Unless I was looking in the wrong place, I couldn't justify
rebuilding, which is a shame.

you definitely looked in the wrong places Ed. Generally around $35 for a
good rebuild.

Yep, that's pretty much what I found. And here's
a replacement for $31, including shipping:

Any chance the rebuild is significantly better than the replacement?


Rebuilds tend to be "fresh" they have not been setting on the shelf
waiting for your to buy them and they typically have significantly
higher amperage ratings.
My experience has not been "typical". I used Batteries Plus to
rebuild a couple of DeWalt batteries and another machine with built-in
batteries. They did not last nearly as long as the new batteries did
and did not hold a charge as long.

using the wrong equipment.
