So what I want to know is can a hobbyist with a soldering gun take apart one of these dead Li-ion battery modules and replace the cells? Surely Apple uses a standard battery cell inside the module. I recall seeing an x-ray picture of a battery module once and it looked like it may contain parts that could be replaced. Has anyone here "rebuilt" a Pismo Li-ion battery? Or got insight into how it could or could not be done? I know I'll be facing this problem in a year or two myself. I'm hoping the battery goes before my AppleCare goes. --Jim. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
