Since I have seen a few threads on rebuilding lithium "smart batteries", I figured I would post some relevant information if you ever want to rebuild one and actually have it work. 

Once a smart battery registers itself as dead, it is DEAD no matter if you repack the cells. its still DEAD. the EEPROM has to be reset into an initial state, or cloned from a good working battery in order for it to ever work again. 

So, with that said. Here are some links. 

Here is the smart battery specification if you want to read your battery:

And, Here is one of probably many SOLUTIONS to reset your battery back to fresh factory defaults:

Thats a paid version, but I assume there are probably free ones out there.
