I am rebuilding a couple for my drill. You can buy the C-cells at hobby stores where they sell the high $$ R/C cars etc.

Note that at Sears you can currently buy an 15.6 volt new drill (but single speed 0-600 RPM) and worklight with two batteries and case for 59.99 on sale.

18.0 volt w/two speed gearcase - Includes drill, 2 D.E. bits, charging cradle, 2 batteries, manual, case and work light 69.99

This probably beats buying a new battery for the Porter Cable at $50.
TorqueFirst,
Can you supply additional info on buying the cells? I have one of these drills, and two batteries that don't hold a charge as well as they used to.

If you don't want to rebuild the battery yourself, then you can have it done at your local battery shop. John

Here in Sac we have a store called the Battery Store. All they sell is batteries, batteries and more batteries. Most are the dry cell type like flash lights use, but they also sell automotive types. Check your yellow pages and see if you have an equivilent. John
