>What do you think my chances are of using the electronics in the standard battery to control 6 cells (ie. turn it into an extended battery)? Alternatively, what are the chances that the electronics in a PA2441U (a standard pack for the Portege 300) are compatible with the charging electronics on the Libby? The connector is the same, the size is the same and both laptops are from the same era ... the only difference is the connector on the Portege is offset to the left (or right?) by about 1cm so the pack won't actually slide into the libby (but some dremel work or replacing the back of the Portege pack with the back of a dead Libby standard battery will fix that ;-). I thought about that change, since I have a low capacity batt that I would like to turn into a high cap one. I believe the low cap has 3 cells in series while the high cap has 3 pairs of cells in series. Kind of odd, since I thought that one should not put voltage sources in series. I will study the wiring closer. As far as the Portege/Lib conversion, study the wiring closely and the specs (10.8 V). I believe it would work.
