Rebuilding batteries works fine and is fairly easy to do - so long as
you buy decent cells that are already tagged. As a dirt-cheap cordless
drill typically has a good chuck, a good motor , a useful gearbox and is
let down by poor cells and a terrible charger, then rebuilding cheap
tool batteries and replacing their charger makes a lot of sense.
For DeWalt and Makita though, the standard cells are usually pretty
good. Check the cost of re-cell vs. replace and then it's up to you.
