Conclusion: A must for the PhotoShare 7
Review: The PhotoShare 7 is such a great item! But, really, you need the battery to make it truly portable. When the battery runs down, simply plug the PhotoShare 7 unit into the wall and the battery will recharge while installed.

Conclusion: FLIP THE BATTERY TO INSTALL
Review: Flip the battery over. You must match the indentations so the battery fits perfectly. Once matched, the battery drops in place. The battery has a gap/indentation, this gap must fit next to the frame's connector. Don't worry, the cables will be long enough and will not be crushed. It is like a puzzle. Don't try to put it in in the obvious way. The manufacturer should have put a diagram.

Conclusion: Very difficult fit - due to incorrect installation instructions!
Review: Once installed per the directions, I found it almost impossible to reinstall the plastic battery cover. Worse, when I finally did so (with the battery's plastic cover plate bulging ominously) it caused the screen to power off. As other reviewers have noted, this appears to be a very poor physical design although the battery per se seems to work well enough. The solution however is easy - contrary to the paper directions that come with the battery, insert the battery such that the paper label on the battery is facing INWARDS (facing the innards of the machine). The photo on the battery directions shows that the paper label should be facing outwards toward the installer - this is INCORRECT! When oriented correctly, the battery fits smoothly into place and the plastic cover can be easily installed.
Include me in the long list of people who think it was a rip-off that this battery was not included in the original product.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: ill-fitting battery
Review: This battery is such a bad fit for the battery port of the photoviewer. The cover bulges out slightly once I was able to fit it in and connect the terminals which I think was poorly designed. Overall, not user-friendly and poorly designed.

Conclusion: Great Battery, difficult to install/remove
Review: I found that this battery works well, it holds a charge and does all that a rechargable battery should do. I also found that getting it into the player was difficult and I felt that I might break wires in the process. I tried to remove the battery once and I almost did break the wires that connect it to the player. This is the only fault I found in the construction of this device, though it is really more about how the player connects to it...
