Hey guys. I recently acquired a laptop from a friend of mine, but the battery is missing. It runs fine when its connected to the charger, but this takes away from the concept of having a laptop;mobility. I have a broken laptop(water-damage), with a working battery but unfortunately its the wrong size. Is there a way to somehow connect the battery pins to my new laptop? I don't think I can solder directly onto the gold connectors, but I have a general idea of what I can do. Things don't always translate from theory to practical, which is why I'm posting this here.
Heres what I've got so far:
1. Drill holes into the plastic on either side of the gold connecter. (Not sure if this is a great idea, considering this is a battery

)
2. Drill a small hole into two small pieces of metal, and feed a wire through it.
3. Screw two small rectangular pieces of metal into the holes; Essentially 'clamping' the wire onto the gold connectors.
I don't think it'll have much mechanical strength, but in theory is should work right?
