Bought enough of these to fix 4 DeWalt 18vdc power packs. Over a year ago I sent some power packs out to a company that often is noted in forums and has an eBay page. Since only half of them continue to work after a year it was time for me to try these on my own.
I can wire up anything and very mechanical, so these were no problem. It took me about 50 minutes per 18vdc pack from start to finish, so the per pack cost was $25 batteries and I kept $25 for myself compared to buying new 2-for packages. Good deal for me.
The trick I learned if you've never done these is to assemble the batteries into the lower shell, then bend and solder the tabs using the old battery assembly (with the fish paper removed) as your guide. When done with that side, apply duct tape, flip them over and solder up the opposite side. I used a chisel to separate the top connector to the single battery in the neck, then just soldered that one like the others. Duct tape was used to hold the pack together in place of the fish tape top and bottom. I've been using them heavily for the past few weeks with good results.
