Default batteries - replace or rebuild


"Mike M" wrote in message

I think Swingman was pointing out that it wasn't just a rebuild. For
about the cost or less then a new battery you could have a battery
rebuilt that had higher amp hour cells, and sometimes higher
performance as in being able to deliver more amps at stated voltage
for longer. This is important to people doing production work in the
field.


You're correct. In most situations experience makes for much better advice
than just doing math. It's fuzzy thinking when folks only look at dollar
signs and don't take all the factors into account. Anyone who has had a
factory 18v XRP upgraded by primecell.com would never buy a new battery from
DeWalt even if it were cheaper.
