I have found a great place to have the rechargable batteries for my cordless drills rebuilt.
Freedombatteryrebuilders.com 800-347-8589 in New Freedom PA. FOr $39.95, they will rebuild your battery for a contractor grade performance. I had 4 done a year ago, they get a lot of use. They perform like new. It beats buying new ones. I am sending off 2 more to be rebuilt. (put your name on them). Check out their website!

"I had 4 done a year ago, they get a lot of use. They perform like new. It beats buying new ones." Your testimony is important; there was an outfit in town that just took them apart, cleaned the contacts, and recharged them. Definitely not worth the price. Thanks.

dave the P102 lithium battery is the least powerful, short run time.here is a chart for them....p100 to p108...http://toolboyworld.com/eBay/Ryobi_Batteries.htm the only thing i dont like, is when they dead....there is no warning. you hit the trigger and nothing.......change battery))))
iam ryobi lover)))))) looked at the rest, from dewalt,to metabo(high end tools)and for what i do RYOBI, is the best bang for the buck. i still have a 14.4V drill, saw, light........but batteries are dead. i bought 18 v regular saw, drill, light....so i just upgraded to 18V lithiums. got a recip, and 12V compact drill. its awesome. way smaller then the 18V, can get into tighter spaces, has a light, and will bury a 3" wood screw..and still want to turn your wrist!!!! got the recip for my birthday i think it was....

Well I'm going to disagree with you on that one OP. Those are P102, their standard Lithium Ion which I have 2 of them and they last at least 5 times longer than the old Plus 1 batteries. I had a drill and an impact driver being used all day making benches for tools, (long over due) and would go several days before they died. Besides, with most work, with 2 batteries, the first one dead will completely recharge before the second one dies. I would never need longer life than the P102 unless I was a carpenter or used these on an assembly line.
I'm with you on Ryobi though... definitely the best bang for the buck. I have their angle drill, 3 regular drills, impact driver, recip saw, circle saw, & random orbit sander
