No decision to me, a local shop will rebuild it right which is important on that cold rainy night miles from home out of cell range. When mine went and stopped charging I got all of 7 miles before loosing everything.

I've yet to see an SVX reman for less than the price of a local shop doing it.

Got the "Christmas tree" business from my teal as I pulled into the yard yesterday. Decisions...
