Rebuilding Batteries

We've discussed on this list before the rebuilding of Duo batteries. I've 
lost those emails, and the bookmarks. But here is a page about it:

So, if I dared do this, I might be able to have a usable battery for my 
280c....

Would it be a fortune? I haven't priced the inner-batteries yet.

I'd be curious to hear again from those who've rebuilt their batteries. 
Obviously Mike might find this interesting, too.

I have no problem with the useless battery in my current Duo. But perhaps 
I'll hollow one of them out to make the Duo lighter when travelling. (I 
just plug the thing in wherever I can - even on a train!) It does seem 
heavy for its size, though I know it's light by laptop standards.
