lol BJ.....It's like harmony.....I gave my MVP to my brother in law a few months back and about a week ago he brought it to me because it wasn't working, and sure enough one of the two cells was bad.
The MVP uses weird sized cells and in general the MVP is kind of a pita to get apart. I looked at my battery collection for a minute, but then found a couple 1700mah cells that may fit with a DNA and some modding, so I gave up for the time being on restoring the MVP.
I still have it apart at home and will further investigate battery options.
