Don't let that dead laptop battery ruin your life. Repacking a old ibook battery with new cells is a easy operation. Within 10 minutes and $30 you can have a battery that lasts twice as long as the original.

  • Can anyone (Sklarm) tell me how to open the battery - couldn't find any screws or something, all I could do is ruin plastic with my screwdriver :(

    help plz and thx

  • be patient opening the battery. Use a small flat head screw driver and slowly go around the case just opening it a little bit at a time. This can take several minutes to do well, and less than a minute to just destroy plastic.

  • awesome ,will this technique work on pc laptp batterys too?

  • Yes, this type of replacement is almost identical on most PC batteries. Especially ones that are over 2 years old.
