Has anyone had their batteries rebuilt and were you happy with the
results? Who rebuilt them for you?
Or should I just buy another drill?
Thanks

The lower-priced drills come with a pretty dumb charger. The instructions
tell you to not charge a battery longer than seven hours because longer
charging cycles diminishes battery life. You can address this defect two
ways:

1. When you get your battery rebuilt, specify lithium ion ($$$) or other
types that are not degraded by over-charging.
2. Get one of these and set it for six hours

You cannot substitute lithium ion for another type battery. The lithium
ion battery requires a special charger that communicates with the
electronic circuitry special to a lithium ion battery.
