I have one dead one, and one on the way.  Is there a place that will tear them down and rebuild them with new cells, or are the Lion’s pretty much throwaways?

sell them on ebay.  you may get 25-30 a piece.

Really…….the only option for a dead 36v battery is to recycle it, take it to the local service center

i recently sold a pair of dead batteries for 60 on ebay.  there are RC guys out there who salvage what ever cells still work in these batteries, and can sometimes revive bad cells.

speaking of batteries, i bought a bunch of new 2010 batteries, and they dont seem as powerful as the older ones.  i have one in particular that runs slower than the rest.  will a dewalt service center swap it out?
