. . .
If I tried something again, I think I would prefer external battery, which would imply making a new case or using a traditional AV Bay, which defeats the whole beauty of the 808, where a bit of blue tape and thoughtful placement got amazing quality videos on lots of rockets back in the day.

Anyone know where to find? It's a small 1S LiPo, 200 mah. There are plenty of 1S LiPos for sale on eBay but all appear to be much larger.
Thanks, Bill

Same here I got into the 808 # 16 +10 years ago.
