I was wondering where you get the replacement batteries?
Ebay
its OK Battery TYPE AA or they Blow UP.. :D
Nice Work..
Well apparently I've found the answer to my problem about my laptop battery pack. Nice Bro!
If it is ok, can I copy the video. I don't have Internet connection at home. I am just renting in a nearby computer cafe. thanks
Check ebay for the individual li-ion 3.6 volt cells. ;)
so can u do that to any laptop cuz i have a acer and my battery is dead to so i was wondering if i can do the battery think u did on my acer
where can i buy the lithium batteries at? i have a medium laptop and it has 8 lithium batterie inside.
Hi I tried the exact way as you have mentioned but no use it remains the same I am not able to charge my new batteries.
Can you please help me
they can be bought at RS. How much time did it take you to do that. I would rather spend the $109.
good in this for laptop battery
This method does work, but i would hardly call it hacking, this is just pulling a battery pack apart and replacing the cells. if you get higher capacity cells (they might be bigger) you could extend your battery life even further. you just need the same amount of cells to keep to the same voltage, the MAh rating is your capacity, get the highest you can
Great video. I wonder if the charger will support higher mAh batteries. And if you must be aware of the type of lion battery: mine are ICR but there are other types. The one that I´m buying doesn´t have any inscription.
wow great idea dude
