Re-powering cordless equipment

[whistler]

We've all got cordless equipment with bad batteries and good tool & mechanism. A new battery is expensive! How many have sent your old batteries off and had them rebuilt? I checked out on the internet and gave a place a call. There are a couple type of rechargeable batteries NiCd, NiMh. The service I used say's they use a higher amp hr cell than the ones that came in the tool originally to give longer use between charges. Anyway prices are still cheaper and so far I've been really pleased with my results. Might be something for some of you fellows to look at!

Reread my post and I probably should have added a couple of details.
You are required to pay shipping both directions. If I remember it's a flat rate and that's the reason I sent 2 batteries at the same time!
It has been about a year since I've had mine rebuilt and I have no doubt they last longer between charges than they did when they were new.

I wasn't going to mention the name but I suppose if someone does a good job for us we should do some word of mouth advertising for them. After all isn't that supposed to be the best type of advertising? They also have all or rebuild all kinds of batteries.
I am in NO WAY connected with this company in any manner, except they rebuilt these two batteries for me last year.
