I have an cordless old drill in perfect condition but the Ni-Cd battery barely holds a charge (14.4V dewalt).
I would like to replace the C size batteries in the pack with Li-Ion 18650 batteries from various laptops that i rescues through out dumpster diving.
Is it possible to group some of the similar 18650s to and solder the (+ / -) ends to the old battery pack (dispose of the Ni-Cd) and use it with the existing charger that comes with the drill kit.
Thanks in advance..
