FedEx notified me that Nethers Battery shipped my battery today; May 24th. Sent the battery to Nethers on May 17th so within six days they received it and upgraded it pretty fast service. The FedEx notice estimated delivery at my home on May 28.
Nethers rebuilt my PIM battery with new Li cells, increased the Wh of storage to a little over 600 Wh. Not cheap, but this will keep my Terrain 503 in service for another ten years. I am sending a second battery tomorrow!!
PIM (Power In Motion) the spin off of Polaris eBike is slowly selling off remaining inventory on EBay. The deal looks something like this. You buy the eBike without an operational battery for $500. Then have the battery "rebuilt" by a third party like Nethers Battery. I think this is going to...

Hi-C Battery is another source for rebuilding Polaris/PIM battery packs. In January 2020 they told me that they are relocating to a different building so will not be taking additional orders for pack rebuilds until March of 2020. Quote: "The cells of today are a better chemistry than just 2...
John Nethers [email protected] is willing to investigate working on PIM/Polaris battery packs. He has no experience with our particular packs but his offer to "not charge" to look is pretty good.
https://ebikemarketplace.com/products/polaris-e-bike-battery-replacement?variant=8035110027294 EBike Market Place advertises that they can rebuild PIM and Polaris 44V packs. Their webpage identifies the Polaris Terrain 500 Wh (44V 12Ah) as a pack they can service. This is identical to the...
