Battery Rebuilding with Upgrades for Surveying and Scientific Instruments
All brand name batteries.  Primecell offers rebuilding with capacity upgrades for many scientific and surveying instruments.  If your battery is not listed, request a quotation.
Rebuild Service   Includes testing and replacement of all critical components    We use only the highest quality components and add protective devices to improve upon the original designs.  Your own battery case is serviced and returned to you.  Minor case repair is included in our prices.  Additional costs are never applied without your prior consent.
Capacity upgrades   There have been huge gains in the capacity of rechargeable cells, and they continue to improve. Primecell rebuild service includes high capacity upgrades.  We have developed conversions that use High Capacity NiMh cells & upgrade obsolete equipment to state of the art technology.
Cell Technology   We use only the highest quality cells available for the application.  We sample and test all brands and sources.  We are presently using cells from Japan, S. Korea, and China. Do not be threatened by the claim that only certain brands are good.   That was true 10 years ago .. It is not correct today.  We have been in the battery rebuild business for over 20 years.  It is our job to find the best product for use in your equipment.  If we do not consider it to be Higher Quality than the factory original - we will not build it, or put the Primecell name on it.
Charging   All Primecell upgrades may be charged with any of the chargers supplied for use with the original battery.  When necessary this is facilitated by the addition of protection devices within the battery.  
Competitive Prices   We have been rebuilding all types of batteries for over 20 years.  We know the costs and the service required - we also know that many shops have joined forces to keep the prices out of reason.  If you ask why - they explain all the bad things that will happen if you pay less - maybe the sky will  fall on you?  Our customers are either very brave - or well informed  -  they are also very happy with our service.
