looks like it. as for wiring the batteries, you will need a charge protection circuit and a smart charger, as well. theres links in hailraizers awesome battery wiring guide.
for connecting it all together. you will need to remove both power connectors, and wire em straight together.

with wire.......and solder........and a pinout or two.

the guide is in the reference section, under batteries. "lipo batteries: how to wire and what to buy"

he was just saying that it's not worth the money and not worth the size or weight.

I think it would be rad to carry a huge battery and a 360 in a backpack and use one of techknott's WVIs.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

but using techknotts WVI would still require the xbox having a battery if it were in an backpack.

if your after something cheap ,a dn dont mind your 360 laptop being a few kilos heavier and a bit bigger then sla batteries might do the trick, you can get them at 22 amp hours at 12 volts , the 360 most power efficient 360 needs about 14 amps at 12 volts and an amp at 5 volts , so 15 amps with a small 5 volts regulator, so you could theortically get about an hour and a half play with a really high end sla , id recomd the odysey sla's. there not cheap but there cheaper than lipos.
