Knackered rechargeable batteries wifey burned them out. 😉
I was hoping that title might get a little attention. Sorry to disappoint but it’s a battery drills battery that’s knackered, nothing else, you naughty people. I’m here asking for recommendations on replacement battery brands not just for my drill but other appliances that need new batteries. What are good brands. are there cheap batteries out there which are just as good and reliable with good life span.
Es esta una buena pregunta?

I came across random youtube videos of replacing ni-cad batteries with lithiums. In general, ni-cads are older style and use a dedicated charger, The same for lithium batteries requiring dedicated charger. If yours is lithium rechargeable, replacement should be straight forward with many online guides. Converting ni-cad drills to lithium are more complicated as the charger from ni-cads cannot be used otherwise overheating and fire hazard can occur. A dedicated lithium charger is needed, matched to the number of cells and other parameters. Rechargeable batteries are more or less generic with many distributors to choose from for reasonable diy repairs.

It's not cheap, but DeWalt makes a battery conversion kit for your drill that lets you buy DeWalt lithium ion battery and use it on your Ni-Cd drill. It comes with adapter, charger and two batteries.

You can always check AliExpress, eBay and Amazon for various aftermarket adapters; they're not hard to find, then you can go shopping for compatible lithium batteries.

I was hoping I could break down the old battery pac and replace the batteries inside. That should keep down the price. I should have been more specific. I have been having a look around and there is a lot to choose from but how good are the various selections/brands etc?

I was involved in model radio control helicopters when ni-cads were the only rechargeable batteries. Model exhibitions hosted rechargeable battery distributors for diy pack making in any capacity. Panasonic and Varta come to mind. When searching online, I found many other brands, all comparable to name brands but less costly. As a modeler, batteries must be reliable as radio control powers the receivers and servos commanding pitch, roll, throttle and tail rotor. Older gyros are dc powered motors. All taking power from rechargeable battery packs. Fast forward to lithium rechargeable batteries with many brands and capacities. You haven't mentioned if your drill is ni-cad or lithium ion. One place online is Tenergy. There are others to compare costs, dimensions, capacity, charging modules, etc.

Can I get a recommendation on a battery supplier/brand in the EU? I can’t buy the tenergy batteries, I can’t get a deliver to the uk. Even Amazon has let me down.
