    Replacement batteries for Hitachi drill

    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?
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    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.
