[OB] Self refurbishing of 800CT battery (Michel Bel)

[david feldman]

While it won't help those in EU, there is a US vendor www.batteryrefill.com that has rebuilt two OB800 and two Thinkpad 600 batteries for me over the last few years. Their prices are reasonable, they are rather slow, but the resulting battery quality is high.
