I have a DeWalt 12v Drill and Impact Driver that currently use NiCad batteries (DC9071). I have had these for a while and rebuilt the battery packs several years ago. I bought the rebuild NiCads from Spring Grove Battery which seems to be out of business so I have been checking the .net for replacements. One option is to go to Lithium Ion. Not sure if this is a recommended conversion. The other option is NiMh which is an easy replacement. My charger (DW9116) should, according to the Internet, charge both NiCad and NiMh batteries.
Good source for NiCads? What Amp Hours? If NiMh is a good replacement what is a good source and what Amp Hours? I just use these tools for DIY projects. I have corded drills for heavy duty work.
Thank You.
