My 10 year old Bosch PSR 7,2 has only had light use, and is still
in good condition, but the battery is pretty shot. I can get an
unbranded replacement, with twice the capacity, from ebay for
GBP25.49.

Currently on offer at B&Q is

A Bosch PSR 14.4 V driver, complete with two batteries, for only
GBP49.98

Much as I dislike throwing away working kit, I can't really
justify buying a replacement battery, could you?

I did the same recently when my old and trusty DeWalt batteries finally
packed up. Picked up whatever was on special offer at Screwfix at the time
(it was actually a Makita 18V with 3 batteries which I'm very pleased with).

I was even more pleased when I sold the old DeWalt body only + case and
charger on ebay and actually got £33 for it!

Good luck!
