Rebuilding 3400 battery

[Opardalis]

Does anyone offer this as a service? I know the internal cells of the battery can be sourced, but not willing to hack my battery myself.

I am also interested in this. Is there a set of instructions anywhere?

It may be easier to buy a new one. PM me if you are interested in one for $75 plus postage, new OEM in box.

Finally got my 3400 battery opened up. Was about to buy 4x 26650 cells (3.7V), but I've noticed there are two kinds, one is specifically labeled HIGH DRAIN 40A, the other just says 3.7V 5000mAh for flashlight or other devices.

Do I want the high drain, or the non high drain?

Thanks

Following too - I just bought 8800mah (on its way now) ones and couldnt find proper info so gonna give it a crack - the battery is dead dead so worth a shot.
Cheers

So I cleanly got my 3400 Li battery open, clean inside, now I'm ready to rebuild with new 26650 Li cells. Question, when you search Amazon or ebay, there are two kinds, one specifically states as being HI DRAIN, the other not. Which one should I get? If anyone here has rebuilt a battery with 26650 cells from Amazon, which ones did you use?

Thanks

John
