What type of batteries do you repair?
We rebuild most portable rechargeable battery packs for any equipment that has a battery that plugs into the wall for recharging. If we cannot repair/repack the battery we can almost certainly source a replacement. We are often asked to build a one off battery for a specialised need. Many older power tool batteries are unavailable so repacking is the way to go. Your favourite power tool gets a whole new life

What type of replacement batteries do you use?
As with most things these days all our batteries are sourced from China. My Manufacturer builds my battery cells to order. The orders are usually 5 -10 thousand at a time. This way I know from experience the batteries are tested and A1 before I receive them. In every case my battery cells have greater amp hours than your original battery. This means longer use and less charging. I am so confidant in the batteries I use I offer a 24 month warranty for DIY and 12 Months for all tradespeople.

How soon can you return my repaired Battery?
We usually have a 24-36 hour turnaround. Where we need to source an unusual battery or not have one on the shelf this lead time will vary depending on where it is sourced. I usually receive batteries from the States within 7 days.

Why not buy a new Battery?
Many batteries, for some power tools, radios etc are not available to buy any longer. We can usually repack your old battery better than new. If your battery could be replaced new the cost is more than our rebuilds and the battery cell capacity greater than original replacements
We also have after market batteries for a fraction of original battery cost. For example we have 6v Paslode Nail Gun batteries built in our workshop using 3 Ah Ni-Mh cells. These we sell for $58. The original (1.4Ah Ni-Cd) retail for $120+ in tool stores.
Most Lithium batteries are available. An example is the Makita BL1830 18V Lithium battery. We sell these for $125 with Sanyo cells and 4Ah. Great savings and an excellent battery and warranty.

Why not buy a new tool , batteries included?
Often it appears a new tool from a shop is cheap. You get a new tool and usually two new batteries. If the equipment you are replacing is getting worn then it should be replaced. However the old saying “you get what you pay for” is true. If it is cheap to buy often cheap is the way it is. The older power tools were made to last. With a rebuilt battery or two and a 2 year warranty a well built solid tool gets a new lease on life. We expect our batteries to last five years plus with normal use.
