I used a service that did the battery replacement. For the hassle of
sending my unit in, waiting and getting it back, then having the contacts
corrode within a year, I wouldn't do it again.
I would just do it myself. You can buy the battery cells for cheap (and
upgrade Ahr) and solder them yourself. It's fairly straight forward.

I’ve been using the DeWalt 18v tools for many years. Battery technology
has moved from NiCad through NMh to Li-Ion. It seems that DeWalt has quit
making 18V batteries & now supports their 18v tools using an adapter that
allows their 20v Li-Ion batteries to be used in the 18v tools. I have one
of the adapters and, while it works, makes the tools a bit awkward. There
are after-market 18v li-Ion batteries on the market. Does anyone have
experience with any of them, good or bad?
Thanks in advance.
Peace,
