Seeing Darrens post about batteries and Vaughns comment on giving up with nicads reminded me of a question i wanted to ask.
Has seen or know of whether any company has replaced ni cad batteries with lithiun ion packs when refurbing an old battery pack?
I have a panasonic cordless drill thats way to good to throw out yet i dont want to buy another nickle metal hydride pack for it. I was thinking perhaps the market place would have seen an opportunity in this and offer refurbs of packs. I recognise the charger would be different but presume outside of that if tha pack were matched voltage wise it would be ok.
Sad to have battery packs cost as much as a whole drill and charger replacement. Just waste to me.
So anyone know if this is being done and if so by who?
