I considered doing this, but here in Australia I could not source a
small qty of Li-ion cells with known date of manufacture.
Example rebuild here:

Hi All
I have a battery in a Wallstreet 300 that I bought new about 14
months ago not cheap but it is a China unit. That said the battery
all of a sudden failed, it has one LED showing, however it is not
recognized at all by the machine, leading me to believe that it may
be a circuit problem. So I have a unit that is 11 years old and I'm
sure it's wore out, I was thinking to put the newer batteries in the
other case and see if it will work?? Anyone done this?
