Yep....$150 for a 3-4ah battery. Can you get old ones rebuilt?

Post by: ran7ger on Oct 13, 2018, 12:14 PM: Sorry but I missed the question about gas augers..

I bet you can rebuild those battery packs but likely best deal for a new one would be online.

Post by: muleear on Oct 13, 2018, 12:18 PM: Battery place tells me lithium can't be rebuilt Can't complain about auger to this point so I guess bite the bullet and buy a battery

Post by: RyanW on Oct 13, 2018, 12:32 PM: Lithium battery packs like that are more than likely put together with several smaller lithium cells. If you can get the battery case open, I bet you could find the same exact cells online. Many people build/rebuild lithium batteries. Battery place wants your money.

Yep....I've got a dewalt lithium battery pack I'm going to see if batteries plus can rebuild. I hear that it cost about has much as a new battery though.

On an Ion battery that cost $150 it might be cheaper to rebuild though.
