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?
Do you live in or near a larger town. We used to live in Wichita and we had two good, local alternatives that rebuilt and warranted tool batteries.

Houston but oddly Google searches don't turn up much.
