"Preferred Source" Do-It-Myself Laptop cells?
Unit is old and I have a brand-new doesn't work higj capacity battery pack. Time for my vertical learning curve. I'll do it myself unless similar scams exist with replacement cells. Guess they are ...

The encapsulation of Li-Ion batteries (which most of these rechargeables) are made of, don't lend themselves to conventional soldering as the other poster said. The tabs that should be connected to achieve the needed array--have to be spot-welded to accomplish this.
Lithium reacts to metals in many different ways unlike the ones we see in carbon-based cells. The reason it's made of "exotic" material.
The tabs are factory welded to the encapsulation using specialized techniques--some even use lasers.
I tried crimping the tabs on my drill motor battery only to end up having the whole gizmo (drill and battery) in the electronics recycling bin at Best Buy.

There are things you don't have to know how it works. The main thing is that it works. While some people are studying the roots, others are picking the fruit.
It just depends which end of this you want to get in on.
