Video: iBook Battery Repack

Our recent get together of friends led me to a epiphany about laptop

batteries. They are all messed up! One friend asked me about her

laptop battery which could barely hold a charge. Then another, then

another. I didn't manage to fix any of their laptops while they were

hear, but we took some apart to see what was going on inside. After

our friends left I searched around for replacement cells and picked

some up from ebay. Now with ten minutes of time and $30 of replacement

cells I can repack a battery. This video shows the process. I should

mention that lithium ion batteries do have the potential to burst into

flames although I've not seen anything more than a little sparking :).

Now my little ibook which could hold a charge for 10 minutes lasts

over four hours!
