DaveNetMan , your player should be using the Nokia BL-5C model batteries. There are many non-nokia branded batteries on ebay which are relatively cheap and could also be used. Have a search for "BL-5C" for specific results.

Regarding the 1.5V issue, the older S1 mp3 players (pen drive style) uses an AAA battery, so explains the 1.5V. The generic manuals are complete rubbish and should be throw into the recycle bin asap. Most manuals inserted with the players are not for that specific model.

The slightly newer colour screen players requires higher voltage, thus uses 3.7V. Either in the form of cheap internal lithium packs, or removable mobile phone batteries like yours (which are also 3.7V). It's an industry practice for lithium cells to be in multiples of 3.7V, although you can get customized voltages by paying more money, but this is another story.

It`s like an MP3 Player which plays Music CDs only.
