Does anyone have any experience with a battery rebuilder called
Voltman in Mansfield OH. He has decent web site
<voltmanbatteries.com> ?. He has a U-tube demonstration on it which
looks pretty reassuring. He'll rebuild a Dewalt 12V NICAD battery pack
for $45. You pay the freight charge to OH, he returns it to you on his
dime. Two to four week turn around. He says their rebuilds are better
than new.

IME, these things are less than worthless, though. A 14.4V PC drill,
not so much.

I have sent several sets to them and have gotten excellent results and
quick turnaround.

No personal experience with this guy but have bought rebuild before
with no probs, just can't recall who it was I boughtthem from. I do
know that it is not very difficult to do if you understand the
process. I am not suggesting to do it yourself, simply saying that if
the guy is actually advertising it would not be too hard to assume he
is doing a good job. And yes, many times newer cells are better than
the originals.

Sometimes. I disassembled a Dust-Buster and took the batteries to a rebuild
place. The quote was $18 and two days.
Instead I bought a new Dirt Devil at Walmart for $17.

I had a local "Interstate Batteries" shop rebuild 3 sets for me a
couple of years ago. They work great! Cost about $35 for each set.
The new batteries have a larger amp-hour rating too.

Yep. I had them rebuild one of my 14.4V PC batteries. Good as new,
perhaps better.
Recommended. I'm told this is a pretty easy DIY, too.

Anybody with a stock of standard cells of various sizes and a battery welder
can do this sort of thing, there's really nothing magic about it. If you
feel like doing some cobbling you can even put together a battery welder
yourself for not too many bucks.
