My Bosch batteries (14.4V 2.6Ah NiMh's, supplied with Bosch blue pro
tools) are getting to the point where I'm swapping them onto the
charger all the time - not much capacity, and even if unused self
discharge all too quickly. They're probably around 4 years old and on
busy days, even when new, would be cycled several times a day - so I
think they've done their time and until very recently delivered
excellent results.

So I can either buy new ones from an official supplier (around £75
each), get them from a reputable ebay trader (around £45 for someone
I can be confident is selling genuine kit), find a deal on a new tool
with higher capacity cells in the bundle (probably a bit less than 2
new cells from an official supplier - though there's no particular
tool I need right now) - or I can have a look at getting them re-
celled.

Anyone done this and can make a recommendation?

I'm looking for a re-celling service that will produce results as good
as new genuine cells from bosch, rather cheapest.

I'd be interested in knowing that as well. My 14.4v Mak is showing the same
symptoms.
