Have thought about repairing, by replacing cells, my original 10 cell
cordless.

I could strip 10 new cells from one of my new Wickes drills and
install them in the ( plastic undamaged ) original battery pack for
my original cordless drill.

I could then make a PROPER charger to fit into the original charger
case to prevent overcharging.

i gave up buying cheap cordless drills this year, having gone through
about 5 of them in as many years,

Couldn't agree more. BTDTGTTS. I've been running a couple of Makita's with
ni cads for over three years now, in daily use, no hint of battery failure.
When they do eventually go I'll buy Makita again but with li-ion.

The chargers with decent tools are already 'proper'. Good quality cells &
proper chargers are part of what you pay for with better brands.
