In my feel I have found that most consumers are not aware that it is inherent to rebuild the battery to their cordless tool. Rebuilding a battery has many benefits over buying new. Most often than not, it cost much less to rebuild a battery than to purchase a new one. Also, the capability of the cells used to rebuild a battery is commonly greater than those that were originally used out of the factory. Lastly, environmentally speaking, every time a battery is rebuilt there is one less being disposed. Most every local Battery Shop offers such a service and there are dozens of associates whom offer this service online. Before having your battery rebuilt get to know the basics. A simple crusade of the Internet will help you gawk the specifications of your cordless tool battery.
Chemistry
Dc High Voltage Test Set
The three chemistries used in today's cordless tools are Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMh) and Lithium-Ion (Li-ion). The most base is NiCd. The cost to rebuild a battery will mostly be thought about by its chemistry. Each of the chemistries has a dissimilar set of characteristics and lively from NiCd to Li-ion has valuable cost increases.
Knowing the chemistry required to rebuild your battery is also prominent for charging purposes. Ensure that your charger will preserve the chemistry you plan to use to rebuild your battery.
Voltage
Voltage will conclude the whole of cells used to rebuild your cordless tool battery. The most base cell used in today's cordless tool batteries is the 1.2V Ni-Cd Sub C. To conclude the whole of cells to be used to rebuild your battery divide the cordless tool battery's Voltage by the Voltage of each cell. For example, an 18V battery would use 15 1.2V Sub C cells.
Milliampere-hour (mAh)
In a basic sense the mAh rating of a cell denotes the 'run time'. The higher the rating the longer the battery will run before needing to be recharged. base range for mAh ratings is between 1200 mAh and 2700 mAh. Most cordless tool batteries are built using 1200 mAh or 1500 mAh cells. High-end brand name tool batteries are ordinarily built with 2200 mAh or 2400 mAh cells.
Application
How you use your cordless tool will also help conclude how much you are willing to spend in a new battery. Someone who is using their tools in Do-It-Yourself projects may be far less willing to pay for a Ni-Mh 2700 mAh rebuild than the undertaker of a package deal who uses their tools for everyday commercial applications.
Knowing the basics of battery rebuilding will make you an informed consumer. Find a service provider who is willing to offer a warranty on their work and one willing to furnish printed results of the post-build prime, payment and/or test of your newly rebuilt battery.
