History
I started out rebuilding simple battery devices after they were failing and started progressing up into a hobby. Learning a lot along the way after a few years I was ready to start helping out friends and family, Then came to what I am today.
How it works
Once you contact me and discuss what you need completed, You can ship me the items, I will rebuild them and then send you pictures of the completed items. I accept checks or PayPal for a 2% fee. Once paid with the addition of return shipping I will ship your completed items back.
Why rebuild?
I offer my rebuilding service to make a better, affordably priced option to new. In most cases I can repack your battery to output more current for a longer amount of time vs stock. My favorite to explain this with is the classic m18 5.0. Ever use it in something higher demand such as a leaf blower and in 10 minutes it is dead already. But come back 10 minutes later it has 2 bars left. When I repack it into a 5.4 It will run 20 minutes and be completely dead afterward. That is because the repacked one is sustainable of much higher output current giving you more power and lasting longer than the stock 5.0. This also leads to a longer lifespan. I can do this in multiple cases. I strive to repack them to be better than stock at an affordable price.

Causes of failure for M18s
Their are quite a few causes of the dreaded flashing red and green lights. Most commonly it is a low series bank of cells. A m18 has 5 series banks that are independent, the chargers charge off of pack voltage and can not fit a low bank of cells. After some time of the banks of cells continuing to get lower it damages the cells and the cells around them, eventually leading it the cells getting to low before the next charge. and the charger will not function. Depending on the levels of usage, if you get 3+ years out of a pack your doing pretty good. Its best not to charge right after taking it right off a tool, Give it time to rest and cool. Also the standard charger is always the best, it creates less heat increasing the lifespan.
