Well, it can be very satisfying to open up a piece of kit to find a bunch of
normal ni cads inside the case and replace them with something more modern
and get it back for a few more years.

Unless there's something special about it, it's unlikely to be
economic to have it repaired unless you can do it yourself and
write-off the time taken.

How old is it, and any idea what type of rechargable battery it
takes? I have replaced the NiCDs in my old B&D a couple of times,
but I really like it and they don't make them like that anymore.

+1 replacing cells is fiddly time consuming and surprisingly expensive.
The battery is the major cost of a new drill. So unless it is a 'don't
make them like that anymore' just get a new one.
