Batteries Plus frowns on re-celling LiIon cells (they do a dandy job on NiMH 
and NiCAD) THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES but they have been re-celling battery 
packs for my Nikon D1 cameras for years now and with a small amount of 
begging have re[;aced LiIon cells in several packs for me where commercial 
replacements "were not available". Each store is a franchise and independent 
so bribe (a half case of good Portland Microbrew the first time) and beg and 
they may help and if they do they do a superb job.
