Dennis Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Was planning to rebuild my Compaq Presario 17XL battery and came across this forum that was quite informative:www.farstand.com/cgi-bin/pcg-c1/Forum.exe?0148 Would probably cost me around USD 60 to rebuild the bat as compared to paying USD 120 or more for a new bat. Even OEM cost USD 89 and they don't ship to my part of the world. Does anyone else has any experience in rebuild/repacking their laptop battery? Would like to do somemore research in case I "toast" my laptop! Touch wood .... Quote
Twisted Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 I honestly have never tried to rebuild a laptop battery pack. Good luck with it. Quote
Dennis Posted September 18, 2003 Author Posted September 18, 2003 Yippee, managed to pull it off with no adverse effects. The new cells are able to last bout 3 hours (my old ones would die in 5 mins) and the smart battery is able to recalibrate after one cycle of full charge and discharge, in other words, I have a "new" bat for 1/3 the cost of one Quote
