No, but someone from the old POB sent me a link about a year ago for the site. My Nikon batteries are $110 on that site, which is about one third the cost from Nikon.

I had my Nikon battery recelled at Batteries Plus, 70 bucks with a 1 year wrnty. Will give it a go the rest of the week and let you all know.

I had a couple of Nikon batteries recelled at Batteries Plus. The last time, the battery shorted out, caught fire, and would have burned the instrument if someone had not quickly removed the battery. The instrument still had to be repaired.
The technician at Allen Precision Equipment said it was a result of cheap wires they used to recell the battery.
This happened about 10 years ago. I haven't used them since except for new items.
