Mine is now a 2 block pack :( . I'd need about 5 cells to return it to it's former state, I wasn't going to risk it with laptop cells in it.

Any of those tool cells going spare :)?
I'm on the lookout myself. The Bosch 2.6Ah Fatpacks are now superceded at great cost and the NOS sources have dried up. The aftermarket suppliers might, and might not, be using Konion in their Bosch packs. I'm stuck with having to find more to match what I've got, so still looking.

I have about 100 cells in total which I puchased off ebay from China when you coould still get them posted easily. I tried harvesting from drill packs but found it cheaper/more convenient just to purchase them new.

Actually maybe they are posting to the UK again. Check this link out for lots of high drain battery options.

You can also email them directly if you want them spot welded into a certain config.

Think this is the Konion

There is also a seller in Germany that was selling them but very expensive.

The 2 pack one now doesn't charge, well not on the original powabyke charge, so it must detect capacity somehow. Charger just flashes green. I'll have a look for some cells..

It can't detect capacity, but it can detect current. It might be trying to charge at too high a rate for two strings,
