Using alternate batteries w/i4XX's?

Would it be safe to wire in one of
these batteries to a i4XX?
Keep in mind this is one with the battery protection circuit wired into the battery.
Also, I'm aware of the battery-saving motion sensing circuits, I just want as many options as possible.
Thanks,

Sure you can; but you will need a whole new charger to use with them also - and if your only using 1 at a time you will be good - if your going to use more, you will need to match the cells and charge as a unit.

Hmm.. that's no good then. What sort of battery besides the OEM ones can be charged by the phone?

None of them. OEM only. The charging circuit is built into the phone - and its meant to charge a certain capacity. It also has a "microchip" on board to communicate status back to the phone. You will get an "Invalid Charger" or "Invalid Battery" message - and it will fail to charge.
We offer special chargers, that will charger a li-ion battery, that is much higher capacity than the OEM one. The smarts are built into our charger.
Hope that helps.
