My old Makita 14.4V 6233D cordless drill works fine but both of my
batteries
are near the end of their life. As many of you already know the price of
replacement batteries is obscene.

The closest I have come to "reasonable" is about $45 through several web
sources. Everything local is in the $65 to $80 price range. Does anyone
have experience with a particular supplier or battery brand?

Thanks.

Just checked this out on Ebay. Doesn't look too bad.

I might give them a try on my 12V and 14.4 V Dewalt packs.

Cheers,
