Patrick, that in addtion to 3rd party batteries in the old
form factor, DeWalt makes an adapter for NiCd 18V tools to
take Li-ion 20V Max batteries. It's not as cheap as one
wishes, but it works perfectly. I've extended the life of my
old 18V hammer drill with that adapter and since I have
several batteries it was better than pitching the old drill.</div>

like my CTEK charger/maintainers. They have
good-performing charge/float/recondition

quick-connect is a helpful check on a battery at a

putting stuff in a $117 kit, and it's all useful gear.</div>
