Default NiCad Battery Packs?

Is there a source for NiCad batteries with solder tabs that would be
suitable for rebuilding tool battery packs? The cells are about 1 5/8"
x 7/8" and probably 2100mAHr.


Normally the size is 'Sub C'

I don't want to overheat the cells with direct soldering. Don't own a
spotwelder. I want solder tabs.


Most electronic suppliers sell them. Look for tagged cells. Trouble is
they often cost more than a new battery pack from the maker. However, if
it is a 'budget' power drill, etc, decent quality cells can often make it
work better than new. But with a budget drill make sure the charger isn't
going to damage your nice new expensive cells...
