Hi! I have done a battery renewing for my Lib110 with 6 new Li-Ion cells. Although it was a success and I have a working battery now, I wouldn't repeat it! According to my experiences it is impossible to open a battery pack without visible scratches or cracks. I also tried to take 2 dead packs, where I cutted off upper part on one and the lower part on the other - to work out the other half unbroken. This gave better results, but is also not perfect. The packs are designed and glued in a way that it makes impossible to separate the two halves without signes! The other thing are the welded contacts. Without a special welding equipement (which I do not have) the only way is to solder the contacts with wires. I tried to use thin (but not too thin!) wires, I grinded it flat, but the batterys need still 1 mm more space inside - and this space is not available. I tried to grind away some plastic, but there is not much.... So on the left and right side the renewed pack is still a litle bit bulgy. I don't know the english expression for this, but in german we say it's a Pfusch.... regards Gerhard _________________________________________ Gerhard Kapusta Fax&Voicebox: +4989-1488201115
