Default batteries - replace or rebuild


I have a 10 year old Freud 13.2v cordless whose batteries died a few years
ago. Since then I have tried different new cordless drills, and none of
them have the balance or the chuck quality (it's a rohm) of the freud. I
really missed using that drill.

So, a couple weeks ago I finally had two battery packs rebuilt. They were $35
each from voltman batteries. http://www.voltmanbatteries.com

Got them back a week or so ago, and so far so good, but I have no idea on
the longevity. But I am happy I can use that drill again, and I'm happy I
didn't throw a perfectly good drill away - that just seems wrong to me.

bob I've got quite a collection of DeWalt 12V cordless tools,
bob including 7 batteries. Some of the batteries will only hold a
bob charge for 4 or 5 minutes. It's time to do something about that.
bob What has your experience been with rebuilding these batteries?
bob There is a plethora of websites of companies that do battery
bob rebuilding. Any one in particular that did a good job for you?

bob Thanks.

bob Bob
