You probably mean this, right?
It's a seriously interesting proposition, especially with battery cells like this one going for dirt cheap (with that store's new user discount, that would amount to $1 shipped - just insane).
However, does the procedure really boil down to breaking open the pack and soldering the two battery terminals to the metal tabs? Nothing more?
And is that linked battery's firmware compatible? (It's identical to the picture and description that geekmaster originally posted in that thread).
