I've still got one battery and the charger. I need to decide what kind
of replacement to get.

Do I need 18V? I assume not. My intended uses are in the home,
including renovation: putting up drywall, mounting cabinet doors. I
doubt I'll want to drill masonry on my own. I also assume I don't want
a hammer driver.

Of what's available at Home Depot or Lowe's, what's recommended? What
considerations are there? Some of the products are distinguish from
each other only by features whose usefulness to me I can't ascertain.

Hi,
Don't you want to use the spare battery and charger for your next drill?
I got a De Walt 14V screw driver and drill kit which has been good to me.


Are the batteries interchangeable among manufacturers? I'd thought of
that. I still have to check what my remaining battery's voltage *is*.
It's marked on neither the battery nor the charger. I need to drag out
my voltmeter.
