I've rebuilt NiCad packs before with a bit of screwdriver and razorblade 
foo so rebuilding a laptop pack sounded a good idea. I called up Batteries 
Plus and they said they don't have the lithium batteries for laptops (they 
aren't AA's or whatever) so even if I got the pack apart, I'd have to buy 
the cells off the internet, putting me back into my original situation of
buying from vendors and not knowing whether the batteries were going to 
last 1yr or 3yrs.
