    • I've been playing around with my failing LGC 70++ 9-cell battery after re-celling it with SANYO 3500mAh cells. Had some great success with a tool called smbusb (got the battery to report as 105WH after a gauge reset in Vantage) but I think I killed the BMS eventually by flashing some wrong values and corrupting the firmware and can't seem to get it back. I've looked around eBay but most of the batteries on there are either for T410/T420 (yes I know you can make them work in T430, but they might use a different BMS chip) or ridiculously expensive for 10-year old batteries. So here I am hoping that someone here has an old, damaged, dead or unloved battery that I can take off their hands.
