Q: My old cordless drill has a rechargeable battery that’s shot. I can’t find a replacement power tools battery. Can you tell me where to get a replacement?

A: First, find a factory-authorized service dealer (check the Yellow Pages under “Tools, Electric”) and ask about the replacement price. Brace yourself; it might shock you. A new 12-volt battery for an old drill of mine costs $45. Next I called a battery dealer, Batteries Plus (800-MR-START; www.g-batteryshop.com). They quoted me a price of $33 to rebuild the battery, which includes a six-month warranty. Rebuilding consists of opening the battery pack and replacing the ten 1.2-volt cells (10 times 1.2 volts equals 12 volts) with new ones.

Find rebuilders in the Yellow Pages under “Batteries.” They will tell you if they can do the job. If the drill is still working well, I’d rebuild the battery pack.
