mckeller 18volt rechagable battery?

were can i get a replacement 18v mckeller rechagable drill battery .focus does not sell them any more and does not want to help find one
Mr Stephen Hamilton, August 2012
You say .focus does not want to know, So from that, I would say over 5yrs old, as that is the time limit for service on equipment, They only need to provide service parts etc for about 5yrs after end of sales.
I would say have a look at other drills, some are probably the same size and fit. Most drills etc whatever the make, the battery packs fit similar. Other thing, Something I would do, although not recommended, is pull the thing apart. the packs are made up of several 1.2v cells for a 18v pack, 15 cells, the problem is connecting them, they are dot welded. You may find that if you open it up, only 1 cell is faulty, so replacing that 1 cell, will get it back to normal. Another thing you could try is to cycle the battery. Connect a lamp across the terminals, to discharge it fully, (normal use does not do that) then charge fully, Then discharge it fully, and repeat. You might need a few goes, But sometimes works, and gets the battery back to full operation. I have done it in the past, It works sometimes.
