Tested each individual cell and replaced 2 defective cells in the DeWalt battery pack....charged the battery and works fine...
glued the top of the battery pack back on ( which I had removed to gain access to the individual cells)
Did this before with another cordless drill, with the same good results.

Now that's being thrifty!
I'll have to try that next time I have a dead one.
