    This might be a silly question but can you put this battery in an external charger, like an Opus BT-C100 to charge and discharge, or must it only be charged via the onboard micro-USB?

    It is unfortunate they did not have a custom (shorter) battery manufactured for this unit. I assume they decided the additional cost was not warranted.
