RE: ShopTalk: Batteries for Power Devices

MyKey- I work part time at Lowe's and most of the replacement batteries are in the $40-70 range.  Also, each manufacturer has a different battery, so you have to be careful and get the right one. I'd suggest you take the old one to Sears first and see what they have. It seems like it's almos

Re: ShopTalk: Batteries for Power Devices

Mykey, of course the obvious answer is go to Sears, in your case, and buy a replacement.  I use a lot of Makita and you can find their batteries all over the place.  I think you might be looking for some generic replacements and I can't help you there.  Are you sure these batteries are for tools?
