I hope this is the correct place to post this.
I bought a whole set of Porter Cable 18v NiCd tools in 2009.
I have replaced most of the tools but there are a couple that I'd like to use again but the old NiCd batteries have expired.
I replaced the batteries once with the P/C replacements and they only lasted a couple years--probably from setting without being used--anyway I have some DeWalt 20v Li-ion tools whose batteries are still going strong after 7+ years of occasional use.
AND at the time of battery replacement I had to replace the charger as well. It is able to charge NiCd or Li-ion.
My question is this ; I know that I can open the case and do the interconnections, but where do I buy these Li-ion cells.
I'm a little skeptical of the self proclaimed YT experts. I would like to hear from someone here who has done this successfully.
