Hi:
22.50 is for the kit, which includes the #8 torx bit driver, and
instructions. 17.50 for the battery alone.

The point is that you could check with different electronic supply
houses in your area, and ask them if they rebuild batteries, and see
what they would charge. I am currently looking to buy a small welder,
and may start re-buildi

Hi:
One quick question. Is the power adapter for the Duo280c downwardly
compatible with other Duo's. I may be getting a Duo210, sans adapter,
and wonder if the one from my Duo280c will work?
Thanks,

Hi:
After several weeks of not so patient waiting, I got my PB Duo 280c
and Dock yesterday. It mostly works great with some problems. So I
need your help.
First does anyone know of a source for downloading a User Guide or
Getting Started Manual for this model?
Second and more important, I ne
t a very
reasonable price. Here in San Antonio, Texas we have such a store, and
I have had several portable TV batteries rebuilt, as well as one
computer battery with very good results. Turn around time is short, and
no shipping/waiting for snail mail to get it back to you. Call around.
