 TESTIMONIALS
FROM BUYERS |
| Hello Rick; I must confess, I was more than a little apprehensive, when I placed my order. But I tried it, and damn, it worked. To really put it to the test, I tried it on two batteries that had been useless for more than two years. I then assembled a metal building containing over 500 screws, using them. I am a believer. Thanks for bringing me back to my cordless tools. Charlie D. |
| Good Job. Fixed 7 batteries the first night. Thanks, Bobby S. |
| I was able to resurrect 4 out of 4 Ryobi 18v batteries that would have cost over $60 each. Thanks for the informative process that worked right the first time! Bill M. |
| Rick, I managed to save three of four of my Craftsman 18v batteries. Two with just "Easy Resurrection" and one using 3 step. Tim M. |
| Rick, My old Craftsman 12 volt drill charger said I had a ‘defective battery-replace battery” when I would try and charge it. I searched the internet for replacement battery packs and found your Battery Resurrection page. I must admit I was a bit skeptical but figured all I had to lose was $12.95 and a little of my time. I didn’t lose either!! I went from 0.0 volts to 13.56 volts using your method... I used the easy resurrection method and boy was it easy! Thanks for saving me some serious cash with your easy to use method. I would have had to replace the drill and battery pack since Craftsman doesn’t make the battery anymore. Keep up the good work! Best, Craig T., Ph.D. |
| I've successfully resurrected two 14.4 volt cordless drill batteries, a 7.2 volt cordless drill battery and several Versapak batteries using the easy resurrection method. It is simply amazing when the meter shows life in them again. I've not opened up any to resurrect specific cells yet because I haven't needed to. Thanks for the knowledge to allow me to do this, Rick! Alan B. |
| OK, just had a chance to use the process.... This
is amazing, I have to admit I was a bit concerned about this process,
but I just made a totally worthless battery into one that performs
better than when it was new... I am very impressed! Greg W. |
| I have restored one rigid and two dewalt drill battery packs successfully. Ed J. |
| I was amazed how well this worked. I had a "really" dead 18 volt DeWalt that the quick restore renewed on the first attempt. I needed (wanted) some new technology. Thanks for the info. It was definitely worth the $12.95 on the first battery renewal and will no doubt keep on saving. Ken M. |
| Amazing! That's all I can say. I've been throwing out batteries for years and could have resurrected them, as easy as 1-2-3! Thanks! John G. |
| Your material on Battery Resurection was spot on. I had two Dewalt 18 volt batteries that were loosing their ability to hold a charge and their run time was also decreasing. I signed up to receive your information and both batteries came back to their full potential in just a matter of a few seconds. I am very well satisfied. Terry L. |
| Rick, we are having all kinds of success reviving battery packs (12v & 18v) We are also helping revive the AA & AAA rechargeable batteries our kids use in their MP3 players too. We had our doubts at first, but we are now having genuine success that our friends and family are even telling everyone about our new services. Derek F. |
| Rick, I dug out an old Makita 9.6 volt battery that had not worked for a long long time, but I could not bare to just throw the drill and everything away. I... and sure enough it came back to life and took a charge. Now my old Makita drill will work as well. I am very glad I came across your procedure. You could double your price and it would still be a bargain.Thanks again, Steve B. |
| Rick, I was skeptical at first,but for $12.95 I was willing to give it a try. I... have already resurrected two 18 volt Ryobi batteries and two 14 volt Craftsman batteries. It's the best cordless investment yet! Thanks, Rick E. |
| Rick , I feel like I have assented to Haven, it worked for me and fast. My battery is a delta, it is not made any more, that is why this was like a miracle. One of the straps had come lose ,all I had to do was reconnect the strap and it is charging right now . Thanks again for being patient with me. This was the best 12.95 I ever spent, I will tell the world. Michael C. Sr. |
| Went from 7 good batteries to 16. The worst ones are still good enough for flashlights. Glad I kept all the "bad" ones... Thanks so much! Lanny T. |
| Hi Rick; Well there is an old saying " GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE ". So here goes my credit for your product. My son-in-law gave me a dewalt combo set with Hammer drill, Circular saw, Saw-saw and a flexible light. Also 4 18v batteries that would charge, but only one held some charge. With your battery ressurrection program and PICTURES i now have 3 batteries that take a charge!! 1 battery = 20.2 charge, 1 battery = 18.97 charge and the 3rd with a 18.94... I can go on ebay and get 2 battery for $121.00 including shipping. But since i'm retired and on a limited income i purchased BATTERY RESURRECTION for $12.95. I did not finish high school am 65yrs old and if i can take 4 batteries and have 3 good ones, so can anyone else. All you need is COMMON SENSE!!!. But the pictures really helped me out a lot too. $121.00 - $12.95 = $108.05 i saved. John W. |
| Hi Rick, Your resurrection system worked great. My Son gave me a drill with batteries that had not been used for about 10 years , and sears doesn`t stock the batteries any longer. I put them in the charger for about 6 hours one came up to 6 volts the other one 1 1/2 volts, after resurrection both came up to over 16 volts , I put them in the charger and in a few minutes the green light came on. I have checked the voltage every day since and after using the drill the voltage still reads over 14.4... Thank you very much, your program saved me a bunch. Bob F. |
| I just wanted to let you know that I was able to recover two 18 volt Craftsmen batteries this weekend. One measured 8.65 volts and the other 4.64 volts and indicated 'bad' on the charger. I... applied the 3 step process. I got them up to 17.6 volts and put them in the charger. It went to Fast Charge and completed a full charge on them. I used one in the flashlight to do some outdoor work. It stayed bright the whole time and measured 19.4 volts after 24 hours. Thank you! Greg N. |
| I used your procedure (easy mode) and was able to resurrect my two 16.8 Craftsmen batteries. They seem to hold the charge good and they came up to around 18 volts fine. You did an excellent job with your instructions and the pictures. Thanks also for the explanation of what happens to Nicads. Thanks, Robert G. |
| To Whom it May Concern, I have an 18 volt Milwaukee battery that has been Dead for 2 - 3 years. I left my battery in a box full of copper fittings in the back of my truck for a week. I always thought of throwing it away. I purchased 2 new batteries to make up for the one dead one. But for some odd reason I never threw out the dead one... I was completely skeptical, I thought that this would not work. After I ordered the (your) plans on resurrecting I thought that I had wasted my money. Boy was I wrong! I have never been happier to admit to being wrong before! I don't fully understand how or why it works. But I am sure tickled that it does! This is truely amazingly incredible! This is pure genius! Thank you! Sincerely, Kevin M. |
| Rick, Thanks again for the Battery Resurrection info. It worked the first time I tried it on my shot Craftsman 13.2 cordless drill battery pack. Cool part was that I could use... to revive the bad one. Following charging the pack read 15.001 volts and after sitting 2 days was still at 13.98. I've been telling all my "toolhead" friends at work. Good luck. Jim P. |
| Had 3 Harbor Freight 9.6 Volt batteries that wouldn't take or keep a charge. Immediately resurrected 2 and found out that one wouldn't 'easy resurrect". Your info gave me the info and confidence to open the battery, test each 1.2 cell and found the one that was a problem. Resurrected it and am now charging it. Also didn't have a charger for 2 VersaPak silver batteries. Tested them and found them very low. Did easy resurrect and proved both batteries good to go once I locate a charger at a yard sale. I will now purchase battery operated tools at a yard sale knowing I can resurrect batteries that probably made people want to get rid of the tool in the first place. Please keep me informed about any new discoveries and advise where I can ask questions later on, should any questions come up. Thanks, J.W. (You can email your questions to me and I'll help you - Rick) |
| Rick, I was skeptical about this, In the last couple of weeks I've had a drill stolen from my truck, and yesterday I forgot to close my tailgate and another one fell off the back into traffic. As I tried to stop, pull over and cross a busy intersection I watched a guy stop, pick up my drill and drive away, hoping against hope he would inspect it, find my name and phone # on both the drill and the battery and call me. No such luck. It's like losing your right hand. I use these tools everyday. I was looking for a reasonable replacement when I came across your listing, and oh what the hey, it sounded to good to be true, but what's a little more lost if it doesn't work. I had 3 battery packs that no longer took a charge. A battery store in town will replace all the cells in them for $60.00 each. A little steep. If this would work it would be worth it. I followed your guide and one easy resurected, one resurected doing the 3 step process, and I'm going to re-read your guide and redo the 3rd when I have more time, or else save for parts. Thank you for this great guide. I now have replaced the 2 batteries I lost. There's some feeling coming back in my right hand. Tom R. |
| I have a lot of Motorola radio batteries and keeping the radios up with good batteries can be very expensive. Battery Resurrection worked on several of the batteries, the ones it didn't work on I have not had a chance to re-resurrect to see if they will take the second time. Thanks for the information, this could possibly save our business a lot of money by letting us resurrect our radio batteries rather than replace them. Mike A. |
| I’m very impressed….My old 9.5V black & Decker drill was going into the garbage because of the battery being dead. I followed the instructions and I have my drill back and working like new. Thanks. Daniel G. |
| Rick, I was very skeptical about this, but at 59.99 per battery what the hey. I have a Sears Craftsman 14.5 drill about 6 or 7 years old I don't use it much, but when I need it, I need it. Both batteries would not take a charge at all. I tried your fix and after 10 min on the charger I could not stop the chuck with my hand both batteries took a full charge! Thanks for the info! Mark C. |
| Hi, Very happy. I resurrected 2 12V Ryobis and 6 Makita 9.6 volts and have 5 versapacks to do. Good thing I'm a packrat. That's what the wife says. Anyway, saved me a lot of money!! Bill F. |
| I have two 12V Makita batteries that wouldn't take a charge. Following your directions I now have them charging. Don S. |
| Sir, Thank you very much for the Battery Resurrection Guide, I have now recovered 3 x 18 volt batteries and a number of single cells successfully and am delighted with the product. Money well spent!!! William M |
| Your product is unbelievable. I received your instructions within 1/2 hour of purchase. I gathered 7 old Craftsman drill batteries that I didn't have the heart to throw out and proceeded to resurrect them. I sucessfully resurected all 7 batteries. A big Thank-You for this great product at such a reasonable price. Rob S. |
| Rick, AMAZING!! You just helped me resurrect 2 Craftman Drill 16.8v batteries. Replacement cost for both is over $100!! Thanks, Bob S. |
| Got it! Thanks! Worked like a charm!!!! And it was great fun! Phil R. |
| Your instructions were precise and easy to follow. All went exactly as you said and operation went smoothly. Now I have 4 good batteries, 2 new I purchased before I came across your site and 2 old I pulled out from my recycler and resurrected. Thanks Again! Dennis I. |
| Hi Rickcad; I just used your restoration process and am VERY happy with the results of your process. I saved 3 out of 5 dead batteries, the 2 were so far gone (leaking corrosion) Im not surprised that they didn't come back. I'm sure I've saved over $100.00 so far. and you also told me how to repair the one's that won't come back for less than half the cost of a new one so a big THANK YOU. I'm very happy John U. |
| Just wanted to let you know that your procedure for resurrecting batteries worked for me and I'm a very satisfied customer. My 12 volt drill battery had been dead for years and your easy to follow guidelines reinvigorated them like a charm. It was the best money I've spent in years. Please keep up the good work. Colin M. |
| I resurrected two 14.4 batteries on 9/20/07. On showed no juice for any cell. It appeared to be dead, dead. I... and now that battery is showing 16.5. I dated it and will see how long it lasts. Thanks, Lance B. |
| Thank you for your diligence Rick. Great customer service! Don't see enough this day and age. Lee L. |
| Just restored a 12v batt for my drill. Easy and awesome. Thanks a million! Paul W. |
| I had two 14.4 sears drill batteries that the charger indicated defective and the no load voltage was 9 and 10 volts... After resurrection each pair of cells jumped in voltage (no load) until I got a total of 18 volts no load on one and 19.5 on the other. Then I charged them both - the first time in about two years they quick charged in about 20 minutes. I figured I saved $60 |
| Hi There: I was kind of skeptical at first but you made me a believer. I had 2 18 volt ryobi batteries both would not take a charge. After your resurrection tune up both have charged fully and working like new . Thanks again Louis B. |
| It has been 48 hours since I resurrected two Craftsman 14.4-volt batteries. So far each battery has not lost one full volt since being resurrected... Now 48 hours after the resurrection, one battery still has a charge of 15.55 volts and the other, 15.56 volts. So far the Battery Resurrection has been a complete success. This technique has saved me over $100 in batteries so far. Also thanks for helping protect our environment (battery recycling), for our children. Rick W. |
| I tried this on some old Verspak batteries first, to seriously test this technique and out of shear curiosity. After the resurrection process, I used tools that I haven’t used in almost ten years and they worked like they were new! I was a little skeptical at first, but now I am a firm believer! This process saved me lots of money! Charles B. |
| Rick, WOW, was very skeptical at first, but it worked on the very first battery I tried. Very happy with the purchase, I can see saving lots of $$$ on batteries from now on. Please put me in your email list for new ideas and products... Thanks, Blake R. |
| Hey Rick! I tried your resurrection on 2 ryobi 14.4V batteries with immediate success! One battery is for a flash light, the other for a drill. Both are still going strong from just one charge for 2 weeks now! I figure your info has paid for itself 3 times already judging by the cost of replacement batteries with the shipping. Thanks! -David W. |
| I purchased Battery resurrection from you a couple of days ago. While I haven't had a chance to use the information yet I just wanted to write and let you know. Your how to is very well written. You don't write over the heads of most people trying to impress them with your knowledge and you don't write down to people in a patronizing / condescending manner which would make it boring to some and insulting to others. After reading all the instructions you made it very clear as to what is happening to these batteries and the nature of their failure. It's evident you've spent a lot of time testing and repairing these type's of batteries and you've done a good job passing this information on. I'm ready to start fixing some of these batteries instead of buying new ones. Thank You for your information. Danny L. |
| I was rather skeptical in purchasing this procedure. However, I soon found my skepticism was unfounded. In a few short minutes I had resurrected 2 versapak batteries. Thank you for a procedure that should definitely save anybody money when it comes to using rechargeable batteries. Fred J. |
| Rick, I bought the battery Resurrection thing from you and was kinda skeptical about it. I finally needed my dewalt 14.4 cordless bad & I tried it, as both my batteries were dead as a hammer... Darn it worked like a charm! I am charging them both now and can't wait to use them. You saved me over $100. and I'm grateful. Please feel free to use this in the testimonies. Thanks, Allen M. |
| Hi, I tried the Battery Resurrection on a Kmart drill that I bought in 1993 and it worked! I couldn't believe it, I haven't been able to use the drill or get battery packs for it in 5 years. I'm very pleased. Thank you, Raphael F. |
| Finally got around to resurrecting my batteries.
Had doubts big time, BUT....It worked. Simply simple, simply amazing. Thanks, Calvin B. |
| I was a bit skeptical about the resurrection claims, but decided to give it a try. I have an old Porter-Cable cordless drill that the batteries were not taking and/or holding a charge anymore. (I had almost thrown it away.) I tried the easy resurrection process, and was amazed that they both came back to live and delivered more power than when I had received the used drill in the first place. Bill L. |
| I've already resurrected two Verapak batteries. Was getting ready to get rid of them. One of the best investments I've made. Larry C. |
| I've DONE SOME Resurrecting. THIS PROCESS HAS SAVED ME A LOT OF MONEY. 2 18V CRAFTSMAN, 2 14.4V DEWALT, 6 3.6V SCREWDRIVER, AND 2 14.4V OFF BRAND BATTERIES. ALL WERE DEAD, BUT NOW LIVE AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH THESE WOULD HAVE COST TO GO OUT AND PURCHASE, BUT, I DIDN'T HAVE TO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! Hey, have a great day! Gary M. |
| We just purchased the battery resurrection guide, and we've already resurrected three DeWalt drill batteries. What a money saver! Deagan P. |
| Just wanted to let you know that I bought your guide last week and it worked great! I had 2 12 volt Craftsmen cordless drill batteries that were down to 4 and 6 volts. Did the easy resurrection in about a minute for both batteries. When retested the voltmeter had them at 13-14 volts. How will I know when to recharge them again so I can avoid the memory effect? it's in the help section in the guide)Thanks again, From a complete electrical novice, Dr. D. |
| What a great idea, I have managed to 'Resurect' 3 batteries for my B&D Firestorm 12v Drill and have saved countless $$$$$$, thanks for a great product... Steve G. |
| It definitely does work, I had three 18 volt Dewalt
batteries that read ZERO. I followed the three step method on 1 battery and brought it back to life. I then tried the easy resurrection on one and it too came back also. River B. |
| Hi Rick, Just wanted to let you know things have worked GREAT. I have tried this on a DeWalt 9.6 battery pack and a Streamlight flashlight battery pack and they both are still going strong... I gave the battery to a friend to try and he was amazed with it. He said he just bought a new battery and he could not tell the difference between the new one and the ressurected one! He even thought the resurrected one held a better charge. Thank you very much. I have been collecting batteries now to resurrect. It's fun to do something so simple to restore these pricey battery packs. Roger G. |
| This works great. I have used it on 3 drill batteries, did very good. looking forward to camcorder battery. Satisfied customer. thanks, Wayne W. |
| From the last of the long-time skeptics....it worked! My 16.8V Craftsman power driver/drill and light have new life. I had two batteries which I had spent days pricing replacements via the web. The minimum I was going to get away with was just under $100. I bumped into your website by chance (or accident) and read the testimonials and thought what the heck......$12.95 or $100?! Which makes more sense. I bit the hook and am glad I did so. It truly worked... Both registered 19.6 volts and both have held the charge now for quite a few hours. I'm frankly amazed ...... Thanks VERY much for sharing this valuable information... Gary S. |
| I tried the resurrection technique on a couple of Versapac batteries I had given up on. One was very low and the other showed no voltage after charging for 24hrs. Using the technique... produced a dramatic change, both batteries were over 4v and powered a light better than I recall for years. Many thanks, Brent C. |
| Hi Rick, After receiving your guide, I couldn't wait to try it on my batteries. I have two batteries that hadn't been used for four years. I put each one on charge for about fifteen minutes and each showed around five volts. I used your process and after the resurrection each battery charged to the proper voltage in less than an hour. Thanks a lot . This is GREAT!!! Marvin B. |
| Your information regarding battery resurrection is great. I fixed my 24 volt bosch battery in a few minutes. Your product is great and is easy to do. THANKS, William H. |
| I've used the resurrection to do from 12 volt to 18 volt . One 12v. two 15.6v. one 18v. showed zero volts. The 15.6 had set for over two years. All but one was done with the easy resurrection. One 18v. had to be do done by taking it apart; this seems to have taken care of that one. It's been almost a week and they're all holding good. BEST MONEY I'VE SPENT . I was getting ready to buy a new set. (I've done 12 batteries so far.) Roger R. |
| I've already resurrected one battery - works great! Thanks again! Mildred L. |
| I work for a matn. dept at a school dist. and when I told my co workers that I bought your resurrection for the batteries they chuckeld and gave me a hard time. Then when I received your resurrection guide and went to work the next day I resurrected 5 18 volt batteries that we were going to throw away. YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE LOOKS ON THEIR FACES, IT WAS PRICLESS, thanks and I must say, I myself had a neg. attitude but, now I`M A TRUE BELIEVER, THIS WORKS!!!!! THANKS AGAIN, Steve B. |
| I've waited nearly two months to let you know that your quick resurrection instructions for my power tool batteries worked like a charm. They came to life after being useless for six months. They now hold a charge and recharge almost like new. Thanks, Paul S. |
| I tried the method using... on both versapaks and 14.4 v tool batteries, and saved 6 versapaks and the 14.4v that I thought I would have to replace! Thanks! Tom D. |
| Dear Rick, I have 2 18 volt Ryobi Ni-Cad batteries that had pretty much stopped working. After a few tries, they are now holding their full voltage as if they were new. I am very pleased with the instructions you sold and the suggestions you gave. It was well worth the cost. Thanks Gerald B. |
| So far I have done 2 Ryobi 12V packs, a HF 16.8V, and a 7.2V R/C car pack with results as advertised. I used the quick method. Timothy N. |
| Hi, I just wanted to tell you that your system works great. I revived 8 versapak batteries that would not even take a charge as well as 2 14.5 volt batteries. All are working well and last about as long as my newer ones. I was ready to spend about a hundred dollars on batteries so your program paid for itself right away. Thanks ! Joe W. |
| Rick, did my two Dewalt 12v batteries and they seem to be working like new. Real easy to do just follow the instructions. Thanks, Don T. |
| Rick, Thank you, the versa pack repair worked fine. Thank you, Tom J. |
| A short note to let you know how wonderful your battery resurrection is. My 12v batteries for my drill were $37.00 each, the drill originally was only 29.95. so I bought a new drill but, kept the old one and the batteries. The resurection procedure came in handy, now Ihave 2 good cordless drills, with good batteries. please keep in touch with any new techniques. Dean E. |
| It took me a couple tries but, I got the hang of restoring the batteries now and it has already saved me hundreds. I am a contractor and own 6 18 volt dewalt drills and about 15 batteries. I have rebuilt 2 of my old batteries and they work great. I have found the 3 step process to work best for my batteries but, believe me they are well used and definitely abused. Thanks for the great process. David I. |
| I used the battery ressurection guide to renew four Craftsman 14.4 v batteries. Like most people I am always in a hurry, so I tried the easy process first. After using the procedure on each one, all four showed full voltage on the meter. Thanks, James F. |
| I've refurbished 2 batteries and am working toward a third. Thanks - it works. Gary T. |
| Both charged up and I could not hold the chuck. Thanks. Matthew M. |
| Aloha Rick, Truly a fabulous service you have offered indeed. Superb details, pictures and explanation(s).. I cannot tell you enough how informative and practical your Battery Resurrection Tutorial is... Mahalo! (Thank you!). Andrew D. |
| Your resurrection procedure worked like a charm! The battery lives again! Please add me to your mailing list for future updates. Best regards, Dan C. |
| Resurrected 5 batteries of varying voltages. All worked out fine. Two seemed to be completely dead before resurrection. Cecil S. |
| Hi Rick; received the passcode right away and already fixed all my batteries - 6 in total. I used the quick method and brought all back to life. Actually, my 18 volt skills are showing as high as 23 volts. All batteries are holding power very well, where before they would go dead overnight. Totaly impressed, it was money very well spent. I thank you very much. Sincerely; Darrell L. |
| Thank you a lot!! it works!! I can't believe it! Before resurrection the charger light indicates that I must replace the battery ( dewalt 14.v) Damn good info!! The best 12 dollars I've spent on ebay!! Have a good day. Polo N. |
| I am amazed Rick. I had four 14.4 batteries that would no longer take a charge and was about to recycle them until I saw your advertisement. The volt readings were ,0.0,3.4,4.6 and 5.1 and left them in my two chargers over night. This morning they are both fully charged. Sure saved me a lot of money. Rolly D. |
| Hi Rick, Didn't know if this would really work but WOW! Tried it on a craftsman 19.2V and it only took a few minutes and it was charging and working again. I will be using it on some 19.2V porter cable batteries. THANKS! John H. |
| It really worked, I had some doubt, but I revived an 18 volt ryobi with the 3 step process. Then I found 8 very old rechargeable C batteries, all dead. I revived 6 of them. They now are holding 1.3 volts. Steve A. |
| Hi Rick, This system of yours just saved me $120 on the tentative purchase of two Ryobi 18 volt batteries to the tune of 75 bucks each minus 30 bucks for a multimeter bought locally plus the purchase of your system! Your system is unf%^&*ing believable!!! My two 18 volt Ryobi batteries wouldn't hold a charge for more than 2 days, and even after a full charge I could stop the chuck on the low speed. Not anymore though! It's been four days since resurrection followed by a full charge and I still can't stop the chuck even on the high speed. According to the multimeter they're both still substantially above nominal volts. I don't know how you came up with this but God Bless you from a working man who isn't made of money!! Thanks again!!! Al D. |
| Thank You , Great Procedure ! I just got an 18v ryobi battery pack back up and running , still have to do another ryobi and also a makita. Thanks again , MikeC. |
| Man, thank you. I had my craftsman 14.4volt DEAD. The charger said to replace the battery. I did last time, but this time Ibought you guide and damm, it worked in mins. I put it back in the charger and now it is charging up. The charger didn't say replace the battery. Man, I am Buzzing now. Thanks again for the great info. Shane F. |
| Hey dude- I bought the resurrection guide for my 18 volt skill kit. Worked like a charm. After I charged them they went to 18.6 volts, and I was able to use the batteries for 4 hours before going dead- before I used your method they would last about 17 min. and would not even run the 7 1/4 saw fast enough to cut a piece of 1/4 inch plywood. GREAT INVESTMENT... THANK YOU. Doug U. |
| Hi Rick, I just wanted to let you know that I used your guide to resurrect one Firestorm 13.2V battery and my neighbors (2) 14.4V Milwakee batteries. Surprisingly, all three batteries work fine after a full charge. When my neighbor put his dead batteries in his charger the red charging light stayed off, and after resurrection, the red light came on. The price of the Resurrection Guide has paid for itself three times over. The batteries do come back to life. Thanks again Rick. George C. |
| I did what you documented, and it worked on 6 of my 7 batteries. The 7th one has been dead for 3 years, and it was its time. I saved $72.00 already, and that is only my Black & Decker 1.5 volt batteries. Thanks, Dale B. |
| Hi Rick, I have to tell you that the resurrection really works. I have 2 craftsman 14.4 volt batteries that measured 5 volts and would not hold a charge. Afterwards they measured 14.4 volts. I fully charged them last night and this morning the voltage was 14.4 volts. My drill is like new. Your program really works. Thank you, Ed R. |
| Like a lot of your testimonials, I was looking online for a replacement 18V Craftsman battery for my several years old drill. Like a lot of manufacturers, Craftsman has changed the shape of their 18V batteries. Their new $25.00 18V battery won’t fit my drill, and they want between $45.00 and $65.00 for the battery that will fit my drill. I could not charge the battery before doing the resurrection because my charger will not start up if the battery is bad. As soon as I was done, I put the battery on the charger and the charge cycle started right up. I have always heard, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” This procedure lives up to all the claims. Thank you. Richard R. |
| Rick, we have used many 14.4 batteries for our three Firestorm drills. Before I found out about your resurrection technique, we would simply throw them away when they either lost their ability to hold a charge, or would not charge to a sufficient level to opperate the device. Now that we have tried your technique, we have several batteries that not only work well, some even outperform a new one, fresh out of the package. Now that is amazing! Thank you for saving us money and helping to clean up our environment, moving us one step away from the "disposable society" that we have become. Sincerely, Darren S. |
| My miracle resurrection is my 3.7 volt cell phone battery my wife gave up on. Fred B. |
| Thanks, you saved me $100 I brought 2-18volt & 1-12volt weed eater battery back, I'll tell anyone it does work cause Iwas in a hair of buying new ones, again, thanks a million. William G. |
| Rick- I got the battery resurrection guide -access! I tried it on a telphone battery and it works! Thanks, Dennis L. |
| It really worked!! I had a 13.2V NiCad Craftsman power tool battery that measured only 1.2V and would not take a charge (charger showed it to be defective). I used... the easy resurrection procedure. The battery came up to 13.2 volts and took a full charge on the charger. Battery works great in the power tool. Saved myself $35 or more. Thanks! William D. |
| I had 15 Dead Batteries And they all are taking charges, I can't believe it thanks ALOT, Jason D. |
| This worked good on the two Sears 18V cordless drill batteries I have. Victor M. |
| I have resurrected 3 batteries so far. Everything
works as stated. Could not be happier. Thanks, Carroll O. |
| UNBELIEVABLE!!! Within 2 hours after receiving your information, I repaired 7 batteries from various tools that were headed for eBay or the flea market. Even batteries that I thought were OK, tested weak. They're all better now. John B. |
| HI have resurrected over seven 14.4 volt Dewalt batteries with 100 percent success. I also did about 8 verapacks with only one failure. Bob C. |
Hello Rick, Worked Great, saved all the cells in my 14.4 volt porter cable and some versapak batteries. Thanks Again, Brent M. |
| This is great it works on all of the batteries I have tried it on. If you follow the directions everything works GREAT. George B. |
| I must say Rick, it worked great on my 18v Ryobi power pack. I did each one that was dead then checked voltage with my meter. After I was done they all were fine. Plugged it back in the charger. It was a beautiful thing... Thanks, great tip. Clem B. |
| Fantastic! I tried a "quick fix" on a Versapac from my electric screwdriver. I had retired it a couple of years ago (the battery cost nearly as much as a new one). It now works as good as new. I named it Lazarus. I have a Paslode framing nailer I haven't used in several years due to 2 dead batteries that cost $50 each. The 6volt battery fires a butane charge that drives the nails. Dead as a doorknob. Used the "quick fix" once and brought it up to 4.06v. Second time I got 7.04v. Stays hot; 6.55 after 6 days. I've already saved well over $100 and I've still got a 24v drill with two dead batteries I'm going to juice up as well as another paslode battery. Thank you, I'm really going to enjoy my "new" tools. Henry D. |
| Hello Rick, Just want to say that the Battery Resurrection worked great! I had 5 VersaPak batteries that would not hold a charge. After the 1st resurrection they all work great with plenty of power. Sure glad I found your site. I was looking for an internet site to purchase new batteries and ran into your information. Sure glad I gave it a try. Information was very detailed and easy to follow. Dean E. |
| Hi, Rick. Best $12.95 I have spent. I have resurrected two 14.4 v Ryobi drill batteries and two VersaPak batteries. Tomorrow I will try to do the battery built into my electric driver. Great product. Thanks, Roy S. |
| The techniques described worked great. I brought two dead batteries back to life, saved me a bunch on new batteries or a new drill. Thanks! Bob F. |
| I had a craftsman 15.6 volt drill with one dead battery. You could charge it for days and not have anything. I tried the easy resurrection on it using... and within 1 hour I was using the once dead battery. I felt just like Dr. Frankenstein, LOL, well kinda . Thanks Phil W. |
| Figured I could afford to lose $13 on what I figured was a long shot that your guide would work. 12V Dewalt battery read 7.1 volts after charge - 13.6 volts after following your directions. Guide has already paid for itself. Thanks, Russell S. |
| Hey! I just resurrected 2 Makita 9.6 batteries that had been dead for at least a year, 2 Craftsman 18 volt, and a 14.4 Dewalt. I reckon I saved over $200 over buying new. The Craftsman batteries each had... and was surprised how easily they were resurrected! I used the Quick Resurrection Method on the Makitas because there was no easy way to get into them. I'm very pleased with the results of both ways, and will be using Battery Resurrection many, many times in the future! Thanks, Joe H. |
| HI Richard! I used your method today and resurrected two Craftsman 18 volt batteries, and three 15.6 volt Craftsman batteries that I had also given up on long ago. I am amazed at how quickly it worked. The cost of your product is nothing compared to the savings you get from not having to buy new battery packs! Thanks, Bruce G. |
| Rick, I am absolutely AMAZED at how well your Battery Resurrection process works. I was able to successfully revive two Craftsman 14.4 volt and one Ryobi 14.4 volt in the first two days. The second Ryobi has a physical short that your guide also helped me identify. Anybody with ANY mechanical or electrical sense can follow these instructions. Thanks for your help and your money saving information. Tom C. |
| Just Resurrected 2 Ryobi batteries that had been dead for 2 years. Now they work fine. Also 3 Craftsman and 2 Skill brought back to life--thanks thanks- Bob W. |
| I had two 14v. Black and Decker batteries that read 0.00v and 1.2v. Neither one of the batteries would even give a faint glow in the light, and after the process and charging, they both run the drill at full speed and the chuck can not be stopped. Jimmy D. |
| This worked great. I had a 5" circ saw with a dead battery and thought I would give this tutoral a try before buying a new battery. It works great now and only cost was for this tutoral. Will W. |
| I have saved 3 12 volt batterys and 18 yard light batterys with this restore method. Thanks, Leo T. |
| I tried the resurrection process on 6 versapak batteries that were completely dead, showing a 0.0 on the multimeter for each. Here it is 6 weeks later, and all 6 batteries are still running strong off the initial recharge after resurrection. At $11-14 each, the resurrection process has already saved me over $50. I haven't tried it on any of my other Ni-Cads, but you can bet I will once they start getting weak. Thanks for the great info. Chuck S. |
| Thanks very much. This saved me quite a few bucks repairing my Milwaukee 14.4 batteries. Pretty cool deal. I recommend this to any cordless user . I'm a commercial building framer and will always use this info in the future. Michael M. |
| Works Great!!! I restored one (out of two) dead 14.4 drill motor battery. Battery is at least 5 years old and works like new now... Definitely worth the price of admission!!! Joe S. |
| Saved over $700. in discarded Batteries... I saved 5 18v Milwaukee batteries and 8 Ryobi 18v batteries in less than an hour. It has been two days and all batteries are holding a full charge. So far today the guys have screwed in over 300 2.5 inch screws and still running strong on one Milwaukee battery. I am a contractor and we use from 5 to 8 batteries a day. Larry F. |
| It's great that you sell this info at a very reasonable price, because the tool companies are making a fortune and don't care about us, just our money. Thanks.....Jim D. |
| Rick, This is F$#%&^ unbelievable. Once I started using... the process worked like a charm. Thanks again man this is great. I have at least 1/2 a dozen expensive DeWalt batteries and this saved me a bunch of money. Mark D. |
| Hi Rick, I had five of my many VP100s go weak and was trying to find where I could dispose of them as we are not allowd to put them in our waste bins here in the UK. They were down in the low 100s, so I saw your resurrection ad and I thought for this price I'd try it!!! I did and to my amazment all five went up to the mid 400s. I'm chuft about that as I have three vpdrills/vpsander /vpstrimmer/vpdustbuster/vpscrewdriver and vp multitool, so you see I need the versapaks to work. Genius thanks a million. Bill P. |
| Hi Rick, the resurrection worked great. I couldn't
believe it was that simple. Thanks again. Mark S. |
| It works. I have a craftsman drill with two 18v batt. I was thinking of putting it in the garbage because they cost ($71 each). I solved the problem with the resurrection guide for only $12.95. Thanks resurrection guide. Julio---Puerto Rico. |
| Dear Rick, Just a quick line or two to let you know how thrilled I am about your process. After recieving the instructions on resurrection of the batteries I couldn't wait to try it. Let me tell you that I would not have believed it if I wouldn't have tried it myself. In a matter of thirty minutes I had four out of four craftsman batteries resurrected, two twelve volt, and two fifteen-six volt brought back to life. Thanks So Much, Ray E. |
| Rick, I was very skeptical about a simple fix for my worn-out batteries, but with your low price I figured that it was worth a try. I had four 14.4 Volt batteries that were worn out and despite being left on the charger for days, they would not accept a charge. I bought your Battery Resurrection Guide and immediately used the "Easy Resurrection" method on all four batteries. BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All four of my batteries are now functioning as good, if not better, than they did when originally purchased. Pretty comical that after $12.95 and a few minutes, I now have four fully charged and chargeable batteries. Each battery only needed 1 hour on the charger for a full charge after being resurrected. Just like new. Amazing. Thank you. Harald H. |
| I was initially skeptical and suspicious, but after trying it myself, I'm convinced--it works. The Resurrection technique saved me $80! I expect to save (=avoid spending) _hundreds of $_ over the life of my cordless tools.Good luck with the R&D, I'm especially interested in your findings with laptop batteries. Thanks tons! Alvin L. |
| Rick, I just wanted to send you a quick note to say your procedure worked great and it took all of about 10 seconds! Sears has discontinued the 16.8v battery packs and chargers. They can only be found used on the internet. I was going to end up buying a new drill when I found your website. You just saved me at least a $100! Thanks again! It's nice to know that there are still some good products and info available and that your website was not a scam to just get my money! Glen M. |
| I wanted to thank you for the great information you've put together on ressurecting Ni-cad batteries. It saved me over $100! I own a Craftsman 12v drill. It has provided me with years of faithful service. Six months ago one of the two batteries wouldn't hold a charge. I contemplated purchasing another, but hesitated when I found the replacement cost was $50. Just recently the second battery started doing the same thing. My wife found your advertisement on the web. I ordered the information, and in an afternoon I had revived both batteries. That drill is now a useful tool once again. Erich M. |
| I bought your product and want to leave a testimonial. You saved me alot of money with that resurection guide. It brought back to life 2 cordless drill batteries and 2 batteries from a Sharp video camera so far. Fantastic. You should be asking more for it when it has the possibility of saving people so much money. Thanks again. Kevin G. |
I took your procedures and "resurrected"
a $100.00 Nebulizer Battery and then two $50.00 power tool batteries.
The process does exactly what is claimed when followed. The item
is a Transneb Medical Battery. Ray D. |
| I took my old Versapak batteries and brought them back to life. Works GREAT, and so simple to do. Thanks a bundle, Rick E. |
| Hi Rick, Just a quick note to say just how pleased I am with your "Information". When I received it (within minutes after paying) I went right out in the garage and tried the "Easy Resurrection" method on a Ryobi Battery (9.6v) which has been dead and would not charge for over a year. Battery came to life even before putting it in charger, then after charging it I once again have both batteries that came with the drill!! When I got home from work today, I couldn't wait to try this method on a Makita Drill with built-in non-replaceable batteries. This drill was one of my favorites (Right Size - Right Weight), but hasn't worked in 4 years or so. Just couldn't bring myself to throw it away and the shops want more than I paid for it new to repair it. Well guess what? After removing the screws to separate the halves I did a quick resurrection (actually twice) and on the second one "my favorite" is just like it was before it died! It's charging as I type this. So mark me down for a VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER, and to quote a once popular phrase to anyone trying to decide whether to buy this, "TRY IT, YOU'LL LIKE IT". Thanks again, CARL S. |
| So far I have resurrected 1 battery that would not charge... I took my Craftsman 18 volt charger to Sears & the guy there said the charger was bad (it wasn't). The repair guide is really amazing. Thanks! Gary L. |
| Rick, I used the quick fix on a couple of 12 volt Ryobi drill batteries. They immediately came back to full charge. You just saved me a bunch of money. Thanks. Bill G. |
| Three for three. Two Sears 12volt and one Black/Decker 3.6volt all working fine. I am amazed! It paid for itself when I resurrected the Black/Decker, they cost new $14.95. It's hard to believe that it works, but it does and I am well pleased. I am getting ready to do one for my son next. Thanks again, another happy custmer. Larry B. |
| Hi Rick, The battery resurrection is absolutely AMAZING. I had been trying to recharge a 18v dewalt battery a few weeks ago only to have the dewalt reconditioning recharger red light blink very fast after a few minutes with the battery in the charger. I tested the battery with the volt meter and it read 0.00. I used your instructions to resurrect the battery and I charged it fully on the same charger that it would not charge on and now it is fixed. When I tested the voltage it reads over 20.0 volts. Thanks So Much. Tim R. |
| Rick. This guide is great. I was very skeptical as others were in the testimonials I read. $12.95 is not much to spend these days, even it doesn't work. So, comparing that to the price of a new battery, I went for it. My problem was a Craftsman 18 volt battery that would not charge on the charger. It just flashed red saying the battery was discharged or hot... After applying the process, I put the battery on the charger. The charger said it was charging... I was amazed. My wife sat and watched what I was doing and she could not believe it. Thank you! Mike V. |
| Hey Man, I have to thank you for your Battery Resurrection Guide... I "had" two Ryobi 18 volt batteries that I thought were wasted, but now I have two like new batteries after following your guidance. Thank you again, and good luck, Chad L. |
| I used... to rejuvenate my 18 volt ryobi three year old shorted battery and your system worked the first time. Battery has more power than it did when it was new. Allen M. retired electrician. |
| Man you're awesome! You saved me $140.00. The process is easy, and I think anybody could understand the directions. I had four batteries as good as dead that I was dreading to replace because of the cost. I considered just getting a whole new set (drill and batteries), but you saved me the expense and time. Thank you, thank you, thank you ! ED H. |
| HOLY CR_P, that about sums up the experience. I had 4 batteries for my 12 volt B&D drill and I was down to 1 battery that I could use... I now have 3 after the resurrection... I figured I saved a lot of money when I spent the 12.95 for the tutorial. Thanks... Gary R. |
| Worked fine for me. I revived a discontinued 14 volt Craftsman. Many thanks. Alain L. |
| The battery resurrection guide worked wonders on my dewalt 18v batteries. I was almost ready to go and buy new batteries for my cordless drills, but stumbled on to your web page saving me heaps on replacements. Thanks again, Dave F. |
| I just bought the Battery resurrection guide and already fixed the batterys of two cordless drills. I had them lying around for two years with flat batteries and now they work again. Fantastic! I was skeptical at first, but now I have to say: This works! Fast, simple and definitely cheaper than a new set of batteries. Great, will fix all the flat batteries of my work mates for a sixpack. David C. |
| Thanks. resurrected 3 versapak, 1- 18v and a phone battery. Don B. |
| Hey Rick, Was very skeptical when paying for the resurrection guide... BUT threw the battery on the charger and “BINGO” it was taking a charge. Resurrected a dewalt battery and “BINGO”. Both batteries were flat DEAD; they wouldn’t even take a charge, now they work just fine. You just saved me over 100 buck’s, thanks. Larry O. |
| This worked on 3 of my 4 Kenwood portable radio batteries, They lasted all day with normal use and still had juice left. THANKS RAY H. M. (a happy buyer) |
| It works, I revived 2 18V dewalt XRP batteries, 2 Mastercraft 14.4 V batteries and an old rechargeable lamp. Now I have no limits. Every NI-CAD battery can be revived. Thanks, Jean G. |
| This was genius!!! I resurected two 12-volt batteries of my Ryobi Cordless drill/driver. On one I resurrected with the easy resurection, but the other I had do the long way. I was so excited when one came alive, and was over 12 volts after 3 hour charging. It certainly held the charge and makes my tool work like brand new... It was the best investment I ever did... I thank you for sharing this simple, and very ingenius knowledge. My WIFE thinks I am a GENIUS!!!! F.A. |
| Well, I’ll be damned. The batt was absolutely FLAT, no reading at all. I jump started it using Easy Rez... I put it in the charger and did not get the fast blinking, but the steady blinking, indicating charging. Left it on for a little while and it’s now fully charged. Saved me $60!! Al J. |
| Hi Rick, Just want you to know that I had very good success with your program. I ressurected seven different types of tools with batteries from 2.4 to 19.2... Don N. |
| Rick, I will have to admit that I was skeptical about your claims. After receiving your information I decided to experiment on a couple of very old and very dead nicad batteries for an old Bosch cordless drill. I had given up hope of finding replacements, so I figured I had nothing to lose. To my surprise I was able to ressurect both batteries and return my drill to a useful life. This drill had sat idle for at least 5 years. I am impressed! Thank you, Herb J. |
| This is so Kool even a kid could do it. I Tried the Easy Resurrection first and my Battery took a Full Charge. Thanks a Million, you saved me a lot of money in the future. Steve G. |
| Hi Rick, The two Coleman 18 volt batteries work like new ones with plenty of torque on my drill. It was worth the $12.95. Money well spent. Thanks again, Dave B. |
| Hi. This is by far the best deal yet...! I had six versapak batteries that were bone dead and your method brought 5 back to like new life again! You are a genius and a true hero to we carpenters all across the country. Thank you very much. Thomas B. |
| I have to say that I was skeptical about both your "ressurrection" claims as well as my abilities to perform this, but being a military wife with my husband away for months at a time, I sometimes have to go out of my comfort zone to get the job done, as I am the only one who's here to do it. I ordered your guide, and was amazed at how easy it was to resurrect my two Ryobi 14.4 volt batteries that hadn't taken a charge for months. I was so proud to not only be able to fix the batteries, and to complete the repair project that I needed the drill for, but mostly to be able to e-mail my husband and tell him that I fixed his drill. Thanks for saving me time, money, and frustration replacing a perfectly good working drill. - Sue M. |
| I’m very impressed with your battery resurrection guide. I was skeptical at first. I was able to resurrect two 14.4 Volt Ryobi batteries. Jeff H. |
| I just resurrected two batteries using your method and it worked very well. My drill is back to normal strength, and the batteries hold a charge now where they didn’t before. The method is straightforward and pretty easy. Any man or woman who is handy around the house should have no trouble doing it. In my opinion, it was money well spent. R. W. |
| Hi Rick: Thanks for the Guide, it worked like a charm. I used... to resurrect a Craftsman 16.8 battery that has been dead for about 4 years. The charger code on that one said that it was defective and needed replacing. Well, after applying your procedure I placed it into the charger and it began taking a charge for the first time in 4 years. An hour later the charger showed it had fully charged, I put it back in the drill and it has plenty of power and torque. Am I glad I didn't throw it away. Next, I had two 3.6 volt VersaPak batteries that were dead. I applied the procedure to both of them. To my delight... it now has plenty of power and works like new. Thanks again, Bob H. |
| In the first hour I fixed 4 Ryobi batteries and two craftman. Your product is wonderful. Migdcel N. |
| I waited a few days to see if the resurrection was going to hold, worked perfectly. I resurrected two 18 volt Milwaukee batterys and a 2.4 volt Skil screwdriver and it worked perfectly. Lloyd K. |
| Can't believe it actually worked, but it did on my Craftsman 18V battery. I know new drills aren't that much, but I have become attached to this one, so saving my battery was just the ticket for me. I used... and the battery was resurrected!! Thanks for the wonderful info!! Ted S. |
| I was definitely a skeptic, but thought I'd risk $12.95 since the cost of a new Porter Cable 14.4V battery is about $65. I used... (easy resurrection) and afterward the battery measured over 15V. After charging the battery, seems to have plenty of power. Thanks! Dave M. |
| Great Deal.. I revived 3 batteries using your guide. Thanks, Frank M. |
I had 2 Craftsman 18v batteries, and one 13.2v
battery that would...  |
| "This process works. Of all the household hints, tips, and do-it-yourself advice out there, this is worth many, many times the $12.95 price". Sincerely, Eric P. |
| Found my access, wow used this and everyone of my batteries came back to life even ones that were over 10 yrs old, thanks thanks thanks. David W. |
| I was able to Resurrect two(2) 14.4 volt Craftsman batteries using... I have used my drill with one of the batteries since charging them and they are both still over the normal voltage. Saved me a lot of money. Paul D. |
| I wanted to take a minute and say that Battery Resurrection really does work! I’ve resurrected some Versa-Pac batteries that I almost threw away several years ago. Also, in the process of resurrecting some Ryobi cordless drill/driver batteries I found wires that had broken off and only needed to be soldered back. So even though I didn’t have to resurrect them, the process saved me a LOT of money and I WILL be prepared for when I do need to resurrect them! I am a former skeptic who now believes. Ricky |
| I really didn't think this would work, but you proved me wrong. I resurrected 2 ryobi 14.4 batteries by the easy method. The charger was showing the batteries to be bad, but after resurrecting they worked great. Pretty simple to do and I had everything I needed in my garage. Thanks! D.A. |
| Just a note to let you know that I have had great
success bringing a couple of Dewalt batteries back to life. ...now I am set and able to bring any additional dead batteries back to life. Thanks for the info... Regards, Frank M. Jr. |
| Richard: Here is a testimonial for you: After..., I fixed four old Versapak batteries in a few minutes! Now my drill works again. Thanks a lot. Keith S. |
| Dear Rick, I just finished resurrecting my dead craftsman 14.4 volt battery. You made a believer out of me. I don't know why or how this works, but it does. Richard N. |
| Rick, I am completely amazed at this process! Works like a charm.The money you have saved me is considerable! I have to say that I think this is the best $12.95 I have ever spent. Keep up the good work. Thank you so very much! Truly AWESOME!!! Brian O. |
| I just applied the instructions per the guide. AMAZING RESULTS!! Again, honest American ingenuity. Glad I found your ad. Keep up the good work. Paul D. |
| I had 2 batteries for a 12V Craftsman cordless
drill go on the blink... |
| Hey it works. At first I was skeptical but for $12 one can only give it a try. Now I have may batteries back. Too bad I already bought a new one. Paul B. |
| I had 3, 12 volt Ryobi batteries. I resurrected 2 of the three, the third one had cells that leaked, I'm keeping it for the cells that are still good, plus I resurrected 3 of my rechargeable screwdrivers, that I stashed, I was looking to buy new batteries for these, and now I don't have to, I saved at least $65.00. I took a chance and gambled, and won..This really works!!! I still can't believe it worked..This was the best investment that I ever did!!! Thanks Joe |
| Awesome!!! I had two dead versapack batteries and in just 3 seconds they were revitalized enough to accept a 3 hour charge and they are running like new again. I must admit I was very skeptical at first but WOW, I am convinced now! Thanks again for saving me a bundle! Mike |
| As a true skeptic, I paid your price-to-peek on eBay, and downloaded your multi-page “Resurrection” document. Again, not believing it would work, I gave it a try on a dead DeWalt 18v. battery. Voila! Much to my surprise, IT WORKED! Just felt the need to say thanks, so the reason for this e-mail. I do volunteer handyman work for low income seniors and the disabled and depend on my portable tools. I now sit proudly admiring 20 “resurrected” batteries from 14.4 to 18v. which were redeemed from a dark mortuary of deceased tools. Thanks again… Ken C. |
| Hi Rick, Your technique works great!!! We did a couple over the weekend and everything worked out just fine!!! Thanks very much!!!! Tim |
| Hey Rick, Probably the best $12.95 I've ever spent. I have already restored a Ryobi 18v, 2 versapaks, 5 out of 6 18v Milwaukee. Am presently hunting through drawers and boxes for more.. If only I could get back the ones I threw away. The directions were clear and simple to understand. Please send me the updates as they come available. Thanks again! George P. |
| It worked great! My drill wouldn't hold a charge,
so I bought a new drill. I liked my old drill so much I looked for
replacement batteries on line. They were $40-$65 each. Then I saw
this Resurrection idea. For $12.95 I thought I would give it a try. I... to do an" easy resurrection". It took 10 minutes and I now have TWO good Drills!!! THANKS, Dean M. |
| Hey Rick: I wondered if this would work - especially the "Easy Resurrection" - and it does! I had three 14.4 volt sealed Bosch drill driver batteries, about 9 years old. Two went dead in the last year and one was very weak - on the way out. These cost about $50 each to replace. The Easy Resurrection restored powerful life to all three. Now I'll see how long the first Resurrection lasts - but I am up and running again - it's great! Well worth the $12.95. Russell H. |
| Was skeptical at first. It works!!!! Repaired first battery in 30 min. repaired 6 altogether. Low price for knowledge. Tom R. |
| I really thought this was just some scam, but decided to give it a try after reading other's testimonials. Well, it definitely works! So far, I've resurrected three Versapak batteries and one 13.2 volt Craftsman. Thanks for making this information available. Gary W. |
| Rick, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I now have been able
to restore the power to 3 18volt FIRESTORM batteries that I was asking
Santa Clause to replace for me. I now have asked Santa Clause for
another cordless drill, since I no longer need to replace the "worn
out" old batteries. Hopefully she, Santa Clause, will grant me
my wish. Great product and great person to work with. Again THANK YOU for your information. Not only is it easy to understand, it is also easy to apply, fun to do and best of all, IT REALLY WORKS ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Jim L. |
| I was really skeptical about this battery resurrection
thing working. |
| Dear Richard, Your procedure is wonderful. We've
done all of our batteries and have only had one that was too far gone
to bring back to life. Thanks so much. Please let us know if and/or
when you come up with procedures for other batteries like cell phones,
etc. Sincerely, The Claytons |
| Thank you for saving my drill!!!! I haven't been able to use this drill for 5 yrs. But after about 1 hr of getting things ready then 10 minutes later both batteries are ready to go. My drill is a 14.4 volt craftsman professional. Dan T. |
| I was surprised at how easy it is to resurrect a battery. I am very pleased to have the knowledge you have provided. Thanks so much, Lyman F. |
| I had some batteries I 've kept for over ten years, they were to my makita drill 14 volt well thxs I'm able to use it again after your procedure. I have about ten more that I'll be trying it on. To tell you the truth, I really thought I was throwing money away. Merry Christmas, Jim |
| Ricks method was simple to do and worked as advertised. Ressurected my Craftsman 14.4 batts and Versapaks! Outstanding. Mike |
| So far i have resurrected 2 Ryobi 18 volt batteries that previously would not hold charge. After 1 day both are holding more than nominal voltage. Fantastic! Also, tried it with some success on a rechargeable radio which had been dead for years. I feel like I have got my money"s worth after 1 day of playing around. Wish I didnt throw those 3 Makitas away. Thanks Rick. |
| I reluctantly purchased your battery resurrection
information. I had 3 Ryobi 14.4v batteries that would not take a charge.
These batteries had been defective for at least 6 months. AT $25.00
to replace 1 battery, I thought why not take a chance with $12.00.
I had done some research online about repairing NI-Cads and nothing
I tried had worked. I used the easy resurrection method... After following your instructions I was very surprised when the voltage jumped up to 12.2 volts. I repeated the process on all 3 battery packs, put them on the charger and found that it indicated a full charge after an hour. I measured the voltage and it read 16.2 volts unloaded. When tested on a drill they all worked great. I would recommend this to anyone who has batteries that will not charge. Thanks, Larry G. |
| I am writing to tell of my success in rejuvenating
several nicad battery packs.I have 3 13.2 volt Craftsman batteries of which only one would charge and hold the charge. Also, I rejuvenated a battery pack for a 9.6 volt Mastercraft drill and a Black & Decker leaf Blower. Thanks, John |
| I used your guide to ressurect 2 Makita 12 volt sealed batteries. While one was not too far gone it now holds a charge of 12.45 volts. The other battery would not hold a charge for any amount of time. It now holds 11+ volts, where it used to only hold 7. I guess I will use it for a while and try to ressurect it again to see if I can get 12+ volts out of it. It worked for me. Nacho P. |
| Thanks Rick, Worked on 2 out 3 batteries that I tried. Was ready to throw the tool away or buy new batteries. Mike N. |
| My wife was very upset when I decided to try your method to resurrect a battery. She thought that once again I was believing another lie, but this time she was wrong. Your method really works, my two dead batteries are working as you said. Thanks for being real. Manuel H. |
| For 12.$ I will try anything, so I did order this thinking it will never work. I took two versapak batteries that were dead, not low, but dead, would not take a charge at all; well in five minutes I... as described, put them in the charger over nite, ready to laff the next morning. I put one in my screw driver and hit the button. It started and I grabbed it to stop it from turning. Well I couldn't. I put the other battery in with the same result. Never thought it would work but it did. Never thought I would write to tell either. Mike G. |
| I am utterly amazed! I used..., on two Craftsman 16.8V batteries and your process worked exactly as you described. All I can say is that I thought this was bogus, but now I am a believer. Thanks for saving me a lot of money. HAB |
| Ok, I thought this just another scam on the internet. I had two dead 18 volt Craftsman batteries. But your method worked like a champ and brought both of them back to life. Thanks for saving the $80.00+ dollars it would have taken to replace them. I... and used the quick method…. Worked EXCELLENT….THANKS……One happy Camper….. Jeff S. |
| I tried the quick resurrection on a craftsman drill battery that was dead, charged it, and used it to put up my Xmas lights. Definitely worth it!!! Thank You. Doug C. |
| Hello- I'm usually not one to write to businesses, but I wanted you to know that I had 100% success on 5 Craftsman 18 volt batteries. I am surprised, to say the least. Now if they will stay in usable condition for a while, you really have something! Thanks for the solution, I have several tools that use these batteries and Sears wants around $59. for new ones. Thanks.....Rick R. |
| This technique has worked on all 5 of the Versapak batteries I have tried it on even though I was skeptical and did not really expect it to work. Well worth the money since as far as I can find they are not making these batteries any more. Lee |
| WOW!! This method was easy enough for even me to understand. I really didn't think that you had a new mouse trap to offer but, I just saved the replacement cost of a rechargeable flashlight and a 14.4 volt Craftsman battery. Mike W. |
| Richard, This is my testimonial; It really worked; you saved me way over what I paid for the info. Each 14.4 v battery pack (if I could find that pop in type) cost at least $40.00 each. I resurrected 2 battery packs $80.00 - $12.95 = $67.05 savings for me. Thanks again and please add me to your mailing list. Edward H. S. |
| Rick, I did... and to my pleasure both of my Porter Cable 12 volt batteries are like new. One charged to 12.6 volts and the other one charged to 13.5 volts. I am very pleased with the information and I know it has saved me several time the money I sent you. The Porter Cable drill I have is several years old and they are very expensive to replace thus I took a chance on your information. --- Thanks, Gary T. |
| I'm an old timer who worked most of my life in the electronics field one way or another. When I saw read the ad and claims for your info, I seriously doubted it would/could work. Well, considering the cost of replacing my batteries 2X(14.4V), I decided that I couldn't afford NOT to give it a try. The procedure itself was a piece of cake and it is now the fourth day after I 'restored" both batteries, and they function just as they should. I put a pretty heavy load on both of them in an attempt to bring them down quickly, but they hung in there. I figure your product saved me about $100.00. Thanks Thanks Thanks!!!!!! Glenn L. |
| Outstanding !! I have always been a huge skeptic
when it comes to stuff like this. But using..., I was able to revive
2 Craftsman 18v. batteries ($60 each) that the charger said were defective
and would not start the charging process. Both were showing 0.00v.
I was able to use the easy resurrection and after 10 seconds..., they
immediately started to take a charge. Now they both show exactly 18v.,
saving me $120 in 20 seconds time. Again..Out-freakin-standing !!!
Thanks, Chris B. |
| Rick, I recently purchased your product for resurrecting ni cad batteries, and was able to "renew" 3 of my expensive power tool battery packs. You saved me over $200 for new battery packs!!!!! Thanks. John D. |
| Well, after resurrecting the batteries I reassembled the pack and put it on the charger. Instead of getting a failure notice as I had been getting with this battery pack, it started charging normally. When I went in to check on it a few minutes ago (about 3 1/2 hours on the charger) the green light indicated charging was completed. I took the pack off the charger and plugged it into the drill and it has never run finer! I intend to check it again tomorrow to see what the voltage is after 24 hours, but I don't expect to see anything less than 18 volts. Thank you for making this information available. You saved me considerably more than what you charge for your resurrection procedures in just my first application! If only I'd found your site a few years ago when the battery died the first time! Bob |
| Greetings, I must admit I was a bit cautious about spending the $12 bucks...............UNTIL IT SAVED ME $110.00. I just finished resurrecting two 14.4 V NiCd batteries (Cat No. 48-11-1024) for my Milwaukee 1/2" hammer drill. Both were completely dis-charged and not even able to receive a charge from the charging unit that came with the drill. I followed the instruction examples, which by the way made the whole process FOOL-PROOF, and about an hour later one of the two batteries was back in the drill and functioning normally while the second was CHARGING. Something that battery hadn't done in about 12 months! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. David C. |
| Rick I had my doubts. I used the easy resurrection method on a Dewalt 14.4 that had been dead in the toolbox for two years. I started with 1.3 Volts. Within 30 Sec. it was 16.98 Volts. We used the battery the next day. I couldn't hold the chuck with my hand. You made a believer out of me. Keith J. |
| Rick - I purchased your Battery Resurrection Guide as a last chance to save $65 each for replacement NiCd batteries for a Bosch drill that I have had for a number of years. I had purchased a new battery a year ago and kept the old ones for nostalgia, I guess. I had previously tried to resurrect the old batteries using a method similar to your "Easy Resurrection", but never thought about the most important step! I was able to restore one of my old batteries to full power and life again by the "Easy" method... Best $12.95 I have spent in a long time!! Mike M. |
| Prior to resurrection, the battery would not hold a charge. Now the battery is as good as new. I am trying to resurrect a battery that gave me a reading of 0.00 volts on my multimeter. It is currently in the charger. I'll let you know how it turns out. Sears wanted $49.95 for a new battery. The battery was not stocked in the stores, so I would have to pay for shipping. The Sears salesman suggested I just buy a new cordless drill. Why? The drill may be five years old, but I haven't really used it much. I feel as though I have been duped by Sears. |
| HA!!!! Rick my first shot it worked. I have a
DeWalt 14V that was dead dead DEAD! That battery has been garbage for 6 months or more. |
| I read other users feedback, so I decided to gamble on this guide, since I have a large collection of Versa pack tools. Now, after resurrecting all my Batteries, I pronounce: " Rick's Resurrection ROCKS ! You saved me more than triple the price of the guide ! Thanks, Jim |
| I resurrected 2 18v craftsman batteries! It worked PERFECT! Anyone that is skeptical have them e-mail me for a reference! Thanks, Tommy |
| ok got the link and was able to fix 8 versapak 4 dewalt 14.4 v and 3 12v firestorm. WOW! best 12 bucks I've spent in years....thanks |
| Rick, I didn't think this would work. It seemed too easy. But guess what? My drill is humming along like it is brand new! I thought the drill was going bad and didn't realize the batteries were giving far less than the 13.2 volts they are supposed to deliver. Thank you for a great, unique solution. Rick in Florida |
| I tried the resurrection on a 24V drill that's been sitting in the case for several months because it never held a charge. I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES. It not only charged but was stronger then when I first got it... Thanks to you it is now my favorite. I also recharged several 14.4. INCREDIBLE! Joe |
| Hi Richard, I had all of these old batteries sitting
around, hoping to tear them apart and rebuild them some day. I sure
am glad I didn't throw them away. I purchased your battery resurrection
info, on eBay, and resurrected 18v, 14.4v, VersaPak, 8 batteries in
all. Best money I ever spent! Thank you so much, John G. L. |
| If anybody thought that this wouldn't work I did, mainly because I have some good electrical / electronic knowledge. Well, it did!! My batteries (Bosch) were around 15 years old and not used for some time and basically shot. They wouldn't take charge and were nearly thrown in the bin when I discovered this web site. A quick... brought them back to life and they were running the drill after just five minutes charge. Believe me, this works. You can buy new batteries if you wish but you'd be stupid! 10 out of 10 and £120 saved for me. Andy. |
| Wanted to let you know that your method works perfect. I used the new quick method. I resurrected 3 other 24 volt batteries that registered as bad on the charger. I also resurrected 4 versa pack batteries and 1 12v dewalt battery that wouldn't hold a charge. I didn't need to disassemble any of the big batteries. All seem to be as good as new. I've never been more amazed. Thanks again!!! John |
| RICK, Well got to the batteries to day. Have two 18 volt craftsman with a trim saw. They were dead for about a year and a half .One had 0 volts , the other had 2 volts. The charger said bad batteries, did the quick method. Both read good in the charger and charged to 19 & 21 volts. Ran like new recharged and are still holding a charge. DON |
| I now have three good batteries at full power
again, and am looking forward to "resurrecting" more dead
and dying batteries around the house... |
| This method is AMAZING!!!!! My wife was skeptical..
|
| Hi ! Very pleased w/ the system. I rejuvenated my VERSAPAKS that couldn't`t be charged and was going to throw out. Thanks for the help w/ the problem I had getting started. It was a pleasure doing business w/ you -- Take care, Mike |
| Good afternoon! I apologize for the late testimonial
- I must have bought... |
| I used the "Easy Resurrection" method to bring two dead Ryobi 14.4 volt drill batteries back to life. I was amazed. The batteries have held the charge for several days now. I'm very happy and pleased with your method. It's well worth the money for the information. Thanks! Pete |
One was formerly shown as defective, "dead",
the other pulsed forever on slow charge. It would die overnight. |
| Though skeptical, I went for your guide. Followed the directions for my two rather dead ryobi 14.4 volt drill batteries. Directions were extremely clear and easy to follow. I found..., after..., low and behold they were alive and kicking. Reassembled and charged, the battery shows 15 volts sitting on my bench two days later, and the drill is humming nicely again. I then attacked several versapaks that had been dead for over a year, and low and behold they too snapped out of their coma. Thanks again....S. G. |
| Tried your quick system out on a few batteries and it worked great. I'll try the regular process on the batteries I can open up. I have complete confidence it will work just as well. Thanks, Jackie |
| Hi, i just used it to save some 15.6 black and decker batteries. Worked great. Thanks again, Steve |
| Hey Rick, Used... to resurrect my two 18V fire storm batteries, then used... to repair a 24V battery. Can't say enough about your system. Best of luck and God bless America. Thanks, Charles |
| All four of my Craftsman 9.6V batteries were “defective,”
as indicated by the |
| It really works. I was able to resurrect 2 Sears 18 volt batteries. Replacement cost from Sears was $120. Art T. |
| Hi, Just wanted to let you know that the easy resurrection worked with both dead batteries. I then tried it on a battery that had been dead about 1.5 years and it worked on that too. I am completely satisfied and amazed. I have saved at least $100+. Feel free to use this letter as an endorsement and testimonial. Once again thanks. Bill H. |
| Dear Rick, Thank you so much! I was able to resurrect a Milwaukee 14.4 volt battery on my first attempt. The battery wasn't that old but was only holding 10.5 volts at full charge. After resurrecting.. it now charges to 16.5 volts. Wow!! It also held the charge over night and the drill is really kicking. The milwaukee battery was very easy to work with. Like I said in the email subject line, only Jesus does it better! Thanks for helping to resolving a pet peeve of mine. I was actually buying refurbed drills, that came with two batteries, because it was almost as cheap as buying two new batteries! Sincerely, Eric S. |
| Rick, I had to write and tell you about my first
successful battery resurrection I have a Craftsman 16.8 Volt battery
that read 9.7 volts. I put it on the charger and the charger indicated
a defective battery. I... . I then re-checked the battery and it showed
over 15 volts right away. I put it on the charger and it charged fine
to 18.2 volts! I checked it again this morning, and it was still 17.7
volts. I admit I was skeptical even after reading the instructions,
but it really does work! Thanks, John |
| hey Richard.. couldn't believe my eyes. the volt
meter read 18 volts when just seconds earlier it would only give me
15 volts. |
| I used... to restore 2 dead 12 v batteries about 2 weeks ago and they seam to be working fine now. also I used... on my 18 v battery that was working, but would not work for long. that has improved a lot. Thanks, Leo |
| Couldn't believe it! But it was quick fast and simple thanks for the information. Robert J. |
| Rick, I can't thank you enough for the guide to
resurrecting batteries - It's easily the best thing to happen to my
toolbox in the last couple years. Here's my little story: |
| I just completed resurrecting two 14.4 volt Ryobi batteries using your method. Thanks! I am probably the biggest skeptic on this type of Internet stuff but I still took a chance. After using your method on battery #2 I slid it into my charger and for the first time in 4 months it started charging! It came to full charge very quickly so I pulled it out and it showed 15.5 volts! I ran my drill, no load, for almost ten minutes and it still showed 15.5 volts. I used your fast resurrection method... It came back to life and took a full charge, also showing 15.5 volts! I have not put these under load or use, but I have two functioning batteries for $13, not $70 or more! Paul D. |
| Rick, Used your express method on two Sears 14.5 VDCs and it worked great. I couldn't get the individual cells out of the case so i tried the express method and it worked. Ron T. |
| I can't say enough good things about your procedure. I was going to have to buy 2 Milwaukee batteries at $70 each and have successfully brought them both back to life. Also an AEG drill battery that has been on the shelf for 4 years and now it works. They all appear to be at full power. Thanks, Dave C. |
| Worked fine hope you send me updates please. GREAT IDEA ! MONEY SAVER ! THANKS, Kevin |
| I tried your restoration process using the quick method. Used it on a 14.4 V CRAFTSMAN and a 9.6 V RYOBI and it worked great. I don't know if the charge will hold, but initially it charged a dead 14.4 V back to full strength..... Ron |
| Rick.... Thank you for the information....My craftsman 14.4 batteries, when they were placed in the charger, would light up green and yellow - defective battery....after using your procedure, when placed in the charger, the red light now comes on, which indicates that the battery is charging....I performed the procedure on THREE 14.4 craftsman batteries...the initial indication using the volt meter was above 14.4 almost to the 15 mark....I was using an older model that is not digital.....It is really unbelievable how simple it was....I think yesterday I was too excited in " getting my batteries back " that I just didn't read the instructions right....thank you again.... sincerely, Todd |
| Hey Rick, I live in Mexico where it is hard to find replacement batteries for my 12volt Dewalt. I was searching eBay for pricing when I saw you ad. I took the chance and sent for your info. One battery was completely dead and would not receive a charge at all from the charger, the other held a charge for about 10 minutes. With that battery I could only drill a few holes before recharging and could not use the circular saw at all. I followed your 3 step process and in seconds got the battery packs up to full charge. It was like giving an unconscious body a jolt with a defibrillator at the hospital. They both are working again. Beats $50 bucks per replacement battery. Thanks, John |
| I had two 12 volt batteries that were totally useless. After the full charge time, one held around 5 volts charge and the other around 2 volts. It had been a year since I have been able to use these batteries. After trying your procedure, one battery holds a 12.4 volt charge and the other holds an 11.9 volt charge a day after being charged. They went from being totally useless to serviceable batteries! Thank you, Pat |
| Rick, I couldn't be more happy about the $12.95 I spent on your instructions. After receiving your material and then running some errands, I came home and sat down for maybe one hour and have my battery drill back in action. It has been down for at least 6 months. (At first I also thought maybe my charger was bad.) I checked at Sears then for new batteries and they are over $59.00 each. That was then. Needless to say I didn't have the extra money since I'm on a fixed income. The drill itself is a professional series, 14.4 volt and it is a pretty good working drill. Now thanks to "Resurrection" this drill and I are back in action. I still can't believe it was that easy and quick to do. On one... I had to perform the task 2 or 3 times on that one to get it going, but it did come alive. Thanks again. Ray |
