I had my 12v Makita drill batteries rebuilt at Batteries Plus as I
felt the same about them as you do your Hitachi. Great little drill
and still going strong.

You'll have to see if there is one in your area.

Thanks. They don't list the EB12B nor do they show any listings for
the Hitachi tools. No stores located nearby either...bummer...

Thanks for the suggestion though. I have found some "new" batteries
here

It's called "The Battery Bank" located in Apopka, FL. I'll give them a
call in the morning.

Thank you all,
