Please notice that we do not offer new battery packs for cordless power tools.     We specialize in rebuilding and upgrading your existing equipment for superior performance.   The battery you send to us is the battery that will be serviced and returned to you.    Our upgrades may be used with any of the chargers sold for use with the original battery.    FOR ANY BRAND NAME - Price is based on Battery Voltage.  

Cordless Power Tool Batteries - we make them work like they should.

We do not offer new tool battery packs. Our quotes are for rebuilding your old battery pack. (It must be sent to us.)

If you are considering the purchase of new battery packs from the original manufacturer.. remember this:  If your tool is 5 years old... it is likely that the existing replacement packs are also 5 years old.  They stopped making the battery packs... when they released the new model, and the gadgets that go with it..   If you do not care about the gadgets that draw most customers into the "buy a new one" trap - then you are our intended customer.  Our purpose is to provide improved performance... for use by those who require only the best.  It is not our intention to compete with low cost replacement batteries. Remember that the poor quality battery problem will continue... it is sold to you along with the new gadgets and doo-dads. If you do not require more than a casual use of your cordless tools, then you should probably search for the lowest price.  

Others claim that batteries without screws cannot be rebuilt - NOT TRUE - WE REBUILD BATTERIES WITH SEALED CASES.

When rebuilding your old battery - we only use factory fresh cells, that exceed the original specifications. There have been considerable increases in the capacity of all rechargeable cells, and they continue to improve every day.  Your power tool has never had it so good.  Battery packs for cordless tools may be viewed as three categories. 

They are typically graded by voltage and capacity.  The voltage indicates how many 1.2 Volt cells are used. (10 cells = 12 V). The mAh or AH refers to how much energy can be stored. (2.1 AH is the same as 2100mAh etc)  The higher the number, the better the ability to provide continued use without recharging.  The physical size of the cells, and if they are NiCd or NiMh ... determine what can be used as a replacement.  Battery capacity measurements are based upon finished product testing with top quality cells.  Often times cells may be marked with capacity ratings that are misleading - some perform better - others less - we test to make sure.

Standard capacity packs: They are usually sold in pairs, in kits with do-everything attachments. They were made at minimum cost, with small size cells, that provide little operating time.  These batteries often spend more time in the charger, than they do in the tools.    The batteries are usually only 1.0 AH cells, we rebuild them with the highest available capacity. (depending of the model the upgrade can be 1.3 AH or higher.  The result is usually a 25 to 35% increase in run time. 

Extra, XR or Maxi etc. battery packs. These are large capacity NiCd packs, they are usually 1500 to 1700.  We only replace these with 2.1 to 2.4 AH cells for a 40% increase in run time.

NIMH -Maximum capacity packs:  NiMh batteries are usually available in two battery sizes. Small packs were 1.5 AH and large battery packs were 2.2 AH to 2.6 AH  We rebuild the small case with 2.1 AH and the larger packs are improved to 3.3 AH.  Either rebuild usually adds 50% more run time.

Our price to rebuild Tool Batteries is based on the voltage and cell type (NiCd or NiMh).  FOR ANY BRAND NAME.    The brand name or model number does not change the price.   

"Think Better than New."  (not cheaper than new)  Our rebuilds are designed to be superior in capacity, and of the highest possible quality, for use with your existing equipment.  We do not offer poor performance for cheap prices.
