Hi Brian,

What do you mean by "matched"?

Note: All the existing electronic circuitry for the Lenovo x61 tablet
laptop lithium Ion battery is intact.

The only thing we're changing out is old cells for new cells.

What do you mean by "matching"?



the charge levels and voltage at full charge have to be close to equal.
If one cell is at a lower charge level,it will run out first,then REVERSE
charge,damaging that cell.Possibly shorting,exploding,or starting a fire.
