My DeWalt 14.4v three-eighths-inch drill worked fine for eight years  
before the last of the two batteries died. Now the decision is whether  
to buy new or reconditioned batteries or to bite the bullet and buy a  
new set, probably using the lithiom batteries. Looks like batteries  
are about $40. I am leaning toward a reconditioned set like I have,  
but half-inch, for 148.69, from TylerTool--http://www.tylertool.com/dewalt8.html--because 
 it includes two new batteries and if any part of the system fails I  
have a backup, other than the batteries. Anyone have experience here?
