The battery leds no longer work, but battery did not need recalibration; after rebuilding, the battery life display showed the same time remaining as before, around one hour, but it would discharge to zero, but Pismo would keep operating for much longer. Each time I recharged, the battery would show a longer capacity - now showing just under 5 hours, on a G4 Pismo 550 Mhz 10.3.7. That is with the lower capacity cells than the ones in the 7200 mah batteries - maybe 2000 or 2200 mah (cells are 3 parallel gangs of 3 in series)
Have not done discharge time test, will do and advise.
YMMV.

Hello all. Can someone direct me to a link for rebuilding the battery in a
Wallstreet?
Thanks for all the suggestions I have received from you.
Ken Vann--------- I don't think this has been done successfully. The Lithium Ion battery pack for the Wallstreet (and others) is a "smart" battery, with an IC integrated into the circuit. Even if you could find the proper cells and get them inside the glued together pack, it would be a real challenge to reprogram the chip for the new cells.
That was exactly my experience. I was able to rebuild my Pismo battery after
it went dead but the PowerBook never wanted to recharge it...
