T60 Battery "irrepairable error message"

[droopy128]

I got a T60 which have been sitting for over atleast few months, and now the battery is totally drained and will freeze/hang if plug in into wall outlet with battery attached.

Have anyone attempt to rebuild the battery before? I also check with IBM site and serial # on the battery is not on the warranty list. I want to break it apart, not so about saving $ rather just something am curious about doing, probably cost just as much or more to rebuild it myself.

The message means that the battery is irreparably dead. Buying a new one, not those so-called OEM/compatible battery on ebay, is the only choice.
