What kind of rechargeable cell do I replace this with?

[NuLED]

Hi folks,
I took apart an old iPhone recharger which had a swollen battery pack.
I am now, not sure what OEM product I can replace it with, or if I can even expand the capacity with a much larger battery. I don't care about aesthetics. I just want to have it working, and supply sufficient voltage to charge the iPhone and iPad, at a reasonable current.
Please see the photos I took. I had to cut off the battery terminals, which were flat.

Hi NuLED,

Since it is sold out, suggest you add to wish list or contact the supplier. Normally it is advisable to replace the faulty swollen battery pack with the same spec or equivalent.

Good luck.

You must stick with the same voltage, but a higher milliamp/hr rating(mAH) will do nothing but increase battery life. For example, a 2000MAH battery will last much longer than a 500MAH battery. However, the battery NEEDS to be the correct voltage.
