Cutting pin 5 will not prevent charging...I can attest to that first hand. However, reconnecting it afterwards is a PITA. Mine broke off and I had to build a solder bridge for it.

To anyone attempting this mod with a fat 1st gen battery, put a solder ball on the wires first. I tried it backwards and ended up desoldering the resistor - damn near impossible to line it back up.

JayL - Where'd you get the switch? The smallest that I could find at radioshack today was an SPDT that wouldn't fit the battery case...It's just hanging out the bottom at the moment.
