I got a cordless drill from DeWalt on a big sale two years ago I remember
it was on some clearance for $129.95 or something and it came with two
batteries.

Now the batteries will charge up in 30 minutes but will drain in much
shorter time. I checked for new 12v ones and they are $70 a piece! I
could not believe it.

So, first, is there anyway to "fix" the batteries. I assume they are
draining must faster because I did not wait till they are totally drained
before recharging or I left them on the charger for too much longer after
it was charged? Is there a way to fix the problem other than getting new
ones?

Batteries have a finite life. The cells are going bad and not holding
charge. There are rebuilders that will do them cheaper than new and can
also upgrade to more powerful.

I've used these guys http://www.primecell.com/pctools.htm with good
results but there are others.


OK thanks, I will check them out.
