They used to have a prominent notice on their website to that effect but I see it isn't there any more. I also see that they don't seem to advertise rebuilding of Li-Ion batteries either, but it would be worth a phone call or an email as their policy may have changed. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 445503 | 2006-04-13 23:28:00 | Thanks for that information Billy T. I neglected to mention my rebuilds have all been for Ni-cads. What I liked about dealing with them is that I was able to meet and talk with the guy who was going to do the rebuilds (one advantage of living in Auckland, I guess) and he discussed what he would be doing and the type od cells he would fit - they have some interesting ultrasonic equipment to open, and then reseal tight-fitting battery cases - I thought they would do what any of us would do - use a sharp "Stanley" knife to carefully open up the plastic case along its seam! For new batteries they still seem cheaper than regular retailers, I bought a replacement battery for a cordless phone off them and it was about 60% the price of one from DSE. |
