[Shop-talk] Makita Ni-Cd Batteries

[DAVID MASSEY]

That sounds like the Makita I have.  (The label came off so I'm not sure of the model)  My NICAD battery gave up the ghost so I bought some Lithium batteries to fit.  They had twice the A-H and worked well EXCEPT (there's always an EXCEPT, isn't there) those batteries and a BMS (Battery Management System) built in so that they would play nice with the NICAD charger.  Being cheap replacement batteries the BMS was also cheap and the batteries would self-discharge OVERNIGHT!  Kind of eliminates this tool for impromptu projects.
I broke down and bought a Milwaukee drill/impact set (M12) which can sit for months and still have fully charged batteries.
Anybody want a Makita 9V battery drill with two batteries?

 Another question for the folks who can't throw anything away...
I have an old Makita 6201D drill motor with 9V 9101 batteries.  Must be over 30 years old.  One of the batteries finally stopped taking a charge, and the other one charges but won't hold a charge very long - always needs a charge before use.
I can spend $35 on a pair of new batteries, or I can spend $35 on a Ryobi One+ 3/8 drill kit with battery that fits all my other Ryobi tools.
Someone please tell me I'm overthinking this, and suggest a way to find a proper home or resting place for my old Maktita workhorse.
