Thank you all. This is very helpful.
The gist of it in my judgment is that the re-celling of a 2400c battery would be slightly speculative, but worth the price of speculation in the case of something like a functional 2400c. I would not myself bother to spend the money on something like a Wallstreet in a few years time, but for my 2400c, I probably will.
The other option would be to buy new. I noticed after posting that powerbookguy has unopened/ unused 2400c batteries advertised, but he states that these are Apple-branded, which presumably means that they are old, old stock. The 2400c was, however, as I understand the matter, mostly sold in Japan, and is something of a cult item for Mac fans there.
We have, or have had, very knowledgeable Japan-based members. Are there new 2400c batteries (with updated management chips) available in that 2400c-blessed land, by any chance, in the way that there are new batteries with new management chips still available for Pismos and Wallstreets? I have googled but came up empty on this one, the language being such a barrier.
