Hi All
I wonder if you can give me some advice. I am a heavy DIY-er not trade. I have a full set (9 in total) of Dewalt cordless 18v tools all running the same 18v Nicad batteries. I have 7 (original Dewalt) batteries of which 1 by 1 they have dying over the years. I now have 1 that will hold charge for a bit and 1 that is good as new.
My options are to replace the entire set with a new Li-Ion one which will prob cost me £1,200 or buy new Nicad's (not sure if my old set is worth anything!). As I'm not trade they don't get used all the time so not keen on spending £1,200. I also don't want to keep buying new DC9096 batteries as they are not cheap and it's been going on for a while but 1.5 batteries is not enough.
I heard on the grapevine that you can by a Li-Ion adapter, is that right? Any other bright ideas?
This must be a common problem!
Many thanks
