Power tool battery refeb

[Talon]

I saw a post sometime back about being able to refurbish Ryobi Or DeWalt type batteries that have gone bad. Does anyone remember that post or where to get the batteries to refurbish those types?

The local interstate battery store rebuilt my drill/ saw batteries.

I also used the local Interstate Battery Distributor.

google videos on it...both rebuilding and reconditioning


You can get the sub-c batteries and rebuild 'em yourself.
Or Batteries Plus will do it for +/- $60-$70 each
Here is a start...

Or
you can try this first...It actually worked for 1 out of three for me.
Apparently they can get "crystals" build up and the arcing gets 'em going again
