I am not sure what you are driving at, but I do know that the iPad battery integrates two separate 3.75V lithium polymer cells wired in parallel. I do not think that you could even purchase just a single cell and how would you know which one to change? I suppose anything is possible, even you can find the cell. But now you are stuck with having to mate the cells and to have a battery that is Frankensteined (or is it frankensteinerd :-). Why not just get a battery that is made for the iPad? Good luck and let us know what you have in mind...;-)
