Okay guys, so I have an ALO Rx that will not stay charged more than 5-10 minutes of use. It is pretty old and probably has close to 3000 hours. Opened it up and was going to try and buy some new Li Ion batteries and solder them on myself. The batteries in it now are 3.7V - 3.4Wh. I am not sure what the 3.4Wh is, and I was wondering what kind of batteries I should get to replace them. I looked for some just like it but most of what I could find were cell phone batteries with more of the 'Wh'. Shouldn't be too hard to come up with an answer, I am not good with this side of DIY. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried contacting ALO? 
 
Maybe he will just replace the batteries as a mater of good CS.

mAh = Wh × 1000 / V
 
Let's call it 900mAh.
 
What are the battery dimensions and does it have a protection board "build in" (a picture will help figure that out) ?

Thanks for all of the help guys, the link to Mouser will be purchased in a couple of days. Also, sorry for the not responding, school sucks right now.

I have upgraded already to the RSA Protector, my goal in making my Rx usable again is to have 2 different portable rigs. ALO ceased to help me a long time ago. Anyways, thanks all!
