Rebuild Cordless Drill Batteries
I need drill batteries for my drill.would you consider this rebuild option? The only other batteries I can find are aftermarket ones. On ebay, there are many sellers that sell aftermarkets, with high volume, and good ratings.But the sellers sale cordless drill batteries are too small to how to choose the appropriate drill battery. How can I buy the cordless drill battery from website not ebay,
One of the 2 batteries that came with my 12V DeWalt drill, would not hold a charge. Dewalt wanted $60 for a new one!! That's exactly half of what I paid for the whole drill, 2 batteries, charger and case! I said: NO WAY! So I cracked open the defective battery and found 10 'sub c-cell' nicads inside. I searched the internet for the solder tab batts. and found them to be not so cheap either. I kept searching and found a place that sold me a new battery for $27 plus shipping, so I went for it and was pleased with the purchase. I don't remember the name of the place, but if you do a search you will find many, many places that sell drill batteries. Keep searching and you will find a decent price.
Been down this road, I ditched my dewalt combo pack and got the sears 19.2V pack. double the tools and the Batteries are 1/3 the price and if you catch them on sale 1/4 the price of contractor quailty cordless tools. For me a home user I didn't need that quality of tool. but that's me.No good...$47 plus change for one battery...so to get to a 2 battery set up, we are talking about $100 bucks. Does not make sense when the Makita drill cost $120 new about 5/6 years ago.
In reading some from forums, I think going with cheap Ryobis/Skills/B&D/Craftsman is the way to go. And use a corded drill for high torque applications. I just cannot stomach paying $100 for batteries.Is it just me, or is this cordless drill thing a bit of a manufacturer sham...why so expensive. Built in revenue forever. I saw in Lowes the DeWalt XRP battery was $89 for one dewalt drill battery.
At last,my friend remmends me the website www.battery-replacement.org for buying cordless drill battery,it has all kinds of drill batteries with high quality,low price and best service and i buy two drill batteries from it.
