After several years, the battery in my cordless drill is dead.

As is often the case,
a replacement battery costs more than the whole drill !

The drill gets occasional light-duty use around the house.

Can anyone suggest a replacement brand ? * ( less than $40 )

For less tha 40 bucks you can be guarnteeed the cheapest made drill
along with second rate chinese batteries. HD Ridgid brand will get you
a lifetime battery warranty, dont be so cheeeep this time. You do get
what you pay for.
