Who rebuilds power tool batteries? We do !

REBUILDING IS RECYCLING

I have been asked often as to whether I rebuild as a hobby or business.

The answer is neither.

 I am a retired contractor that has more time on my hands than needed.

 I built my small State of the Art, battery lab years ago to supply my own needs in the construction industry.

I have produced many hundreds of rebuilds for a wide variety of users.

I do not strive to rebuild every battery in the world and am very comfortable to work with a select client base that appreciates the quality and personal availability I offer.

Also, being Eco Friendly is a most important thought provoking theme right now.

My small company will promote a positive image by offering optional products which are Eco Friendly.

These products not only portray a good image to my customers but also help increase my companies moral by showing that I am doing my part to help the enviroment.

Please explore my store for some exciting new Eco Friendly products. These products will help to make choices and have you thinking that Eco Friendly is not only good for the enviroment but good for your moral.

All Eco Friendly products will be marked with the Green Earth logo and the little battery pointing the way.

We hope you enjoy your visit to my store and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Thank you for your interest,

Ernie

Makita tool battery charger options

YOU ASKED,

What would you recomend for an optional battery charger for a Makita LXT with a bad chip?

MY ANSWER.

I believe that Makita has probably taken care of the discussed problems with there new production but we will never know. Also the fact that there is a device to reset the chip is possibly a figment of someones imagination. I hope it is true but who knows.

 

As a re builder I am very cautious not to mislead my customers about the possibility to rebuild their batteries without a disclaimer. It is possible to change out cells but that does not constitute a rebuild if it can not be charged.

 

The type of charger you need is obviously one designed for Li-Ion batteries and offers at least two parameters of protection. I prefer a third parameter but it is not mandatory.

 

1. Protection from overcharge.

 

2. Protection from undercharge.

 

3. Protection from heat buildup. (Optional) 

No chargers, even the OEM makita will balance cells within the pack. They only detect unbalance. If a cell is bad the charger shuts down. If that happens the only recourse is to find that cell and replace it with another that matches the rest of the pack.

 

The charger I will recomend has the ability to balance individual cells for optimum performance but will not make a bad cell work again.

 

With that said, I will list the charger I like, to replace your OEM unit.

 

This charger is on sale right now and goes off sale on 9/10/11.
