I had a few Bosch batteries re-built at a Batteries Plus store and found
they worked well at first but did not have the lifespan of the originals. I
would not have them re-built again.

I've had a Black & Decker cordless power drill for 3-4 years - used
maybe
10 times and always recharged when finished. ?A couple of weeks ago I
noticed that it didn't seem to be charged, and when I tried to
recharge it
I don't think it charged fully. ? ...

There is another company, I think in Washington state that does the same
thing. They have an ebay store and shouldn't be difficult to find. I
just used their services and the battery packs work like new, and cost
half of what Milwaukee wanted for replacement battery packs. I do work in
the electronic field and couldn't find the individual cells for less $
then what they charge to do the job for me.

Here it is but they seem to be on vacation?
