Ed:
If you do this I would like to see the end result, maybe at Maidenfest when I come out of hibernation. Found an MZ and for now I ordered the ebay bats figuring if I have 6 I can last longer than long enough for anything life throws my way.

I was thinking of putting in a lipo, but I did not want to cut the radio.
Most of it is unscrewing parts, the PART of the batt compartment which has the two connecting pins Neg. & Positive That one wall I moved out of the way, the wires that go to it are long enough to do so. Solder your connector behind it.
I used hot glue to hold it in place, and used hot glue to insulate parts to be sure of no shorting.
And the plug for the batt.
I should mention, I also glued in magnets to keep the door closed, the lip that normally keeps it closed is lost in the process. You can see it in the previous pic I posted.
