Hi There,
I am aware that replacing the cells is pretty difficult, as you might need to reset the eeprom inside the charging circuit....but this is my situation.
Laptop A) Almost new Lenovo with 5.6Ah battery. Battery used not more that 10 times in 6 months, and laptop flooded. I have the battery which was not flooded with the laptop itself. LG Cells inside.
Laptop B) pretty old but decent laptop with worn out battery.
What if I get a new, rated 5.2Ah cheap battery on Ebay (20 bucks) and replace the cells with the ones taken out from the laptop A) battery? There is a capacity difference, but I guess it should work (and indeed, the quality of the cells is going to be different).
Any particular care I should have while substituting the cells ? Is it a good idea?
Thank i advance!
