guys this is my first tutorial...so please bear with me ;)

my 2 yr old gene needed a battery change as it could give a backup of 15 mins only....and the new battery cost around INR 1000.....while going thru my junks i found a nokia cellphone which i used rarely and it had a new battery in it...an idea popped in my mind. the idea was to change the cell and replace it with the nokia cell...after inspecting both the batteries carefully...the body structure were almost identical in shape and size though the nokia cell was a little slimmer than gene's sanyo cell...the specs of gene battery "Sanyo Model:WIZA16" and the nokia battery "BL-5c" were

Sanyo Model WIZA16 :3.7VDC 1250mAH li-ion battery
BL-5c: 3.7VDC 1220mAH li-ion battery
