So I asked the company that sold me the backup battery (a little green thing with small leads and a nano plug) if the new battery could be adapted somehow. They said that the X51V had both kinds of backup batteries and that I could adapt it in place of the soldered in one, but did not give any further information.
Has anyone run into this? I am thinking that I should cut off the connector and solder the leads in place of the current battery. I don't know what the proper polarity should be. Perhaps if I connect the charger cable with the case open, I can pick up a voltage off of the leads, and then assume that the red one on the replacement is the positive.
Suggestions?

You can use your old battery conector to adapt it to the new one by taking it apart of the batt (never use a soldering gun on li ion batteries or the heat may cause them to explode
) so the only way to use the old connector is using super glue or somethong similar, be sure to first put the two surfaces (batt/metal piece of connector) in contact and then apply the glue OVER them NEVER between them or they could get isolated an no connection will be possible. REMEMBER the bottom part of the batt (no black ring) is positive and goes with the red cable and the ring one is negative gray cable. Last is to isolate the battery itself with isolation tape.
Hope this will work for you.
Just be sure to use a VARTA V20HR or similar please
