It's called Batteries Plus.  You send them your battery pack and they 
rebuild it.  Just about any battery supplier can do this these days.  There 
was a battery place in Dallas when I lived there that did this with battery 
packs for radios and other equipment, but I don't remember the name of the 
company now.  Probably any of the battery companies on e-bay can do this 
also.
