Anyone else think it is cheaper to buy a new drill instead of replacing batteries?For the price of 2 batteries you almost have the cost of new and improved drill.

Certainly it is cheaper. Harbor Freight advertises batteries for some of their drills at $7.50 each.

With several corded drills and a couple of bettery drills I still had problems with drilling metal pipes and such along the fence line. Took a 12 volt with worn out batteries and and hooked in 12 feet of 12 gauge wire. Run it off my riding mower battery. Works great.

Makita had deals like that. The drill was a bottom end unit. The batteries were their bottom end. Not nearly the good deal that it looked like. Check to make sure you are comparing apples with apples on the batteries.

Batteries for 12v makita can run from $40 to almost $80

Fix the batteries yourself. Each cell is 1.2 V. The cells fail completely. Disassemble and measure each cell with a DVM. Cut out the bad cells and solder in cells from a donor battery. The straps solder easily. Just watch polarity. You can measure the V of the whole battery and tell how many good cells there are, just note the V from 14.4 or whatever and divide by 1.2.

I think it is a smarter way to go. I just did this myself. even if you buy the batteries it might not take care of the problem completely. for another $40 or $50 you can get a brand new drill. i just bought a 14.4 xrp series that shows it has more torque than the standard 18 volt for $199

If you just buy new drill kit then you always have a spare drill. that comes in handy once in a while.
