I'm asking this question on here because I've read several times about
some of you rebuilding the battery packs for cordless tools.

Have any of you rebuilt the battery packs for laptop computers? Can
this be done? They want more than I paid for the computer for a
replacement, so it's either rebuild it, or replace the computer and just
use the old computer where there is an outlet.


I've had battery packs rebuilt at Batteries Plus with good results. The
store can be somewhat more expensive than other places but the store tech
has the proper equipment to spot weld the tabs onto the individual
cells. The company also sells factory made laptop batteries at a fairly
competitive retail price. You may have a store in your area. I like to
spend money locally because I can get my hands around the throat of the
merchant if there's ever a problem with the product. ^_^

I can vouch for Batteries Plus. There are two within a five mile radius from
me. I've never had a laptop battery rebuilt but have had tool batteries
rebuilt with great success and long lasting. As DD stated, they have
competitive pricing and if they don't have it, they can get it, though rare
if they don't have it.
