thanks yea it works good i got bored one day and started soldering random things and it sort of just hit me of doing this but the battery dies faster so i switch it with a battery from a cell phone(i830 nextel) and i haven't had no problem it charges with the the cable charger for the original battery packs  and i get like double the life of regular battery's so it was worth it

Does it make any difference when the controller is rumbling.  ie. does it shake around at all inside or anything? or do you the phone battery strapped in somehow.  This seems like an awesome idea to try.

I imagine he has some sort of way of keeping it the the batt compartment...maybe tape

ive actually done something very much the same here. you will need a regulator to charge the battery, you cannot simply wire it directly into the controller. i used a pcb i took out of a gutted plug and play battery.
