Li-Ions need controlled charging and contain custom-made chips integrated into the package.  That's the reason you can't buy AA shaped Li-Ions - you can't have a universal charger and someone is sure to plug it into something and cause it to explode.  Hell, even people who know (or should know) what they're doing like guys who are actually making them (e.g. Sony) have failed to make them foolproof in controlled conditions on multiple occasions.  I'd not mess with Li-Ions.<br><br>Ni-Mh is another story, stack'em up as you want.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andrew]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 2nd 2009 2:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/02/modder-crafts-homemade-12-cell-battery-for-eee-doubles-stock-ba/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/02/modder-crafts-homemade-12-cell-battery-for-eee-doubles-stock-ba/</guid><description><![CDATA[What's with the bolts on the back of the screen?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[be82453]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 2nd 2009 9:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/02/modder-crafts-homemade-12-cell-battery-for-eee-doubles-stock-ba/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/02/modder-crafts-homemade-12-cell-battery-for-eee-doubles-stock-ba/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think he's going for the Frankenstein look.<br><br>That's hot.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ILoveApple]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 2nd 2009 9:31AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/02/modder-crafts-homemade-12-cell-battery-for-eee-doubles-stock-ba/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/02/modder-crafts-homemade-12-cell-battery-for-eee-doubles-stock-ba/</guid><description><![CDATA[They're not bolts.<br>It looks like two BNC terminals, no doubt for sticking on a pair of external aerials to improve the WiFi connection (there are a few threads about that mod on the Eee forum that this is from).
