I have a 18v snap on gun that the battery has died has anyone repaired one it has 12x 1.5v batteries with tags soldered together, I've seen there are companies that repair them but would like to know if anyone can recommend one or I can do it myself wheres the cheapest place for batteries?

Is it the older NiCd model or the newer Li ion version?

It's quite old so I presume nicad

I'd be interested in this too, I've got three 18v Ryobi batteries that need reconditioning.

Just got this as a reply.

He's just responded to my query at 21.30hrs tonight - I like service like that.
I'm going to give them ago, I'll let you know how I get on if you like ?

Hi, Thanks for your message.

Yes we rebuild these batteries they can be recelled/upgraded with any option below.
We also offer a bulk discount of 10% off the prices below, when sending us any 5 or more batteries together.

18v NICD 1.5Ah @ £29.00 (£34.80 inc VAT)
18v NICD 2.0Ah @ £36.00 (£43.20 inc VAT)

We don't stock 1.7Ah cells so normally upgrade these to 2.0Ah.

The bigger Ah means an increase the capacity of the cells, giving you a longer runtime from each charge.
Upgraded cell options will charge using the original charger.

Return UK shipping is included
Prices are for each battery pack.
Quotes are valid for 30 days.
Each battery is fully tested before return.
12 month warranty is included.
Turnaround is typically within 10-14 days.

DO NOT SEND BATTERIES VIA ROYAL MAIL

The cheapest and easiest way to send in your batteries is to use a courier try http://www.parcel2go.com/
Describe your package as 'parts' or 'accessories' to avoid unnecessary confusion with liquid filled batteries which can not be shipped.
