Has anyone personally successfully rebuilt an Anafi battery?

I just ordered cells from Aliexpress and expect to rebuild the batteries when they arrive. With the clogged shipping, maybe late November or December.

Has anyone successfully done this themselves? Does the controller need to be kept alive or can power be disconnected? I am interested in 1st person knowledge if anyone has done this themselves.

Are there any other likely issues with just swapping the cells? My plan with the larger cells is to try to fit them in with a 3d printed case. The length is similar to the OEM abut they are wider.

Thanks!

Some useful links:

Hi,

There is a US store selling equivalent Parrot Anafi batteries for a nominal fee.
I fear I am too frugal to spend $134.
Bestbuy is $99 for an OEM: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/battery-for-parrot-anafi/6269227.p?skuId=6269227
Amazon is $99 for 3rd party: Amazon.com: 2700mAh 7.6V 20.52Wh Lipo Upgrade Battery Drone Replacement Smart Battery for Parrot Anafi, 1 Pack, Dark Grey : Toys & Games
Walmart/3rd party seller is $87: Robot or human?
Aliexpress is $65 shipped: 59.39US $ 31% OFF|7.6V 2700mAh 20.52Wh lithium battery for Parrot Anafi Battery High quality remote control for 7.6v drone battery|Parts & Accessories| - AliExpress

The rub really is that the internal cells (if you can find them) are about $10 if you can use a soldering iron. Me? I have some cells and a soldering iron but I just bought 6 used batteries, 4 in good shape, so the project went to the back burner.

Good luck!
