Does anyone have a dead Trend Airshield Pro battery pack that yo don't want? I want to try taking it apart and see if I can replace the dead cells. I will pay for the postage.

This place, all over the US, can probably fill your needs at an acceptable price and stand behind their work. http://www.batteriesplus.com/ |

Remove NOSPAM to reply offline. Thanks Dan Are you saying that you have a pack of your own and just don't want to open and experiment on that one? Most of the time it will be pretty obvious what sort of cells are in a battery pack. My Racal has three regular tabbed Ni-Cad AA cells in it -- available most anywhere for a couple of bucks each. Most companies just don't use odd-sized cells in their packs; they design around whatever is a commodity item at the moment to save money and to future-proof the product. |

The prebuilt battery that I bought for our iRobot vacuum has a 1 year warranty and was $30 less expensive than the NEW battery with a 6 month warranty. And with some of the battery packs the case is welded closed. |

No basically I am saying that buying a rebuilt is much less expensive than buying new and that buying a rebuilt is economically a better choice depending on how much time you have available to putter around for the sake of saving $25~$30. The OP stated that he wanted to "try taking it apart". So for all we know the battery may have a welded cover that might not go back together as expected once you break it open. I was offering the suggestion of having a pro replace or rebuild to save time and or the battery pack from being destroyed. |
