Extra battery for Axim X30? Looking for a second battery (Standard 950mAh+)

Title states my problem, I'm looking for a second battery for my X30 (Haven't recieved it yet but I know 3-4 hours wont be enough battery life for me)...

What I want:
- Ability to switch batteries once one dies and have 2x+ more battery life/day
- More battery life on a single charge
- 'Cheap' price (Inexpensive, but not completely cheap)

I realise that I will need a cradle to charge the battery and the unit with the other battery at the same time as well (I ordered the Axim Midlevel... not high), so I will probably have to buy that too

Final question: Where can I get a good battery for a low price?

Edit: Few more questions:
Are these "Mungen" batteries good?
Will these mungen batteries fit in a cradle slot?

The Mugen 2000 should suit you on all counts. It fits in the cradle that you'll want to buy, either when it is in your Axim or in the backup battery charger of the cradle.

I'm sure the Dell extended battery is great, too, but the Mugen is less expensive.

The only drawback of either is that they will not fit in a "normal" case. They stick out. There are a number of threads on this site about the extended batteries. Just search for "Mugen" (not "Mungen") and you'll find more than you ever wanted to know. ;-)

The Mugen 2000 is nice, and lasts a good long while. I assume the 1100 is the same quality for less money and less life.

The 1100 will only add about 20 minutes to the original 950Mha. I would recommand at least 1800 or more.

sorry to rub it in, but i just bought an extended (2000 mah) and a regular x30 battery off of another member here for a combined total of $30. Look around, maybe you will get lucky too. Try eBay perhaps?
