Were you over here, I'd say take a battery module to one of Aberdeen Airport's helicopter terminals, and bluff your way to security, pretending to be on the flight to whatever rig you read from the board, then they would xray your bagage, you'd remove your laptop from one bag, the battery from another, they could swipe it through an Xray tmachine, ask them nicely and they might do it again from a different angle. Once it's been x-rayed, "answer your phone" to "take a call from your boss" and exit stage right "trips been cancelled".
I know that sort of "real life hustle" would take a bit of a brass kneck, but what can I say, I regard brasso as a skin care product
If you managed to bluff them into Xraying it from a couple of angles, say top down, side on, and screen shot, or photo the screen of the xray machine and I could do some digital witchcraft to dimension up the gubbinses inside the module, then armed with approximate dimensions of ths cells, I'm sure you lot could identify them.
Would a royal mail sorting office have an X-Ray machine? What about a Veterinarian? Or a Dentist? Or a NDT place? Or customs at the ferry terminal?
