I assume you mean like packs for cordless drills?
I've done it, but only because I found the cells that fit my Ryobi packs on closeout. Otherwise it's really not worth the work because the cells cost almost as much as a brand new pack.

I have done it required a special hollow post drill and you use lead not solder to weld the new cells into the battery. The official way is with welding torch however I used a air arc rod and the power from 5 adjacent cells.
It is extremely dangerous the hydrogen gas can explode used a fan to try to disperse any gas but it can still go so its a case of wearing rubber stuff goggles the lot and having water near by to wash off acid if it does go bang.
Would never bother with a car battery only worth doing with fork lift batteries.
The Ni-Iron are easy they just bolt together.
