I am totally off nicad or nmhd. I had 4 12v porter cable magna-quench drills lay down on me all at once, that is eight batteries.
The new LiIon drills are much better.
If you will take the battery pack apart, you'll find that it is made of an array of smaller cells.
You can buy the individual cells and rebuild them yourself if you are handy with a soldering iron.
I have one black & Decker Li-Ion drill (so far so good)but have resigned myself to use real drills and extention cords.
Ryobi makes a real nice little 3/8 reversible drill w/ Keyless chuck that has a 10 foot cord, but what is great about it is it has 10 clutch settings which I have never seen on any other corded drill.
