I have a perfectly good Bosch 18-volt model 3850 cordless drill that I
bought new for $200 in June 2000 at a closeout sale that is getting weak
as the batteries wear out. *The batteries (model 2 610995 894) are NiMH
construction.

Bosch sells replacement batteries for $120 list each, and I need two.

But $240 is a good fraction of the price to simply buy another cordless
drill, so Bosch batteries are not going to happen.

There was a company that rebuilds tool batteries for far less. *Who was
it?

There was a thread about this on Mar 18th [2011]. Link:

I did recall that there was such a thread, but didn't recall enough to
find it, but you did recall. For the record, the subject was "Sawsall
batteries" and the thread started on 17 March 2011 (for when the tiny
url quits working.)

Thanks,

Ive used Batteries Plus a fair number of times..for machine tool
Ram/Cmos batteries. Haas wanted $300 for a battery pack that I bought
for .....$30


$300? Rape!

There is a new BatteriesPlus store near me. Think I'll wander in.
