Not exactly. You can dismantle the pack, pick out the good cells, ditch the bad ones and make a new pack. It's much easier to do with NiCad than it is with NiMh, as they're a more robust chemistry. Right now I'm building new packs out of old Panasonic KR1700 cells I had lying around. I took a bunch of packs apart, tested the individual cells and am putting new packs together out of what's still useable.
