The battery is contained in a red plastic wrapper which is glued to the screen assembly. That's right, the screen. The Palm V's electronics are separated into multiple layers which leaves a gap for the battery, minimizing the device's overall thickness.
Now, whatever you do, do not try to pry the battery out. The Palm V's display assembly is fairly fragile and the glass will likely crack if you apply too much force. While you could continue disassembly and use heat to melt the battery package adhesive, I strongly do not recommend this. Instead, simply take a pair of scissors and carefully cut through the plastic wrapper without puncturing the battery itself. You'll notice the original battery also houses some components in a black wrapper off to the left.
This is held down by a metal clip at the bottom of the Palm V casing, but you can safely bend this up and out of the way for now. With that, the battery is almost free. All that's left is to disconnect it from a surprisingly user-friendly power connector.
Use your fingernails to wiggle the connector out of its socket. You'll notice this connector is keyed, so it should only go in one way, but for reference, note the cable positioning: ground on left black wire , power on right red wire. Plug your new battery in the same position and tuck it into the plastic wrapper. Even with this being cut open, the battery will still sit securely in place, especially once everything is reassembled.
If everything goes well, the device should power on instantly and automatically, booting into the setup process. However, you should turn it off as soon as you've confirmed everything is working. The metal backplate here also serves double-duty as a heat spreader, and the CPU can get pretty hot without it. Thankfully, reassembly is much easier than disassembly.
Test the backplate on the device to make sure it still sits flat, and gently bend out any warps that were introduced in the removal process. Next, lay the backplate down, face up so you can see the outline of residual adhesive. Apply some heat to melt the adhesive, then quickly press it back onto the Palm V. Continue applying pressure until the backplate once again sits flush with the rest of the unit, then hold for one minute to let the adhesive cool and harden.
When all's said and done, you should once again be able to use your Palm V independent of a HotSync cradle!
The Palm V battery voltage reports 4. You do not need to have the AC adapter plugged in in order to hotsync. The Palm V slides in and out of the cradle easily. The first time you use your Palm V, you will need to charge the internal lithium-ion battery for 3hrs.
It drove me crazy waiting those first 3hrs After the initial charge, you will only need to put the Palm V in the cradle for a few minutes a day to re-charge it. According to the manual, the battery will never need replacing.
When your battery gets low, a warning will be displayed. If your Palm V shuts down due to low power, you will have up to 1 week to charge the battery before losing all your data.

One is the onscreen contrast adjustment. When you press the button on the top of the Palm V, it will popup a slider that you can tap on to change the contrast. The other new feature is the graffiti trainer.
This application helps you learn graffiti by showing what you are writing on the display. Another small addition is the new prefs option to leave the Palm V turned on while it is in cradle.
The only other changes are small graphical changes to things like the hotsync icon, and the addition of the new Palm Computing logo into some of the different screens. When you reset the Palm V, you will see the new Palm Computing logo. As for the desktop software, it is pretty much the same also.

Fortunately, I also tried hitting All and that's where I found them. I wonder how you get things organized under Games Your OS information for me was extremely helpful.
