You can get the batteries repacked if the lappy is a critical requirement.

"Smell the lithium"? What does it smell like? Electrolyte?

IME, you can probably but a new replacement battery pack. I have a luggable lappy running Win98 and about 5 years ago, I was able to buy a complete replacement battery pack. Now, if I hadn't put the recharger in a safe spot, i'd be using it for wifi testing.

Also really need to build a battery tester/charge for all those cells in the various scavenged battery packs.
