I have just got an old iPAQ that no longer worked. After testing it, it seemed to be running off the mains adapter ok, but died when I unplugged it, I decided to get a new battery off eBay.

I fitted the battery with out any problems, charged it, and its working great.

I just removed the four T7 Torx screws, prised the back off (With care). Then used a small flat blade to pop the battery connector off the old battery. Fitted and connected the new battery. Then clipped the case back together, and replaced the screws.
