I'm more than a little nervous about a how-to which advises "just try positioning the metal correctly inside the case with the cells."  These cells are much more volatile than the old NiMH or NiCd batteries, and results of improper handling are serious.  I'm not saying that rebuilding cells is a bad thing -- I'm just saying be smart, and careful, about it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff D]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HOW-TO: Rebuild your laptop battery]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/how-to-rebuild-your-laptop-battery/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/how-to-rebuild-your-laptop-battery/</guid><description><![CDATA[Psh, they have a rock-solid disclaimer.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Samuel McConnell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HOW-TO: Rebuild your laptop battery]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/how-to-rebuild-your-laptop-battery/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/how-to-rebuild-your-laptop-battery/</guid><description><![CDATA[So how much did the new battery cells end-up costing?<br><br>-- Elias]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Elias]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HOW-TO: Rebuild your laptop battery]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/how-to-rebuild-your-laptop-battery/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/how-to-rebuild-your-laptop-battery/</guid><description><![CDATA[I can't find my batteries (GAPFH3) online...*sigh*]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Buzz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HOW-TO: Rebuild your laptop battery]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/how-to-rebuild-your-laptop-battery/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/how-to-rebuild-your-laptop-battery/</guid><description><![CDATA[The original tutorial is MUCH more detailed if you're thinking about doing this:<br><br>http://www.electronics-lab.com/articles/Li_Ion_reconstruct/index_1.html<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[someone]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HOW-TO: Rebuild your laptop battery]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/how-to-rebuild-your-laptop-battery/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/how-to-rebuild-your-laptop-battery/</guid><description><![CDATA[" If you have a powerbook like me, it’ll look like this: "<br>http://web.adu.edu.tr/akademik/uozyilmaz/rebuild<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[surfer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HOW-TO: Rebuild your laptop battery]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/how-to-rebuild-your-laptop-battery/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/how-to-rebuild-your-laptop-battery/</guid><description><![CDATA[www.batterysavings.com<br><br>Don't forget to check out our site for NEW SAFE batteries.  Battery Cells are typically matched to maximize safety and performance.  The problem is laptop batteries create heat and by "rebuilding" your own you create the risk of creating a FIRE hazard that sits on your lap.  Apple justed recalled 1000's of batteries because of this problem.   So I would beware and wholeheartdly recommend against it.

I suggest people spend their time looking for a good deal on a battery rather than a cheap fix for 10-20 bucks less unless you have a newer laptop.  Soldiering near LION incorectly can damage a cell internally, and its not like you can open a lion battery to see if you messed it up....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Peter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HOW-TO: Rebuild your laptop battery]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/how-to-rebuild-your-laptop-battery/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/how-to-rebuild-your-laptop-battery/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hmmm...
