story	When I changed the cells of ThinkPad535's battery pack as wrote, I was looking for a "CGR17670"cells , which was good for the battery pack at so many net auctions, net shops and Akiba junk shops. But CGR18650, larger capacity cells than CGR17670, or slim cells like this was applied to almost all battery packs and CGR17670 were never found at the shop, there were too expensive ones which was undoubtedly "the buy-up"(because the price was 2x more expensive than that at "Yoshino Electoric device"). On that day, I heard the information "There are some battery packs with CGR17670-cells in those of which was Sometimes sold at 'PS/2 PLAZA WAKAMATSU(the ThikPad Special shop in Akihabara)'" and I often went there and checked it out and.....I got this battery pack without cheking its FRU# and what cells within this pack.... After I got this, I was stolen ThinkPad535 battery packs and was not able to change the cells, so this cells were turned to be dead-stocks. And a couple of days ago, I bought the 3rd "junk" ThinkPad535MF9 for 2,000yen with ruined battery pack. So I cut off the pack , trying to change the cells. I think it was easiest in my memory to open the pack.... "Oh...That's just I thought." After taking picture for this "junk page", the cover was closed. Someone who has the "SOTEC" PC suitable for this battery pack, or is planning to change US18650S cells for new one , You can get it for 4,000yen....ha,ha,ha....to be continue
