<font size=2 face="sans-serif">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.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">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.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">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?</font>
