They do, and they are.

I was of the impression the Librettos used LiIon cells which are a different matter 
altogether  certainly I fail to see how you could get any decent capacity worth of 
NiMH cells into the space of a Libretto pack (at least not the 1.5-odd AH or so of the 
original pack). Of course, you could always do what I'm thinking of and making a 
battery slice, that way you can make say a 4AH NiMH pack and run your libby for 5 or 6 
hours on a charge ;-)

Hiya

My L100 battery has gone weird. The charging light stays on for a 
couple of minutes then goes out but the battery meter says not 
charged. The system will only run on the mains 8-(

So I think I'm in the market for a "refurbished" battery pack if thats 
the consensus. Anyone in the UK splitting the packs and replacing 
the cells?

What is the size of the individual cells? New industrial NiMH cells 
made by GPB are available from CPC with tags welded already, 
from about £1.20 each. Sizes from AAA 44mm x 10mm to D 
61mm x 34mm. I guess the Libby ones are AA or smaller (50mm x 
14mm).

Anyone with further info about cell sizes please post here, or email 
me privately - thanks.

Steve Brewer
