I just got a Clamshell with a completely dead battery.  I decided I wanted it to work, so I took apart a working, but used battery.  I transferred the cell pairs into the housing, and connected it all up again.  It isn't perfect, and the housing is held together with electrical tape, but boy, does it work!  4.5 hours of battery life!  WOO!
