I have my Dewalt pack torn down and it looks pretty simple to do if i could buy those thin flat strips of metal to solder all the batteries together with. Also,these things are the size of c cell batteries but way shorter. Any idea what class of batteries these are? I'm pretty sure they're NICAD OR NIHMI.

I wouldn't say that I've "rebuilt" one, but I did have a pack that stopped working because one of the strips came loose. I just soldered it back down and the pack worked again.

Not sure what class the cells are or if they can even be purchased.

The battery pack should say what they are. They could be NIMH, or maybe LiFe.

Really though... battery packs are just not that expensive man.

It is probably NiCad. Just buy new batteries. They ain't expensive anymore. I moved up to lithium
