Replacement batteries for Hitachi drill

[mudnut]

G,day all. I have a perfectly good 12volt Hitachi battery drill, with a stuffed battery pack. i have been told that the battery is no longer avaliable from
Hitachi.
Can anyone recommend an aftermarket replacement that won't burst into flames?

That was my thinking when I got the drill, but no good on a tin roof, though.

Yeah, i've heard of really cheap and nasty knock offs having incendiary qualities.
