82143 Batteries Message #1 Posted by Thomas Caphorn on 29 July 2004, 10:01 a.m. Is there a company that will take the old battery pack and replace the bad cells with new ones?

Buy 4 1.28V rechargeable batteries (42mm x 22mm). Open the battery pack and replace the old batteries by the newest. Yours.

They'll rebuild a battery pack for you and it'll be difficult to tell that it's not right out of the factory.

They will rebuild just about any battery pack. They spot weld the cells together so there is no worry about damaging them with a hot soldering iron. Costs to do the 82143 pack should be $20-$30. I highly recommend using the highest capacity cells they stock.
