After many years of faithful service my cordless drill battery is dying/not holding charge

I cannot locate a replacement battery (cheap make) so time to upgrade (old one will be laid to rest with full honours)

whats a good voltage nowadays? 16? 24?


Now we all know how it felt to play in the band on the Titanic...

    I guess it depend on what you use it for, (eg occasional DIY, or professional). A lot of people like Makita but can be pricy, (you get what tou pay for), and Screwfix usually have some deals going on.
    For what it's worth I currently have a Worx cordless system as they offer a range of products that use the same (20v) batteries.
