[Shop-talk] battery rebuilders?

One of our local stores had an entire 18V name brand drill on sale including 
battery and charger for $49 over the weekend, I think the brand was Hitachi.  
Certainly has to be better than Ryobi and Harbor Freight.

I have a Ridgid set that came with 18V Lithium batteries.  These batteries were 
sub par right out of the box.  I need to find out how to send them back for 
replacement.
