I have looked into getting these rebuilt. *Looking at the prices the

So question is whether it's better to rebuild them or just get new
drill/batteries.

Then I ran into one article that briefly talked about 12V Dewalt
batteries and B&D batteries are interchangeable. *Not the same, but
interchangeable? *and the B&D ones are much cheaper?

Is this true? *and if so, can you charge the B&D batteries with a
Dewalt 1 hour charger?

Anyone know for sure?

B&D owns DeWalt, so it makes some sense. Call a local service center
and ask one of the techs - they'll know for sure.
