I ahve a Sears drill with a rechargeable battery pack. The battery
pack will no longer recharge. Can these be repaired? Is the cost
too high? Thanks.


No one will repair it 'chep'. You can however, buy tabbed
batteries on ebay and replace the defective batteries yourself (if
you can solder).




He could get an estimate from a store that does battery rebuilds.
He could take the model number of the drill/batt.pack to Sears and see
what a new pack costs.
Then he could determine whether it's worthwhile to repair or replace
the pack,or go for a new drill.(hopefully with TWO batt.packs)

I took a defective 18 volt craftsman into sears a couple months ago..
they no longer had repalcement batteries for it.

Did you try the on-line (or local) Sears parts store,where you get
replacement parts for Sears products? Or just walk into a Sears store and
ask a clerk? All they know is what's on the shelves.(if that much)


the newer 18 volt
packs are differnet and won't fit. Ended up buying a new set. Got a
perfectly fine drill that I habe no battery for. How do these packs
open ? seems all sealed to me.

Battery pack plastic bodies are usually heat-welded.Takes some work to get
them open and still be able to re-close them.
