Hi,

I can't find the post about this. Where can I find the instructions on how to crack open this battery and put in Li-On cells? I've worked with soldering circuit boards and electronics before.

Thx.

First of all, welcome to Robotreviews!
Second, this is normally not possible. The Scoobas charging system is setup to use and charge NM-Hi batteries. This could damage Li-ION cells. The 450 may have support for a iRobot Li-ion pack but I’m not sure.
