    Out of curiosity, are laptop batteries always made up of a large number of linked, smaller, cylindrical batteries?

    I read somewhere online once about a company that was testing their hard drives versus luggage x-ray machines. They tried various positions in and around the machine (including sending the units through dozens of times).

    The most amazing was the one they duct taped to the top of the machine for something like three months. At the end, no problems.

    Indeed, a quick search with Google to find the article in question brought up a Samsung laptop user manual that said you should always send your Samsung laptop through the X-ray machine, as the medal detectors might corrupt data.
