I am looking for a new rebuilder, I had been using
PrimeCell.

About 2 years ago I had a battery rebuilt by Prime cell
and it worked
great for about 18 months. This battery was run down
almost
completely 5 days out of the week. Pleased I had it
rebuilt again in
June. within 2 months I saw that the battery was already
not
performing as expected. I contacted Primecell and they
made several
suggestion of things to check and none helped. They
suggested returning the battery and I
would get a 2/3 discount on replacement since the rebuild
had been
less than 60 days.

For those using Primecell, their warranty is free
replacement for the
first 30 days, you pay 1/3 for replacement after 30 days
and you pay
2/3 replacement between 60-90 days. After that the battery
is out of
warranty. AND you pay shipping both ways.

Prime Cell does not stand behind their products. In this
particular
instance a new battery comes with a 6 month battery from
the
manufacturer.
So any recommendations?


I recently bought a couple of batteries from
batterydepot.com for my Bosch and so far so good.
prices are better than primecell and shipping is 99cents and
I don't have to send them and pay shipping both ways
YMMV



Thanks, Ill take a look.
