HQRP 1100mAh Battery replacement for Palm ZIRE 71 , 72 PDA + 2x Screwdriver and Installation Manual
First, the directions were not at all clear for locating the screws in my Zire 72. After reading other directions on-line, I managed to open the case. I was then able to replace the battery. However, when I started to close the case, the unit turned on by accident, and the screen burned out before my eyes! My unit is now useless. I have no idea why this happened, but I wouldn't recommend trying this without technical expertise!

I purchased this battery / torx driver / manual with a bit of skepticism. 10.00 for a battery that's 50.00 everywhre else.
My overall experience
1) Initial -
My product came with 2 torx drivers ( T-5 & T-6 drivers ) - and my palm Zire 72 had 2 different screw sizes ( T-5 and Philips 00 size ). Neither of the included screwdrivers fit my Palm device's screws - so I had to get an inexpensive multi-bit mini driver set from Harbor Freight. Their T-5 driver should have worked - but was too large - the T-5 bit I got in multi-bit set worked perfectly.
2) Installattion - the instructions were pretty clearly written - but I did find it helpful to search online to get some more detailed photos of my device being opened. It was a bit tricky getting the case apart - I was concerned it might break - but the additional photos I found online gave me a better idea of how the case was attached toward the top of my Palm Zire 72 and worked the case apart without breaking anything.
3) The OEM battery was glued into my device - had to pry it slightly but was pretty simple. After the new battery is out - new one is put in with ease. I borrowed the adhesive from my old battery to affix new battery into the case for re-assembly. Closing the case was also a bit tricky but closeable.
4) Battery impressions - it works great. I've had mine for 2 months and it holds a charge way longer than the original battery which had a lower mah rating.
Overall - I'd recommend this battery for a Palm Zire 72 replacement - just know that it's not as simple as removing a cover - and replacing the batteries in your remote. A bit of patience and mechanical inclination helps - and having a set of precision screwdrivers which can be found online pretty cheap might be needed.

I change my Palm Battery, but the screwdriver doesn`t be the correct size, so i used another one. But the battery work excellent.
