Bruce,
Thanks for the heads up, I'll discuss this with the guy that rebuilds the batteries.
If he would rebuild them with Lithium batteries (at a "reasonable" cost) I'd be overjoyed! I have three of them for my DeWalt 18VDC
tools in Australia and they charge quickly and hold the charge for what seems FOREVER!

Rob,
Check your charger for it's capabilities before you spend $$$ on NiMh batteries. NiCads are pretty easy to charge circuitry wise.
NiMh batteries require some smarts in the charger or you will damage the cells. LiIon require even more smarts from the charger to
safely charge it.
I believe NiCads should be stored with only a partial charge, NOT fully charged. NiCads are going the way of the tungsten lamp, so
get them rebuilt soon.
