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

It's usually not worth the time or trouble to rebuild unless you're
using bottom-of-the-barrel replacement parts, and then why bother
doing it at all? Most batteries aren't that expensive and they last
quite a while, just dispose of the old ones and get new.
