Has anyone tried a rebuilt 18V battery? I would like to try one of the 3300mah units from voltmanbatteries.com or even the 3800mah unit from http://cordlessrenovations.com/?page_id=48, but wanted to get first hand feedback. It is hard to try something like this when you can easily pick up 2 new batteries for $99.

I rebuilt 2 of mine using sub-C cells purchased off e-bay last year. In the end they did not last as long as buying a new genuine pack. I prefer to spend a little more to get a brand new pack.
That is what I’m struggling with as well. You can get two new batteries for $99. Just wondered if one of the higher amp rebuilds justified the price.
They are easy to rebuild and obviously cheaper but I would not do it again.
