I am happy to report that I have successfully transplanted a battery controller.
The patient had good cells, but the controller always reported double the capacity. CS declared it a "bad chip". I have another battery that was bloated when I bought thee bird used. I had taken this battery apart a while back to study the components for a possible rebuild, so it became the perfect donor.
From my previous teardown, I have perfected opening the case without damage. Not easy, but doable. Ask me, if you care to know how. I didn't stop to take pictures, but I can demonstrate with the other case.
