iBook A1185 Battery rebuild

Looking for thoughts on whether it is worth rebuilding the battery for an white iBook versus simply buying a replacement battery.  I've looked at several resources that show that the battery comprises six foil-encased square batteries, but nowhere have I found specifications for those cells, so I have no idea if the cells are expensive.  Given that a replacement battery is ~$70, If the cells are $8 or higher, rebuilding the battery starts to become a "labor of love" rather than a good economic choice. Feedback?
