F.A.Q.

Q: What does your company do?

A: Short answer: we take your dead battery pack and refurbish is like new, saving you lots of money!

Q: What is re-celling / refurbishing / rebuilding?

A: These are all terms describing the process of refurbishing dead battery packs.

Q: What are cells?

 A: Battery packs are typically made up of a series of smaller internal batteries called 'cells'.

Q: What does re-celling involve?

A: We dismantle your dead battery, carefully dispose of your spent cells and exchange them with brand new replacements.

Q: Will this process invalidate my battery’s manufacture warranty?

A: If it is still under warranty then yes - But if your battery is simply not holding charge you will most likely find this is not covered by a manufacturer warranty. If you are seeking our services for older tools then your manufacturer warranty may have expired already.

Q: Is your work guaranteed?

A: Yes - No matter the age of your battery once re-celled though us our work is backed by a 12 month warranty.

Q: Do you offer bulk discounts?

A: Yes this can be discussed please contact us for a quote.

Q: What types of battery can be re-celled?

A: We can cater for almost all sizes and types of rechargeable batteries.

Q: What is Ni-Cd / Ni-MH / Li-ion?

A: These are the different chemicals used in rechargeable batteries. Ni-CD: Nickel Cadmium, Ni-MH: Nickel metal hydride and Li-ion: Lithium Ion.

Q: What is Ah?

A: Ah stands for Amp / Hours. For example a 2.0Ah battery means it can supply 2 Amps for 1 Hour. So the higher the Ah value the longer the battery’s run time.

Q: Can I upgrade my battery from NI-CD to NI-MH?

A: If your tools charger states that it charges NI-MH and NI-CD batteries then - Yes. But for many older NI-CD tools and chargers this is not possible, as the charger was not designed for charging the higher capacity NI-MH cells. Please contact us for advice.

Q: Can I upgrade my battery’s Ah size?

A: Yes in most cases the next size up if possible without any problems, e.g. 1.3Ah to 1.5Ah, or 1.5Ah to 2.0Ah. For bigger steps (e.g. 1.5Ah to 3.0Ah) then your charger must be able to supply adequate current to charge the new cells, please contact us for advice with this.

Q: How long does it take to refurbish my battery?

A: Your battery will normally be refurbished and dispatched back to you within 14 working days of its arrival, often sooner.

Q: How can I pay for your services?

A: We currently accept Credit or Debit cards, cheques, postal orders, bank transfer or PayPal.

Q: How do I send you my batteries?

A: Please send us your batteries in suitable packaging i.e. bubble wrap, etc. Please use a postal method with insurance and tracking number such as recorded delivery - as we cannot be held responsible for items lost in the post.

Q: Where are you based? Can I drop off / collect my batteries?

A: We are based in Essex and East London. Yes if you are in our locality then get in touch and we can arrange a meeting.

Q: Can I remove the old cells to save on weight and postage cost?

A: If you are going to do this please check with us first with unusual batteries we would need to replicate the layout from the old cells. But if agreed we would need all the internal wiring and terminals to be left intact. You would also have to make sure the old cells are disposed of properly, contact your local Recycling and Refuse centre for advice.

Q: Can I pay later or have credit terms?

A: Unfortunately not, payment is not requested until items are ready to be returned they are then dispatched on receipt of payment. Unpaid items will be disposed of after 60 days to recover our costs.
