    Replacing notebook battery cells

    I just bought a used Dell notebook computer on EBay. The previous owner indicated that the battery is shot. I found a web page that sells the cells for the specific battery in this notebook which are much cheaper than a completely new battery. By "cells" I mean the actual batteries inside of the plastic battery housing. The question is whether it is practical to crack upon the old battery housing and replace the old cells with new ones. Has anyone done this? Thanks.
