Default Dewalt 18 volt cell replacement

I have 2 18 volt dewalt XR2 batteries
that need replacing or re-celling. They
have lasted many years and 1 actually
still works pretty good, but I think
it's time.
Thanks.

Some added info. I've looked on Google
for new ones and for repair places. I'm
really just asking if anyone has any
good or bad reports of companies doing
the cell replacement work. Also, the
batteries I have are the older XR2; now
they are selling XRP. I don't know if
the change from 2 or P is advertising
hype or that they are really improved.
Is it worth buying the XRPs or will
the rebuild essentially upgrade them to
XRPs. BTW, I've found places that will
re-cell the batteries for $60. For
that, I will buy new.
