I have got a couple of drills, both Ni-cad and I intend to rebuild the
battery pack. Easily done, just buy the rightnumber of batteries and
wire them in series in teh pack. I presume you can do the same with
the lithium batteries etc.

Uhh, assuming the battery packs were built using standard cell sizes.
My 18V battery packs certainly don't look like they contain 15 AA cells
inside (AAA won't provide enough current).

Most battery packs take what's called a "sub-C" cell. These are
standard sizes, just not what you're used to from the bunny.

BTW, I bought a Porter-Cable 14.4V driver to supliment my 12V
Makita (batteries going) a couple of years ago. The PC driver is
quite nice, as are the other PC tools I've bought.
