Drill Driver Replacement Batteries

Post by berry »

I wondered if any of you could/would recommend an on-line source for replace drill-driver batteries. Both my Panosonics have given up the ghost. TIA

You might find it cheaper to buy a whole new drill than just the battery.

I've used these folks in the past with mixed results. Batteries are replaced with new cells and returned in about 7 - 10 days. Reasonable prices (compared to new batteries at the big box stores).

The mixed results were on one order the batteries that didn't last very long. I had used the drill heavily (8 hours a day over about two weeks) However, they were replaced under the warranty.

I'm searching for another vendor but have had no luck yet (at least for a comparable price).

You can Google for more versions. It has been talked about on a lot of lists and maybe even here.
