But I bet that you could get a new drill with two new

I opened up one pack. The internal construction is
rather complex. Actually, at $40 each, they would not
even be overpriced, based on what I saw inside.
I have replaced nicads in other things in the past,
but these pack have too many connections to make it
worth the trouble for me.
